Butch Cassidy Watch Out
Hank Hayes was the leader of a band of outlaws hidden away in a deep, dark canyon. Jim Wall is the stranger who had lived on both sides of the law, and didn't care which one. When Helen Herrick is taken prisoner by Hayes, Wall has had enough and decides to do the "right thing" and save her if he can. Yet he knows that might be impossible considering where he is and with whom he is associated. Although dismissed by most critics as typical Zane Grey "drivel", it fills the bill for me because it offers true escapism that a lover of traditional westerns expects--fist fights, gun battles, fast horses, startling landscape and romance. Yes, the plot may seem trite and conventional by today's standard, but Zane Grey knew how to tell a story and keep you turning the page.
