The Authentic Death & Contentious Afterlife of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid

The Authentic Death & Contentious Afterlife of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid

Paul Seydor

Northwestern University Press
2015
sidottu
Long before Sam Peckinpah finished shooting his 1973 Western, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, there was open warfare between him and the studio. In this scrupulously researched new book Paul Seydor reconstructs the riveting history of a brilliant director fighting to preserve an artistic vision while wrestling with his own self?destructive demons. Meticulously comparing the film five extant versions, Seydor documents why none is definitive, including the 2005 Special Edition, for which he served as consultant.Viewing Peckinpah's last Western from a variety of fresh perspectives, Seydor establishes a nearly direct line from the book Garrett wrote after he killed Billy the Kid to Peckinpah's film ninety-one years later and shows how, even with directors as singular as this one, filmmaking is a collaborative medium. Art, business, history, genius, and ego all collide in this story of a great director navigating the treacherous waters of collaboration, compromise, and commerce to create a flawed but enduringly powerful masterpiece.

The Best Sports Writing of Pat Jordan

The Best Sports Writing of Pat Jordan

Persea Books Inc
2012
sidottu
A highly-entertaining collection of sports journalism from a forty-year veteran. For decades, Pat Jordan has been one of the best sports writers in America. This engrossing book compiles twenty-six features from throughout his career, among them his most famous magazine pieces and a small selection of previously unpublished gems. Included is an exciting selection of Jordan's profiles of sports legends such as Wilt Chamberlain, Tom Seaver, Greg Louganis, Venus and Serena Williams--each one frank, insightful, and salty--as well as an extraordinary sampling of the pieces with which Jordan made his name: those about athletes who are obscure, unsuccessful, or have fallen from grace. Whether writing about the marginal, the famous, or the infamous, Jordan displays a hard-boiled, highly literate prose and a capacity to convey how the idiosyncratic mindsets of athletes lead to success or failure. "The Best Sports Writing of Pat Jordan" covers a variety of mainstream sports and some less athletic (but equally competitive) pastimes like poker, pool, and child beauty pageants. A Q&A with Jordan gives intriguing behind-the-scenes scoops on select stories. Fun, revealing, and very readable, this book represents the best work from a standout in his field. Highlights from "The Best Sports Writing of Pat Jordan": "Trouble in Paradise": L.A. Dodger all-star (and presumed future-U.S. Senator) Steve Garvey takes a hit to his public image--from his unsatisfied wife."Roger Clemens Refuses to Grow Up": The greatest pitcher of his generation is really just a big baby."The Outcast": O. J. Simpson stars as O. J. Simpson and has a thing for Jennifer Love Hewitt."Of Memory, Death, and the Automobile": Phil Hill, Renaissance Formula 1 racecar driver, obsesses over his obsessions."Renee's Retreat": Transsexual tennis pro Renee Richards reflects on her life on both the women's and men's tours."Duquesne, PA": In a down-and-out factory town, high school football provides the only escape."Is this Man the Future of Poker?": Poker phenom David Williams beats the odds, but can't bluff his girlfriend."The Noble Turtle": A wannabe actor can't escape his boxing past. His name? Sylvester Stallone.

Pat Patton, a 30-year-old prankster-loving new attorney, has learned how to run his office and navigate the justice system to secure the best legal outcome for his clients. His case load has grown as well as his feelings for Asst. DA Shirley O'Kelly. They had to outrun a psychopath who was hell-bent on killing them. Now the unsuspecting lawyer is the target of another dangerous criminal, who has sworn that death is too lame a payback for the death of his brother. More educated and a more vicious psychopath than brother Skinny, Jeffie plots to really get Pat and Shirley as Pat juggles two major cases: one, a motion before a judge to exonerate a man who has wrongfully served 26 years of a life sentence; the second, a trial in which Pat defends a woman for running dope from Jamaica to the Atlanta Airport. Pat feels like a volley ball as he handles more and often humorous cases while being interrupted by terrifying, life-threatening events. Pat and Shirley find relief only when they join family, old and new friends, who rally around to help them.

Tall Tales & Half Truths of Pat Garrett

Tall Tales & Half Truths of Pat Garrett

John Lemay

History Press
2016
nidottu
While many lionize Billy the Kid, the man who killed him, Sheriff Patrick Floyd Garrett, has a rarely told but riveting true story all his own. His adventurous life spawned many a far-fetched, exciting legend. In 1896, Garrett's investigation of the still-unsolved murder of Albert J. Fountain on the White Sands led to nothing but a gunfight and a dead deputy. Some say that Garrett faked the details the night the Kid was brought to ultimate justice, while others swear another wannabe hero did him in. In perfect irony, Garrett's own 1908 death is shrouded in mystery. Some report he died by the hand of Billy the Kid himself. Author John LeMay exposes fabricated tales for what they are and focuses on memories long forgotten about Billy the Kid's personal grave digger, Sheriff Pat Garrett.
