This book is a review of the life and times of the
infamous outlaw known today as Billy the Kid, but in
my book I call him Kidd. An explanation is in the book
on why I chose Kidd, spelled with two d’s. What makes
my version of the Kidd’s life span different from others
is that it includes views of history as seen by the
Mexican people that knew him at the time; including my
great-grandmother. My research indicates that the Kidd
died in his nineties in the early 1950s; I have
firsthand accounts of people that knew him at the time,
including a story of a man who is still alive that met
him in l949. Also included is an account of how Pat
Garrett met his demise.
I show the connection between my great-grandmother and
her husband and the Kidd. I also give an insight on the
Lincoln County War correspondence between Fort Stanton
and Fort Craig, and Santa Fe; and Colonel Dudley’s exit
from Lincoln when higher command shipped him out to Fort
Union because of his involvement in the Alexander
McSween debacle during the Lincoln County War. The
historical value of this book, during the turbulent
times in the Territory of New Mexico, will be
appreciated by countless western history buffs.

What would entice you to risk everything, your very life
and those of your wife and sons? Pink Higgins didn’t
know either but he did just that when he left his
Georgia farm for a God-forsaken place in Texas called
Lampasas County.
Staying Alive in Lampasas County follows this
determined young man and his family on a treacherous
journey by wagon train across the southeastern United
States to the wild and cruel frontier of the
mid-nineteenth century Texas. There we ride with him
through horrifying Indian raids, skirmishes with
heartless outlaws, exhausting trail drives, feuds with
neighbors, tender moments with a proud but loving wife
and the challenges of raising two sons under the
harshest of conditions. With grit and determination he
took on everything this cruel land and mean people could
offer and he bested them all.
In a land where there was no law, he lived by the rules
of decency and common sense and expected others to do
the same, often with the aid of his Winchester rifle.
Loved by those dear to him, revered by many and feared
by many more, Pink Higgins carved his name into the
history of central Texas and became the leading
character in one of the most remarkable and violent
events ever to occur there.
Every reader of western adventure novels and every
western history buff wants to read about this sort of
man. For everyone raised in the West, this man brings
someone familiar to mind and everyone who has ever
dreamed about overcoming monumental odds to reach a
goal in life wants to be like this remarkable man. The
history of central Texas would be incomplete without
the mention of Pink Higgins.

I’d never met a man; other than my father, that molded
my life, at such a young age. The stories that Bill told
us kids; are still vivid in my memories. They were
stories of honest men, doing an honest days work. God
help the person who interfered or tried to steal their
livelihood. For they were men of law and respect.
Sure, our parents told us that the stories ‘Cowboy Bill’
told us were lies, but we didn’t care. He took one
summer of our lives and showed us what it was like to be
a cowboy; to live in the old frontier. He told us things
I’ll never forget. And I’ll never forget him or that
summer.
Each time I look at the stars at night, I’m reminded of
him.
