Meet Me in Manhattan: Or, Once Upon a Time in the East in Bloomington, MN

MEET ME IN MANHATTAN revives the legend of Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and Miss Etta Place, as in the early years of the 20th Century they flee the fast-fading frontier with plans to relocate in Bolivia, pausing for two and a half weeks in New York. As an epic work of historical fiction, the novel expands their factual experiences with a sweeping pageant of the fascinating people living there at that significant juncture in time--moviemakers, suffragists, gangsters, lawmen, journalists, politicians, artists, entertainers, as well as many others--to create a mythic portrait of our nation even as timeworn traditions gradually gave way to a brave new world known as Modern Times.
