Editorial Reviews
Review
A great journey in the footsteps of truly extraordinary adventurers. –Bear Grylls
An adventure that suggest there’s still plenty of ‘wild’ left in the west. It’s exciting, uncomfortable, and unpredictable. –Wanderlust
The account of duplicating Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid makes a bumptious and entertaining adventure story. Not Paul Newman and Robert Redford but wonderful chroniclers of the sights, sounds, and feelings of that grand, harsh country. –Time Magazine
