Lawyer-turned-writer Anne Meadows and her husband, Daniel Buck, set out to solve the mystery of what really happened to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. With the tenacity of Pinkerton agents, the couple tracks the outlaws and the enigmatic Etta Place through South America, where they fled in 1901. In Digging Up Butch and Sundance, Meadows and Buck rove Argentine pampas, Chilean deserts, and Bolivian sierras; pore over faded newspapers and musty documents; exhume skeletons with forensic anthropologist Clyde Snow; and unearth eyewitness accounts of Butch and Sundance's final holdup and the Bolivian shootout.

While filling in the blanks in the Wild Bunch saga, Meadows explores the nature of truth and discovers how myths are made. The revised edition draws on recently discovered letters by the bandits and interviews by the Argentine police who investigated their activities. It also includes new information about William T. Phillips, who claimed to be Butch Cassidy.
