In Search of Butch Cassidy Paperback - 1977

by Larry Pointer


From the publisher

"Western Americana fans will love this one. Pointer, an authority on Butch Cassidy and the famous Wild Bunch, believes he has convincing evidence that Cassidy, born Robert LeRoy Parker, was not killed in a 1908 shootout with Bolivian cavalry, as reported, but returned to Spokane Washington. . . . The bandit, a colorful, inventive, sentimental yet ruthless maverick, may have lived as Phillips until 1937."--Publishers Weekly "Pointer has written an engrossing book after a detective-like and all-embracing effort to determine the truth."--Journal of American History "Pointer has done some fascinating historical detective work and has collected some convincing evidence. One of his sources is a copy of a manuscript Cassidy wrote about his outlaw days. Pointer frequently and extensively quotes from this as he reconstructs Cassidy's life and criminal exploits. He lets Butch himself describe the Bolivian shootout in which the Sundance Kid was killed."-- Library Journal Larry Pointer has long been interested in Western history and rodeo history, and is the author of many articles, particularly on Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch.

First line

"NOT that it matters, but most of what follows is true."

Description:
University of Oklahoma Press, 1977. Softcover. Good. 5x0x8. Previous Owner Inscription. Who was Butch Cassidy? He was born Robert LeRoy Parker in 1866 in Utah. And, as everyone knows, after years of operating with a sometime gang of outlaws known as the Wild Bunch, he and the Sundance Kid escaped to South America, only to die in a 1908 shootout with a Bolivian cavalry troop. But did he die? Some say that he didn’t die in Bolivia, but returned to live out a quiet life in Spokane, Washington where he died peacefully in 1937. In interviews with the author, scores of his friends and relatives and their descendants in Wyoming, Utah, and Washington concurred, claiming that Butch Cassidy had returned from Bolivia and lived out the remainder of his life in Spokane under the alias William T. Phillips.
