註釋On July 14, 1881, Patrick Floyd Garrett killed Billy the Kid at Fort Summer, New Mexico, thereby securing his place in history for all time. He found his reputation to be both an advantage and a burden throughout the remainder of his varied career. One of his admirers was President Theodore Roosevelt who had appreciation for the lawmen of the West who had brought order to their communities, often with no more than their own bravery. This book is based on the letters that were written by Garrett, his friends, and his enemies, to the president concerning Garrett's appointment as Collector of Customs. His days in office are well documented with newspaper articles and personal accounts. From this firsthand information, you will understand more about Garrett, the man. You will learn how Garrett lost his position as Collector of Customs in El Paso, how his career was redirected, and about the mystery which shrouded his murder. -- inside flap.
