Though most people associate outlaw Butch Cassidy with Paul Newman's performance in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Leerhsen...offers a fuller portrait in this entertaining biography of an American legend.
A quirky subgenre of narrative history has emerged in recent years that explores the lives of iconic heroes of Hollywood westerns. A good example is Charles Leerhsen’s worthy biography.
Mr. Leerhsen himself drinks deeply from the watering hole of myth.
If you are searching for a nonfiction, historical study that romanticizes the Old West (U.S.), do not look here. But if you are looking for a Western tale that gets down into the nitty-gritty of late 19th and early 20th centuries, look no further.
Biographer Leerhsen...delivers a lyrical and deeply researched portrait.
A lively, necessarily speculative biography of the notorious desperado.
