5.0 out of 5 stars This is a treasure for any reader, 6 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Digging Up Butch and Sundance (Paperback)
I just could not stop reading this book, as just like the authors I wanted to know if a graveyard in a remote Bolivian town would reveal the last resting place of Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, the 2 infamous outlaws. As you turned each page you experienced the joy of the authors finding a small piece of new evidence or the frustration and disappointment of dealing with the local bureaucracy.

The book describes the authors' search in Argentina, Chile and Bolivia for the truth about

the gunfight in San Vicente in 1908. Did Butch & Sundance take part? or were they bodies mis-identified in order for them to start a new life, free from the chasing posses. Evidence is gathered from a number of sources, local S.American newspapers, mine company records, and recollections that descendants have been told by relatives who knew Butch & Sundance.

This is an excellent book, not for people who are interested in western outlaws but for those who wish to know about people who lived and worked in a bygone era.

3.0 out of 5 stars Persist past the Sahara dryness!, 8 Aug 2002
By C. Stewart "The Cat's Whiskers" (Yorkshire/Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Digging Up Butch and Sundance (Paperback)
Anyone seriously interested in what happened to Butch & Sundance should read this as it is a well researched, serious attempt to come up with what "really happened". Unfortunately, it's too serious. It's scholarly and sober and lacks the wit, humour and romance of anything like the Old West. The book also fails to answer questions. It points out in length the mysterious disappearance of Etta who covered her tracks so well she dropped of the face of the earth, then shrugs it's shoulders as if to say "oh well" and carries on! It points out South America was packed to the rafters with Americans matching loosely the duoes description and that their families believed they escaped to live out their lives together in Colorado (having seen them after their "deaths"), then shrugs again and makes no attempt to follow this line of enquiry up! Still, it is worth a go if you soldier on past the dry prose.

5.0 out of 5 stars On the trail of Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, 15 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Digging Up Butch and Sundance (Paperback)
I must admit that in my mind the myths around Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid were all tied up with the 1969 movie starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. I had a vague idea that the characters were based on real people, but I wasn't very curious about them. Then I ran across this book. I meant to give it a desultory glance, but I got hooked by the charming George Leroy Parker aka Butch Cassidy and his hothead partner, Harry Longabaugh aka the Sundance Kid. I found myself peering at the photographs and thinking, "They were real!" I was particularly entranced with the mysterious Etta Place (if that was actually her name). This is a very entertaining account of obsessive sleuthing. The author and her husband even went to Bolivia and witnessed the digging up of remains of an outlaw purported to be Sundance. Ms. Meadows reaches no definite conclusions, and that's just fine with me. Perhaps if we knew exactly what happened to them, they wouldn't be so intriguing.
