I devoured the book Billy the Kid, Beyond the Grave and am concluding, albeit, reluctantly (because I hate to come to the end of a great book) Butch Cassidy, Beyond the Grave. The missives in these books are well-researched and each story crafted in a compelling manner. I am in awe of the way W.C. Jameson fearlessly encounters, engages and disarms the old patterns of staid beliefs. As he gives support for the other side, I found myself breathless and wondering…what the hell… why would he lay out the seeming conclusions of how many people think these men died and, more importantly, lived.

Butch Cassidy: Beyond the Grave
Did Butch Cassidy, noted outlaw of the American West, survive his alleged death at the hands of Bolivian soldiers in 1908 and return to friends and family in the United States? The evidence suggesting he did is impressive. Join us to learn the truth. Saturday November 17, 2012 2:00 PM Arboretum10000 Research Blvd #158, Austin, TX 78759, 512-418-8985 Purchase the book from Amazon Publishers Weekly Review Professional treasure hunter and author Jameson (Lost Treasures of American History) is dismissive of the “poor chronicling and unsubstantiated research” by outlaw history hobbyists. Outlaw history is not ranked high in academia, he notes, so Jameson sets out to separate fact from fiction. He traces Cassidy from his Utah boyhood to his criminal activities with the Wild Bunch and the Sundance Kid, noting erroneous perceptions generated by the popular 1969 film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Concluding chapters examine conflicting accounts of Cassidy’s “enigmatic and controversial” [...] Continue reading »
