Sundance, Butch & Me tells the story of Etta Place-an outlaw woman whose original identity may never be known. She accompanied the leaders of the Wild Bunch as they ran rampant over the American West, traveled to New York City, and finally fled to South America. Judy Alter's storytelling and impeccable historical research bring the era of the old west to life while highlighting the life of Etta Place.
Judy Alter is the author of over a hundred books, fiction and nonfiction for both adults and young adults. Her awards include the 2005 Owen Wister Award for Lifetime Achievement, Spur Awards from Western Writers of America, the Western Heritage (Wrangler) Award from the National Cowboy Museum and Hall of Fame, and a Best Juvenile of the Year Award from the Texas Institute of Letters. She was named one of the Outstanding Women of Fort Worth by Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women in 1989 and was listed by Dallas Morning News (March 10, 1999) as one of 100 women, past and present, who made their mark on Texas. She has been inducted into the Western Writers of America Hall of Fame and the Texas Literary Hall of Fame. A native of Chicago, Alter has lived in Texas for over fifty years. She is the single parent of four now-grown children and the grandmother of seven. She lives in Fort Worth in a cottage Amazon.
...a realistic portrayal of historic events that touches the imagination and stirs the spirit. ...meticulously researched... a skillful first-person narrative.
