"An entertaining story with lots of plot twists." --Booklist

The Greatest Western Writer Of The 21st Century

In a small Texas town in 1950, a Pinkerton detective interrupts an old-timer's game of dominos to learn the truth about Butch Cassidy--who is still very much alive and well. In fact, he's the old-timer playing dominos.

Seems that after surviving the infamous shootout in Bolivia that claimed the life of his partner the Sundance Kid, Butch returns to Texas searching for a place to call home. When he comes across a dying rancher who'd been shot by some rustlers, Butch promises to avenge him--and take over the ranch after his death. Assuming the name Jim Strickland, Butch begins a new chapter in his life. But trouble has a way of finding Butch. A corrupt railroad baron pulls him into the most dangerous train robbery he's ever attempted. But if Butch Cassidy is going to ride again, it'll have to be with a newer, and wilder, Wild Bunch.  .  .

"Johnstone is a masterful storyteller, creating a tale that is fanciful and funny, exciting and surprisingly convincing.  .  .great fun." --Publishers Weekly

I all but devoured this book it was so good. From the first page that sucks you in to the very last page that leaves you wanting more, you are fully immersed in Butch Cassidy's world. All the characters well written and very likable. Do you want Jim Strickland to be Butch Cassidy.....Yes. Do you want book 2 of The Lost Years.....Yes. Is this your typical western.....No it's better. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beginning A Terrific New Series
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2013

A novel, apparently the beginning of a new series, which presupposes that story that Butch Cassidy survived the Bolivian army and lived out his days until he died of old age.

Opening in 1950, we get a young man talking to an eight-five year old he believes to be Butch and the old man telling a "tale" of Butch becoming a rancher in Texas, bur gradually being drawn back into the outlaw world by greedy railroad executives who wronged the mother of one of his hands, a widow whose husband died in an "accident" in the rail yard, then using a forged document that claimed he'd borrowed against his pension, leaving nothing.

Quite engaging western of a new "Robin Hood" in Texas.

The ending seems set-up for more books. Hope so.

Enjoyed this one.

This is a well written narrative of the possibility that Butch Cassidy escaped death in So. America and lived out his remaining years in the west. It really could have happened the way Johnstone portrays, and we really want to believe it did. I enjoyed the read and can readily tell Wm. is making good progress on the narrative in his books by reaching the happy medium, not too much, but keeping the reader in the story. Gave it four stars because I liked the story! Glenn Luttrell

Just as anyone would expect the amazingly talented duo of William W. Johnstone and his equally talented nephew J.A. Johnstone once again deliver all of the goods. If you're looking for the best in western/action literature you've come to the right place.

Just finished reading Butch Cassidy The Lost Years. I'm not a big fan of westerns but I love the character of Butch Cassidy, especially the fact that he went to South America.
I guess the story was ok but to be honest I wish it was a bit more exciting. Until about half way through nothing much happened and then it was sort of alright.
If you want to read an excellent novel about Butch, read South of the Border by John Byrne Cooke. It came out in 1989 but it's a lot more gripping than this one.
Or watch the movie Blackthorn with Sam Shepard about an older Butch that remained in Bolivia. I actually think that J. A. Johnstone wrote this book after watching that movie since it came out only a couple of years prior to this.
