" The Last Outlaws is extremely well-written and feels more like a novel or work of fiction compared to a factual biography. It's a must read for any fan of the Old West and the outlaw life." - The Desert News "In this dual biography of celebrated bandits, a specialist in the Old West deftly separates fact from fiction." - Kirkus , " The Last Outlaws is extremely well-written and feels more like a novel or work of fiction compared to a factual biography. It's a must read for any fan of the Old West and the outlaw life." - The Desert News "In this dual biography of celebrated bandits, a specialist in the Old West deftly separates fact from fiction." - Kirkus Reviews "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 "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…. Writing about two of history's biggest outlaws is no small order. But Hatch does so beautifully, creating a vivid image of who these men truly were and what motivated them… Hatch is a skilled and veteran historical writer and his expertise shines through in his latest work." -LatinosPost.com, " 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 "Fans of Old West lore will find The Last Outlaws an absorbing and entertaining read." - USA Today " The Last Outlaws is extremely well-written and feels more like a novel or work of fiction compared to a factual biography.

Synopsis
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid planned and executed the most daring robberies of the Old West, targeting banks, railroads and mines. As the sun rose on the twentieth century, they could not outrun the rapid growth of new technology and sprawling cities that altered the landscape and their very way of life. With high prices on their heads, Butch and Sundance fled to South America, where they supposedly met their deaths in a blaze of glory. This biography traces the lives and mysterious deaths of two Wild West icons who defied a nation., 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."
