Summary
Patrick Floyd Jarvis Garrett (1850-1908) was an American Old West lawman, bartender and customs agent who became renowned for killing Billy the Kid. He was the sheriff of Lincoln County, New Mexico as well as Doña Ana County, New Mexico. Life of Pat F. Garrett and the Taming of the Boarder Outlaw tells the story of the sheriff who pursued and killed Billy the Kid. Authored by John Milton Scanland, a newspaperman who knew both Pat F. Garrett and New Mexico well, the book was written shortly after Pat F. Garrett's own slaying in 1908. A thrilling read, no collection of Western Outlaw material is complete without it
