Titre: Butch Cassidy, American Wild West Outlaw
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
Photograph taken at the Wyoming State Penitentiary and mounted on a card from Pinkerton's National Detective Agency with information about Parker, 1893. Robert Leroy Parker AKA Butch Cassidy (April 13, 1866 - November 7, 1908) was a notorious American train robber, bank robber, and leader of the Wild Bunch gang. The Wild Bunch was one of the loosely organized outlaw gangs operating out of the Hole-in-the-Wall in Wyoming. The gang included his closest friend Elzy Lay, the Sundance Kid, Tall Texan, News Carver, Deaf Charlie Hanks, Laura Bullion, Flat-Nose Curry, Kid Curry and Bob Meeks. They would become the most successful train robbing gang in history. Most who knew him described Butch Cassidy as an agreeable fellow with a sense of humor, generous with his associates, and quick to make friends with children. He liked the ladies, and many apparently returned his affections. There is no documentation that he ever killed anyone. After pursuing a career in crime for several years, the pressures of being pursued, notably by the Pinkerton detective agency, forced him to flee with the Sundance Kid, and the Kid's girlfriend, Etta Place. The trio fled first to Argentina and then to Bolivia, where Butch and Sundance were assumed killed in a shootout in November 1908.
