"Butch Cassidy's notorious Wild Bunch was the last of the great robber bands that pistol-whipped the West from the wilds of Montana to the Mexican border. Even its mortal enemy, the Pinkerton Detective Agency, acknowledged that hell-raising gang of long-riders as men 'who'd rather fight than eat.' It was a war to the death between the Wild Bunch and the Tin Stars, and when the gunsmoke had vanished, so had the Wild Bunch, yet epic tales of these free-booters of the saddle remain--the cool and humorously calculating Cassidy, the hot-headed Sundance, and that 'trapper of posses' the Tiger of the Wild Bunch, Harvey Logan, alias Kid Curry. Told in the first-person, this well-researched book takes Kid Curry from his shoot-out with Deputy United States Marshal Pike Landusky to Hole in the Wall and a decisive meeting with Butch Cassidy. It follows him through the escapades of the gang to the fateful shoot-out at Divide Creek, Colorado, in June of 1904. Some say Kid Curry met his end at Divide Creek, but this novel presents strong evidence that he did not." -- Provided by publisher
