The Sundance Kid Died of Old Age in San Diego: The Diary of Etta Place

Readers of this Western novel will meet a flesh-and-blood Sundance Kid and the previously mysterious Etta Place during the dangers, thrills, and wanderings they experienced as well as the lifelong love they shared. From Old West days to post-WW II San Diego this novel follows Harry Longbaugh, The Sundance Kid, from childhood into old age. Etta Place, the Southern beauty who rode at his side, recounts their activities before they establish a livestock ranch in Argentina, their robbery spree in South America, and sidekick Butch Cassidy's leaving to roam alone. Etta relates how she and Sundance acquired guns and stole federal payrolls for rebel leader Emiliano Zapata during the Mexican Revolution and moved on to new adventures in wide-open Tijuana and nearby San Diego during Prohibition. This story is Etta's testimony and deposition that the shootout in which Sundance and Butch were alleged to have been killed never happened.
