Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and the lady horseback outlaw, Etta Place, are three of the west’s most controversial and enigmatic characters. These three popular anti-heroes, who robbed banks, trains, and payrolls for decades, have been the subject of numerous books, articles, debates, and motion pictures over a period of many years; yet interest in their stories never wanes. The current legend maintains that Etta Place simply disappeared from the pages of history in 1907, and that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were killed in a desperate shootout at San Vicente, Bolivia in 1908. Virtually every history ever written about the daring trio ends at that point. Yet, all three of these characters survived the purge of history to go on to lead even more extraordinary lives. Our books tell the story of each of their “lives, deaths, and resurrections”, so to speak. These three separate biographies are the culmination of more than 60 years of research and brings together previously unpublished information and original never-before-seen photographs. Author Kerry Ross Boren’s maternal grandfather, Willard Schofield, was Butch Cassidy’s distant cousin. Butch Cassidy’s true name was Robert Leroy Parker. The Parker and Schofield families immigrated together from England to Utah as converts to the Mormon Church. Kerry’s paternal grandfather, William Coleman Boren, was a little known member of the Wild Bunch, having participated in several robberies with Butch Cassidy. William Boren married Lovina Jones who was Butch Cassidy’s foster sister. (see “Inlaws & Outlaws” article for more information). Moreover, Kerry has known intimately the families of many of the characters he writes about, including Lula Parker Betenson (sister of Butch Cassidy), Boyo and Joyce Warner (children of Matt Warner), Marvel Lay Murdock (daughter of Elza Lay), and many others. He brings their first hand accounts to the pages of the books. If you thought you knew the history of Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and Etta Place, these three biographies will forever change your mind!!!
