Description
The Last Outlaws: The Lives and Legends of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid by Thom Hatch. In the twilight of the Wild West, two outlaws refused to surrender. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, leaders of the notorious Wild Bunch, pulled off daring bank and train robberies with a professionalism that left authorities baffled. For several years in the late 1890s, they evaded capture, targeting wealthy bankers and eastern railroad corporations who exploited western land. As the Old West gave way to modernity, Butch and Sundance knew their time was running out. Faced with new technologies and law enforcement tactics, they fled to South America, seeking a fresh start. Yet, in Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia, they found that crime had not yet lost its allure. Thom Hatch brings these larger-than-life figures to life through meticulous research, revealing the truth behind the myths of Butch and Sundance. With this book, Hatch sheds new light on the lives of two men who became legends of the Wild West.
