Presentation Description:
In the late 19th century a young man named Henry McCarty changed his name to William H. Bonney and became one of the best known historical characters of our Western mythology. We know him as “Billy the Kid.” Who was this young Irish lad who was so loved by the Hispanic community of the Southwest? Warren presents the lesser known facts about this young man’s life and the war-torn land that he loved to give an audience a new understanding of the dichotomous nature of history. One person’s “bad man” is another person’s “good guy.”
