Lawyer-turned-writer Anne Meadows and her husband, Dan Buck set out to solve the mystery of what really happened to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The couple tracks the outlaws and Etta Place through South America where they fled in 1901. They rove the pampas of Argentina, deserts of Chile and the sierras of Bolivia; pore over faded newspapers and musty documents and unearth eyewitness accounts of Butch and Sundance’s final holdup and the Bolivian Shootout. This revised edition draws on discvered letters by the bandits and interviews by the Argentine police who investigated their activities. It also includes fresh information about William T. Phillips who claimed to be Butch Cassidy.
