5 Crazy True Stories: Wild West Heroes

By C. Jasen McEndree

THEY BECAME LEGENDS. BUT THE STORIES YOU KNOW AREN'T THE WHOLE STORY.

Billy the Kid. Butch Cassidy. The Wild West produced some of the most famous names in American history, but behind the legends were strange escapes, unlikely acts of courage, bizarre twists of fate, and little-known adventures that rarely make it into the usual Western history books.

5 Crazy True Stories: Wild West Heroes goes beyond the familiar myths to uncover five remarkable true stories involving some of the West's most recognizable legends and other fascinating figures from the frontier.

You may know their names.

You may know the legends.

But you probably don't know these stories.

Inside, you'll discover:

A different side of Billy the Kid, including a remarkable episode that reveals just how complicated the Kid's legend really was.

A little-known chapter of Butch Cassidy's story, showing the man behind the famous outlaw reputation and the extraordinary circumstances surrounding his life.

Other legendary figures of the Old West whose real adventures were every bit as strange as the stories later told about them.

These aren't polished Hollywood Westerns. They're stories of real people living in a violent, unpredictable, rapidly changing American frontier, where a decision made in seconds could change everything.

Some were outlaws.

Some were heroes.

Some were both, depending on who was telling the story.

And some simply found themselves in situations so unbelievable that they sound like fiction.

Every story in 5 Crazy True Stories: Wild West Heroes comes from the real history of the American frontier, where truth often turns out to be considerably crazier than the legend.

Five true stories. Five unforgettable adventures. One Wild West you haven't heard quite like this before.
