About the UNT Press

The University of North Texas Press was founded in 1987 and published its first book in 1989. Though we are the newest university press in North Texas (following SMU Press and TCU Press), we have quickly become a leading press with the most titles in print and published (approximately 20-25 each year). We are fully accredited members of the Association of University Presses. Our books are distributed and marketed nationally and internationally through the Texas A&M University Press Consortium.

IN THE DAYS OF BILLY THE KID “A masterpiece. In the Days of Billy the Kid is a tremendous contribution to New Mexico and American West history that frequently demonstrates original research by diving into previously unknown records. James B. Mills has gathered more significant material here than imaginable. ”—Chuck Parsons, author of The Sutton-Taylor Feud (UNT Press) and Clay Allison: Portrait of a Shootist

CHANCE OF LIGHTNING “With humor, punch, and heart, Chance of Lightning strikes deep into what is elemental, what is luck, what is loss, and what is love. Every page of this book surprised me. Kristin Robertson is a poet to watch.”—Melissa H. Range, judge and author of Scriptorium: Poems
