whom he lived. Upson, a newspaper man who could write with a flourish, gave
Garrett the best of the controversy and painted the young outlaw in dark
colors; the more he built up the Kid as a super bad man, the more credit his
friend Garrett received.... The author created many legends about the Kid which
have lived to the present time." Adams, One-Fifty 61n.

"Without doubt, the most cussed and discussed book of the twentieth century.
Fully documented and hard hitting, it is a scathing exposé of Lyndon
Baines Johnson. The author states in the introduction: 'After almost forty
years of research into the historic past of Texas, with a growing concern over
America's future, I have undertaken this inquiry into Lyndon Johnson's
ambitions, methods, and career.... It seems to me that another 'native son'
should do no less in atonement for the shameful part Texas has played in
foisting this devious and designing man upon the American public.'"
