Book Synopsis
The mystery began simply enough with her identity. Who was she? As a young woman, she took the name, Place, from the maiden name of the mother of her lover, Harry Longabaugh (the Sundance Kid), and combined it with several first names, including Mrs. Ethel Place. The Pinkertons knew her as Ethel, Ethal, Eva, and Rita before finally settling on Etta for their wanted posters.After Sundance introduced her to Robert Parker (Butch Cassidy), the three joined the rest of their Wild Bunch gang and set off on a spree of bank, stagecoach, and train robberies. With the law hot on their heels, they rode up to Robber's Roost in southwestern Utah where they laid low until word reached local authorities of their whereabouts.On the run again, Place accompanied Longabaugh to New York City where they purchased a lapel watch and stickpin at Tiffany's before pausing to pose for the famed DeYoung portrait at a Union Square photo studio on Broadway. On February 20, 1901, she sailed with Butch and Sundance,
