Quotes 7/12- Lew Wallace, Billy Joe Shaver

"A precious specimen nick named 'The Kid', whom the Sheriff is holding here in the plaza, as it is called, is an object of tender regard. I heard singing and music the other night; going to the door, I found the minstrels of the village actually serenading the fellow in his prison"- New Mexico Territory Governor Lew Wallace on Billy the Kid in 1879




"Dance on the mountain,shout in the canyons
Swarm in a loose heard like a wild buffalo
Jamming our heads full of figures and angles
And telling us shit that we already know"- Billy Joe Shaver
