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. With the tenacity of Pinkerton agents, the
couple tracks the outlaws and the enigmatic Etta Place through
South America, where they fled in 1901. Meadows and Buck rove
Argentinian pampas, Chilean deserts, and Bolivian sierras; pore
over faded newspapers and musty documents; exhume skeletons with
the aid of forensic anthropologist Clyde Snow; unearth eyewitness
accounts of Butch and Sundance’s final holdup and the Bolivian
shootout; and examine letters by the bandits and interviews by the
Argentine police who investigated their activities. Information
about William T. Phillips, who claimed to be Butch Cassidy, is also
included. While filling in the blanks in the Wild Bunch saga,
Meadows explores the nature of truth and discovers how myths are
made. She updates the search with a new afterword to this edition.
