Doug Lowe

Like Butch Cassidy, I am a Utah native who eventually escaped to Bolivia--though I was there more briefly than he. And, I didn't commit any crimes (at least no major ones) while there. And, like Butch, I was a good Mormon boy who went bad. My guidebook, Butch & Sundance Sightseeing in Utah & Neighboring States, presents the results of more than 12 years of on-and-off research and writing. A companion volume, with Butch & Sundance sites in Bolivia (and neighboring South American Countries) is now in the works.
