There are the \"star\" residents like gregarious Butch Cassidy and his mostly silent sidekick the Sundance Kid, and an array of fascinating supporting players like the cold-blooded Kid Curry, and \"Black Jack\" Ketchum (who had the dubious distinction of being decapitated during a hanging), among others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Most of the hard-riding action takes place in the mid- to late-1890s when Bandit Heaven came to be one of the few safe places left as the law closed in on the dwindling number of active outlaws. Most were dead by the beginning of the 20th century, gunned down by a galvanized law-enforcement system seeking rewards and glory. Ultimately, only Cassidy and Sundance escaped . . . to meet their fate 6000 miles away, becoming legends when they died in a fusillade of lead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBandit Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling read, filled with action, indelible characters, and some poignance for the true end of the Wild West outlaw.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTOM CLAVIN is a #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author and has worked as a newspaper editor, magazine writer, TV and radio commentator, and a reporter for\u003ci\u003e The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.
