Riding the Outlaw Trail by Simon Casson & Richard Adamson
Following in the Footsteps of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
In April 1999, the authors set off on a gruelling journey, on horseback, following the trail of the elusive and most successful outlaws of the Wild West - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - the last of the legendary outlaws, were captured on daguerreotype, romanced in fiction, and immortalised on film by Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Simon Casson sets out on horseback to retrace the real life footsteps of his boyhood heroes covering 2,000 miles of America's toughest and most treacherous terrain. Steeped in the lore of the Old West but lacking desert and mountain survival skills, Simon recruits ex-marine commando Richard Adamson. Together they grapple with hostile landscape, climatic extremes, vital supply shortages, and bigtime personality clashes. Battling from one outlaw hideout to another, following trails sometimes only accessible by horseback, they are constantly taxed to the limit. In this dramatic account of their adventure Simon and Richard also bring vividly to life the exciting and violent lives of the Wild Bunch 100 years ago, and give us a heart-warming picture of the rancher families who live and work this demanding land today. |
