The Chronology of the Life of Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War
This section of my page is simply a chronology of the life of Billy the Kid, the life of his friends/enemies, and the Lincoln County War. For this section, I have used the following books as my primary sources:
- "The West of Billy the Kid" by Frederick Nolan
- "The Lincoln County War: A Documentary History" by Frederick Nolan
- "Jessie Evans: Lincoln County Badman" by Grady E. McCright and James H. Powell
- "The Illustrated Life and Times of Billy the Kid, 2nd Edition" by Bob Boze Bell
- "Such Men as Billy the Kid: The Lincoln County War Reconsidered" by Joel Jacobsen
The sections are divided by date and there is around seventy-two dates per page. Enjoy!
