John LeMay Bücher

Learn the secret history of Ash Upson, the man who invented the legend of Billy the Kid as Pat Garrett's ghostwriter!

During the Turbulent Era of the 1930s, America found itself teetering on the verge of entering its second World War. It also found itself on the cusp of the Golden Age of Flying Saucers which would begin in the late 1940s. Prepare to join authors Noe Torres and John LeMay one more time to investigate the final unexplored frontier for UFO sightings: the 1930s! As you read this book, you'll ask yourself: Were the mysterious "Ghost Fliers" seen across America's skies enemy aircraft, or UFOs in disguise à la the Great Airship Wave of the late 1890s? What is the secret of the Underground City of the Lizard People buried under Los Angeles? Was a small-statured mummy discovered in a lonely Wyoming cave just a mummified infant suffering from anencephaly, or was the body really from the stars? Were green fireballs seen hurtling through the skies of Dulce, New Mexico, a sign of things to come in the future? Was a flaming airship crash in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in some way related to Mothman? Were alien bodies and a recovered disk stored beneath the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. a decade prior to the 1947 Roswell Incident? Did a mass alien abduction remove an entire tribe from the shores of Angikuni Lake? And finally, did UFOs help to start World War II?

While many respectable books on Billy the Kid aim to demystify his illusory life, this one-of-a-kind collection proudly has no such intention. Find all of the untold and potentially true--but very unlikely and highly embellished--stories of the Kid's life, death and enthralling life thereafter. Be thrilled by sightings of Billy's ghost riding through old Fort Sumner and marvel at his search for the fabled Lost Adams Diggings. Wonder at the mysterious thefts of his tombstone and discover the famed desperado's dozen or so doppelgangers who posthumously popped up all across the Southwest. Courtesy of yarn-spinning raconteurs of yore, author John LeMay unveils the many forgotten and discarded tales of the legendary William H. Bonney, an everlasting emblem of the American West.
