The goal of author Mark T. Smokov in “He Rode with Butch and Sundance” is to separate facts from myths by examining the “Kid Curry” historical sources. The book explores Logan’s days in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’s infamous Wild Bunch and his association with the Ketchum gang. Smokov traces the Logan family history, and how the brothers turned to a life outside of the law.
The author opens the Pinkerton files, and reveals the information the famous detective agency had collected on his gang, and their subsequent searches for the robbers. Smokov also discusses the ill-fated “Fort Worth Five” photograph, and how it benefited investigators. Forget the dime novels, this is true history of the old west. Additionally, the author explores the many rumors and Wild Bunch folk lore.
Was “Kid Curry” the Wild Bunch mastermind?
