Billy the Kid
“My name is Paul. I was an army private and a buffalo soldier here during the Lincoln
County War.” Luke and Jenny noticed the southern drawl in his voice. “Would you like
to come back in time with me and see some of the things that happened during the Lincoln
County War?”
“Was it a real war? With real armies? Did you fight in it?” asked Luke.
“Well, why don’t y’all come with me and see for yourselves?”
and the Lincoln County War
As Luke and his sister Jenny resume their summer vacation their mother plans
a stop at the historic town of Lincoln, New Mexico. But when a thunderstorm
begins to brew Luke and Jenny realize things aren’t what they seem. Suddenly
they are swept back in time and find themselves face-to-face with the notorious
Billy the Kid. The ghost of Paul, a young buffalo soldier who lived over a
century ago, guides them on their journey as they experience the life and times
of this mysterious young outlaw. Will Billy the Kid live up to his legend?
“From Ruidoso to Lincoln, New Mexico, (and beyond), Luke and Jenny make the trip
remarkably believable even as they confer with their ghost guide. Gayle Martin’s depiction
of the Billy the Kid era is on as complete as I’ve ever read. What a great story for young
folks!”
Billy the Kid and the lincoln county War
– Susan Wingate, author of Of the Law
“See a snapshot of Billy the Kid’s famous life and learn about Western history at the same
time. Luke and Jenny tell the story as they visit back-in-time with a ghost buffalo soldier in
this well-written novel.”
– Cherie Lee, co-author of The Saga of Thunderbird and Dancing Star
“What a nice follow-up to the first book. I enjoyed how the author brings historical figures
back to life while maintaining a sense of the present interacting with the main characters, Luke
and Jenny. I would recommend Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War to anyone with an
interest in the Wild West and a sense of adventure.”
