Publication: Bantam, 1989, New York

First edition. Two-tone cloth & boards, 324pp., illus., map. Western novel involving Charlie Siringo and his nemesis Butch Cassidy, set in the early 20th century. A novel predicated on the idea that many of the West's cowboys and outlaws headed toward California after the turn of the century, to find work with the fledgling motion-picture industry. Cooke theorized that Cassidy and Charles Siringo, an ex-Pinkerton detective who turned author, crossed paths in Hollywood, while making a movie about Old Mexico. Fine in dust jacket.
