Description: "Bandit Invincible" for the first time reveals the human being behind the legend of Butch Cassidy, the man who is not known ever to have killed anyone. Yet he was believed to be the leader of the notorious Wild Bunch, also known as the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, the Rustlers of Robbers' Roost, and the Train Robbers Syndicate. Whatever they were called, this group consisted of the most violent and daring band in the history of frontier crime. From whence did this man who had been raised a Mormon draw the fortitude to face death repeatedly with equanimity? How was it that in all of his encounters he emerged a victor? Here the legend is brought to life, revealing the man who rode into the folklore of the frontier as the most beloved outlaw of the Old West.--Amazon.com.
