Etta Place: Riding into History with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Hardcover

Description:
Uncover the mystery of one of the Wild West’s most elusive figures in Etta Place: Riding into History with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid by D. J. Herda. Known to the Pinkertons by a string of aliases before they finally settled on “Etta” Place, she rode alongside Harry Longabaugh (the Sundance Kid) and Robert Parker (Butch Cassidy) during one of the most notorious outlaw eras in American history.

After joining the Wild Bunch, Etta became part of a daring spree of bank, stagecoach, and train robberies that spanned the American West and South America. With lawmen closing in, the trio fled from Utah’s Robbers Roost to New York City, eventually sailing to Buenos Aires under assumed identities. Life on the run led them across the Pampas and the Andes, but the promise of stability and ranch life proved fleeting.

Drawing from historical records and Pinkerton files, this compelling biography traces Etta Place’s journey from frontier outlaw companion to international fugitive, exploring her resilience, independence, and the unanswered questions that still surround her fate. Rich in Western history and outlaw lore, this hardcover edition is a must-read for fans of Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and the enduring legends of the American frontier.
