Butch Cassidy--The Last Bandit Revised Edition (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Many people embrace as truth the account of Butch Cassidy’s demise in a shootout in a small Bolivian village in 1908. However, many western historians as well as a number of Cassidy’s surviving family members believe his fate was nothing like what had been imagined. Butch Cassidy—The Last Bandit brings to life the counterclaim that the notorious outlaw survived the shootout, managing to make his way back to America and live the remainder of his life in relative obscurity in Spokane, Washington.Sweet Tater (Millie) Sullivan and her companion Walter Weatherly set out on a summer of sleuthing in 1930 Spokane. Their goal is to discover if the renowned outlaw Butch Cassidy is living in their town. Tater’s father Daniel Sullivan, a Union Pacific Railroad detective involved in an ongoing investigation of deadly train derailments, appears to have more than a passing interest in the man Tater and Walter think might be Cassidy. Despite her father’s warning that they are stepping into a world of treachery and deceit, Tater and Walter remain undaunted. Hattie Ordway, an exciting and adventurous young woman, comes into the Sullivan household to nurse Tater after she is injured in an accident in the treacherous Spokane River. Hattie brings remarkable changes to the lives of Tater and Daniel, helping them find what they’re both seeking. Reminiscent of To Kill a Mockingbird, this novel explores the value of friendship, loyalty, and trust—and how that loyalty and trust is continually tested and measured.
