The old west

A wonderful time in history.

Name:
Location: Hobbs, New Mexico, United States

I enjoy watching sunsets and sunrises. Thunderstorms are awesome. I love South Dakota! My favorite time in history is the old west but I like to read up on any history that catches my interest.

Robert Leroy Parker

Better known to us as Butch Cassidy. He was born in Utah and was the first of 13 kids. He robbed train and stole horses. His ranch in Dubois, Wyoming was close to his hole in the wall hideout. His second hideout, robber roost was located in Utah. Harry Alonzo Longabaugh, alias the Sundance kid, joined the gang around 1896. In 1899 they robbed a Union Pacific train and landed themselves right into the public eye. Pinkerton detectives Tom Horn and Charlie Siringo hunted the gang to no avail. Butch and Sundance made their way to Argentina after many years of stealing and robbing. Parker may have returned to America and lived out his life. There are no real proofs as to that.
