Bonney aka Billy the Kid. In hardback and paperback, it is 592 pages. All his known communications are presented in full: deposition, court transcript, bill of sale, letters, newspaper interviews, and quotes from contemporaries' memoirs. For the first time all his letters in original handwriting are reproduced together. Included is a new Billy the Kid letter to Governor Lew Wallace, authenticated by the author. As revisionist history, the text analyzes everything from his penmanship to his brilliance, and places his words in the context of his times: portraying him as a freedom fighter in the lost multi-cultural Lincoln County War against the land-grabbing political cabal of the Santa Fe Ring.

In the thirtieth year of his reign, a kind king gets a sad mystical prophecy: he cannot protect his beloved young daughter's innocence. The next day, that princess finds a perfect flower, whose thorn-prick brings her first tears. From a droplet of her blood and her teardrop, materializes a unicorn. She secretly meets that loving unicorn until her first lie ends her innocence and leads to his killing by waiting hunters. Ultimately, a unicorn returns to her own daughter, after the princess becomes queen. Unicorns appear in ancient Greek writings, in the Judeo-Christian Bible, and in heraldry. Most famous are Medieval images, epitomized by two sets of tapestries depicting a pure maiden and the hunted unicorn, having overtones of holy martyrdom. Seven such tapestries are in the Cloisters collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, New York. Another six unicorn tapestries are in the Musée de Cluny in Paris, France. The author and illustrator, GALE COOPER, is a Harvard educated, M.D. psychiatrist, who has written and illustrated other books on fantasy, animal anatomy, and human interest; and has written both fiction and non-fiction books on the Old West.
