Butch Cassidy
Did Butch Cassidy really die in a shootout in Bolivia? A wanted man for horse stealing, as well as bank and train robberies, stories about Cassidy and his partner, the Sundance Kid, were printed throughout his lifetime and beyond. Authors Green and Sanford separate the fact from the fiction for readers.
* Reviews *
This interesting, information-packed series covers some of the most popular outlaws and lawmen in American history. Much of what we know may actually be false. The authors have studied first hand reports negating some of the popular myths about these personalities. Each book begins with a story or description that personifies what each outlaw or lawmen was best known for. The next several chapters discuss the life and times of each character. Each book concludes with a legend that still wavers between fact and fiction. Old photographs and drawings fill the books lassoing in the reader with the likeness of the outlaws as well as family, friends, homes, and towns of the old West. A timeline would have been helpful. The reader comes away with a renewed sense of the late 1800s. Designed with reluctant readers in mind, this series has appeal for a wide audience. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Index.
