About the Book

Now in trade paperback, THE LAST OUTLAWS is the enormously entertaining, action-packed history of the lives and criminal adventures of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The Old West was coming to an end.Two legendary outlaws refused to go with it.Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid-as leaders of the Wild Bunch, they planned and executed the most daring bank and train robberies of the day, with a professionalism never before seen by authorities. For several years at the end of the 1890s, the two friends, along with a revolving cast who made up their band of thieves, eluded local law enforcement and bounty hunters, all while stealing from the rich bankers and eastern railroad corporations who exploited western land. The close calls were many, but Butch and Sundance always managed to escape to rob again another day-that is, until they rode headlong into the 20th century. Fenced-in range, telephone lines, electric lights, and new crime-fighting techniques were quickly rendering obsolete the outlaws of the wide open frontier. Knowing their time was up, Butch and Sundance, along with a mysterious beauty named Etta Place, headed to South America, vowing to leave their criminal careers behind. But riding the trails of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia, Butch and Sundance would find that crime wasn't through with them just yet. In The Last Outlaws, Thom Hatch brings these memorable characters to life like never before- Butch, the brains of the outfit; Sundance, the man of action; and the men on both sides of the law whom they fought with and against. From their early holdupattempts to that fateful day in Bolivia, author Thom hatchdraws on a wealth of fresh researchtogo beyond the myth and provide a compelling new look at these legends of the Wild West.

Review :
“An absorbing and entertaining read.”—USA Today

The Last Outlaws…is eloquent of not only the Old West that we think of when we see a photograph of a butte or a mustang or a Colt revolver but also of the implacable forces of time and change that extinguished it.”—The Wall Street Journal

“Extremely well written…a must read for any fan of the Old West and the outlaw life.”Deseret News (Salt Lake City, UT)

“Butch and Sundance…continue to beguile us. The author is expert in patching together what is known about these furtive characters.”The Dallas Morning News

“Mr. Hatch [is] an accomplished historian with a journalist’s eye and a novelist’s touch.”The Washington Times

“Hatch achieves what most historical writers fail at, engaging their readers while giving a full-untainted history.”Latinos Post

“While not the first or likely the last book to chronicle the colorful lives of outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Hatch has potentially written the most authoritative. Drawing from an impressive number of sources, Hatch’s multidimensional study of two of the Wild West’s most famous criminals and their compatriots strives for accuracy without sacrificing entertainment value…An immersive and entertaining study.”Publishers Weekly
