An Outlaw Thanksgiving

Read the most by: boys and girls

Caldecott Medalist Emily Arnold McCully's delightful new story is based on a real Thanksgiving banquet given in Brown's Hole, Utah, in the 1890's by Butch Cassidy and his gang. In November 1896, Clara Maher and her mother are traveling by train across the United States when snow blocks the tracks in Wyoming. A fellow passenger invites them to celebrate Thanksgiving with his friends in Utah -- but Clara is shocked to discover that the glorious feast's host is Butch Cassidy, the most notorious outlaw of all! An Outlaw Thanksgiving provides an enthralling look at the Wild West as it reminds us that hospitality can be found in the most unexpected places.
