The Counterfeit Cassidys

Claims that Butch Cassidy the Sundance Kid and Ethel Etta Place returned from South America have been circulating for many years. Some authors reject the argument that the two outlaws were killed in San Vicente Bolivia on the night of 6-7 November 1908 asserting that the evidence that the two men were Butch and Sundance is not robust. But others argue that specific named individuals were Butch Sundance and Ethel who lived out their lives in the United States. Do any of these specific claims stand up to scrutiny? In this Special Publication for the 70th Anniversary of the English Westerners' Society Mike Bell tests the evidence and gives you his conclusions. But ultimately you the reader will decide if the evidence supports the arguments that they returned.
