He Rode with Butch and Sundance: The Story of Harvey “Kid Curry” Logan (A.C. Greene Series Book 13)

Charlie has been bored with what we’ve been studying and if you want to know the truth I am getting that way to. While we were in the Stockyards I found several books I want to purchase for Charlie and I to read.

I’m going to call Half Price Books and see if they have a copy of He Rode with Butch and Sundance: The Story of Harvey “Kid Curry” Logan (A.C. Greene Series Book 13) for mine and Charlie’s reading class.

I chose He Rode with Butch and Sundance: The Story of Harvey “Kid Curry” Logan for Charlie to read for his reading class and Charlie can do a report for History class.

David has always been fascinated with Cowboys and Indians David isn’t able to read I was thinking Charlie can read a chapter of He Rode with Butch and Sundance: The Story of Harvey “Kid Curry” Logan a night to David. Which may entice David to practice his reading. Or make Charlie a stronger reader.

If He Rode with Butch and Sundance: The Story of Harvey “Kid Curry” Logan is to hard for Charlie to read on his own I will be here and can help both Charlie and David out.

Pinned down by a posse, the wounded outlaw’s companions urged him to escape through the gulch. “Don’t wait for me,” he replied, “I’m all in and might as well end it right here.”

Placing his revolver to his right temple, he pulled the trigger for the last time, thus ending the life of the notorious “Kid Curry” of the Wild Bunch. It is long past time for the publication of a well-researched, definitive biography of the infamous western outlaw Harvey Alexander Logan, better known by his alias Kid Curry.

In Wyoming Kid Curry became involved in rustling and eventually graduated to bank and train robbing as a member—and soon leader—of the Wild Bunch.

The core members of the gang came to be Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, George “Flatnose” Currie, Elzy Lay, Ben “the Tall Texan” Kilpatrick, Will Carver, and Kid Curry.

Kid Curry has been portrayed as a cold-blooded killer, without any compassion or conscience and possessed of limited intelligence. Curry indeed was a dangerous man with a violent temperament, which was aggravated by alcoholic drink.

However, Smokov shows that Curry’s record of kills is highly exaggerated, and that he was not the blood-thirsty killer as many have claimed. Mark Smokov has researched extensively in areas significant to Curry’s story and corrects the many false statements that have been written about him in the past.

Curry was a cunning outlaw who planned and executed robberies on par with anything Butch Cassidy is reported to have pulled off. Smokov contends that Curry was the actual train robbing leader of the Wild Bunch—there is no concrete evidence that Cassidy ever robbed a train.

He also presents new evidence that is virtually conclusive in resolving whether or not Curry was the “unknown bandit” who was killed after robbing a train near Parachute, Colorado, in 1904.
