Butch Cassidy The Lost Years by William W. Johnstone Book PDF Summary
“An entertaining story with lots of plot twists.” —Booklist An exciting, page-turning, speculative novel about the most notorious—and, as history has proven, the most beloved—outlaw in the history of the American West, as told by the greatest Western writers of the 21st century. JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE LEGENDS NEVER DIE. In a small Texas town in 1950, a Pinkerton detective interrupts an old-timer’s game of dominos to learn the truth about Butch Cassidy—who is still very much alive and well. In fact, he’s the old-timer playing dominos. Seems that after surviving the infamous shootout in Bolivia that claimed the life of his partner the Sundance Kid, Butch returns to Texas searching for a place to call home. When he comes across a dying rancher who’d been shot by some rustlers, Butch promises to avenge him—and take over the ranch after his death. Assuming the name Jim Strickland, Butch begins a new chapter in his life. But trouble has a way of finding Butch. A corrupt railroad baron pulls him into the most dangerous train robbery he’s ever attempted. But if Butch Cassidy is going to ride again, it’ll have to be with a newer, and wilder, Wild Bunch . . .
