Blackwater Draw: Three Lives, Billy the Kid, and the Murders That Started the Lincoln County War

This detailed portrait of the violence that took place from 1878 through the summer of 1879 in Blackwater Canyon, New Mexico is drawn from the work of a team of investigators that scoured the canyon in 2006 searching for the remains of the men and weapons. Turk (historian, US Marshals Service) uses quotes from letters and court room testimonies, and the volume closes with a report on the analysis of fired cartridge casings used in Agra Negra Springs. Extensive footnotes and occasional black and white photographs appear throughout. No index has been provided. Annotation 2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
