Fact or Fiction?
Butch Cassidy remains one of the most notorious outlaws of the American West. After his death in 1908 during a shootout in Bolivia his legend only grew. However after a rare book collector obtained a 200-page manuscript, 'Bandit Invincible: The Story of Butch Cassidy,' which dates to 1934, there was some doubt as to whether or not Butch died in Bolivia. Some people believe he faked his death and adopted the name William T. Phillips. From there he moved to Spokane and eventually died of old age as a machinist in 1937.
It is a controversial theory and one with rigorous debate on both sides. Join us as we explore the wild western town of Spokane and unravel the theory that maybe Butch Cassidy didn't perish in Bolivia, but actually wrote his own biography here in Washington State.
