Product Description

Review
'An adventure that suggests there's still plenty of 'wild' left in the West. It's exciting, uncomfortable and unpredictable.' Wanderlust 'The account of duplicating Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid makes a bumptious and entertaining adventure story. Not Paul Newman and Robert Redford but wonderful chroniclers of the sights, sounds and feelings of that grand, harsh country.' Time Magazine "Absolutely gripping." The Daily Mail "A cracking read, packed full of adventure and drama." Wanderlust "A great adventure story - full of intrigue." Horse Magazine "An adrenaline-buzzed read." The Good Book Guide

Time
'A bumptious and entertaining adventure story. Wonderful chroniclers of the sights, sounds and feelings of that grand, harsh country.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Riding The Outlaw Trail, 5 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Having always been an enthusiast of the Wild West and dreamt as a child of being Butch or Sundance, I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this book.

Written skillfully interweaving not only the stories of Simon and Richard who followed the trails of the famous outlaws, but also the history of Butch and Sundance, the Wild Bunch and the Super-Possee who tried to track them wherever they went.

A must read book which I couldn't put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Grit, 18 Mar 2004
By Roselynn "Roselynn" (West Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
I know the author and so made a point of buying and reading the book. I didn't expect the tale that unfolded - this is a gritty story of a hard expedition across the vast empty spaces of the south-western US. Horses go lame, a couple of them die, expedition members break bones, tempers fray, friendships are broken and made. It's a tale of the generosity of the ordinary country people they meet and also an insight into some of the less savoury people they encounter. I don't suffer poor writing gladly and I was pleased to find that this was a well written account that really keeps you on the edge of your seat eager to read what happens next. Simon's extensive knowledge of the history of Butch and Sundance is put to good use in providing some interesting background info about each place they ride through along the trail. The trail ride and the history progress alongside each other reaching a climax - the end of the trail and the end of Butch and Sundance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Riding the Outlaw Trail, 8 Mar 2004
By A Customer
I thoroughtly enjoyed this book, I just wanted to be there with them, riding through the wilds and tracking down wild west history. It is a well written book which sweeps you along with the adventure, although I could have done with a bit more description. My only criticism is that there are no pictures, I'd really have liked to have seen what the people and horses looked like! However, the narrative kept me transfixed and I found the book hard to put down. If you liked this, try "A Girl a Horse and a Dog"
