This is a historical fiction I had to write for my english class.
This story is set in the Wild West during the late 1800's, in a place called Lincoln County, New Mexico. The introduction of the story is from the perspective of Pat Garrett's wife Apolinaria. We then hear from Pat Garrett's point of view, and the tale concludes with Apolinaria's narration.
