as
"Billy
the
Kid,"
whose
daring
deeds and

crimes have excited,
for
some years last past,
the
wonder
of
one-half

admiration or

of
the

half.
I
am incited to
this
labor,

"The
Kid."
These pretend to disclose his name, the place
of
his nativity,
the
particulars
of
his career, the circumstances
which
drove
him
to
his
desperate
life, detailing
a
hundred im
possible deeds
of
reckless crime
of
which
he was never
guilty,
and
in localities which
he never visited.
I
would
dissever
"The Kid's"
memory-
from
that
of
meaner
villains,
whose deeds have
been
attributed
to him.
I
will
strive
to do
justice
to his character,
give him credit for all
the
virtues
he possessed
—
and he was
by
no means
devoid
of
virtue
—
but
shall not
spare deserved
opprobrium for
his heinous
offensfes
against
humanity
and the laws.
