PROJECTS
CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS!!!
After more than 2 years of steady work compiling the complete life histories of
Butch Cassidy, The Sundance Kid, and Etta Place, the book has been slightly delayed.
In its stead please watch for a new book on Harvey Logan, a.k.a. Kid Curry!
Harvey Logan, alias Kid Curry, has been called the “meanest and most dangerous outlaw” in the history of the Old West. His favorite expression was “kill the gawd-damned lawdogs and bastard politicians!” He did just that. He is believed to have killed more men, most of them lawmen, than any other western desperado. Pinkerton Detective Agency, who hunted him relentlessly and unsuccessfully, said he had not “one redeeming feature.” He was one of the fastest gunmen in the West and his amazing life story, never before adequately told, makes fascinating reading for students of the Wild West and lovers of adventure. This book reveals what finally became of Kid Curry, together with new information on his origin and history from members of his family. The Dime Novel Kid: The Story of Harvey Logan , Alias Kid Curry. Tentative publication 2001.
There seems to be a growing interest in the Lost Rhoades Mines and we receive almost daily inquiries. Recent new information has inspired yet another work regarding the mines (our third book on the subject), and will be co-authored with Randy Lewis, great-grandson of F.W.C. Hathenbruck. This time there will be almost entirely new information based upon the perspective of F.W.C. Hathenbruck, partner of Caleb Rhoades, and the only man other than Rhoades himself to know the location of the famous mines. Hathenbruck was a fascinating character in his own right, with many secrets of his own. His life story, virtually unknown until now, is the stuff legends are made of. Tentative publication 2001/2002.
Three
of Western history’s most enigmatic and controversial characters, Butch
Cassidy, The Sundance Kid, and the lady horseback outlaw Etta
Place. These three popular anti-heroes, who robbed banks,
trains, and payroll for decades, have been the subject of numerous books, articles, debates, and motion
pictures over a period of many years; yet interest never wanes. The current legend maintains that Etta Place
simply disappeared from the pages of history just prior to 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. Our book tells the story of their “life after death”, so to
speak. This work will be the culmination of more than 45 years of
research and brings together previously unpublished information and original never-been-seen photographs.
Kerry’s maternal grandfather, Willard Schofield, was Butch Cassidy’s distant cousin. The Parker (Butch
Cassidy’s real name: Robert LeRoy Parker) and Schofield families came 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. (Please click on the article below titled: In-laws
& Outlaws for more information). If you thought you knew the history of Butch Cassidy, The
Sundance Kid, and Etta Place, this book may forever change your mind!!! Tentative publication 2002/2003.
