"This is a fun book for anyone who has been intrigued by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Etta Place. The author and her husband undertake a serious and most-thorough search for all things/anything related to the famed banditos. Their travels in South America are both adventure and great travelogue. Ms Meadows leaves her work open because there still is a host of unanswered question attending her subject. She has invited inquiry. At one point the search for the Bolivian grave of Butch and Sundance centers on San Vincente. I called attention to a local (U.S.) custom; a non-Catholic may not be buried in a Catholic cemetery, save by special dispensation. Meadows replied (in part), "Thanks for the email. That thought has cross our mind, that perhaps the locals dumped them in a shallow grave on the pampas, outside the cemetery walls. But, what evidence there is indicates that they were interred inside the cemetery..." This is a fine work."
"I didn't actually read the whole book...it was more about the author's experience in South America than about Butch & Sundance...just didn't find it all that interesting."
