History: Butch Cassidy, America's Most Legendary Escape Artist.
Outlaw and cowboy, Butch Cassidy was not only one of the Old West's most notorious bank robbers and horseman, he was considered by many to be the United States Robin Hood. His hoaxes and deceptions are world-reknowned.
The elusive Robert LeRoy Parker, AKA Butch Cassidy, began his bandit career in Utah, then migrated to Colorado, to escape the long-arm of the law. It is in Telluride, Colorado, where Butch Cassidy's bank robbing career started. This book focuses on his beginning years, when he really noticed the huge difference between the rich and poor....Like Robin Hood, prince of thieves, Butch started his grand schemes and, primarily, the Rocky Mountain West, was his and the Wild Bunch's Sherlock Forest.......
Daredevil stuntman, supreme horseman, leader of the Wild Bunch & Hole In The Wall gangs, Butch Cassidy, is the Wild West's most notorious outlaw. He was a master of deception and America’s greatest escape artist. Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Kid Curry and a wide array of other gangsters eluded the law for years....crazymakers, who orchestrated vanishing acts like no others in history.
The elusive Mr. Robert LeRoy Parker fled Utah after rustling horses and cattle. He headed for Telluride, Colorado, where gold and silver was coming out of them there hills like gangbusters. In Telluride, he worked as a muleskinner, one of the most dangerous jobs in mining history. On weekends, he raced horses, making him a small fortune. He was also a broncobuster, cowpuncher and an ingenious bank and train robber plotter.
Cassidy’s charm and leadership skills enabled him to form several groups of outlaws who eluded the Pinkerton Detective Agency for years. Stealing from bank and train barons, and giving remarkable amounts to those in need, earned Cassidy the reputation of being the Robin Hood of the Wild West. He was a great equalizer who liked to distribute the wealth.
The country's most infamous outlaw was a long rider considered to be one of the best horsemen in the West. Effectively, he was a horse whisper. His horses would come to a whistle, laydown on their sides and hide in the sage brush, run into canyons and circle back to get him after misleading posses. Interestingly, Cassidy would put horse shoes on backwards to set off the lawmen. If not for his supreme horsemanship, Cassidy could not have eluded the law year after year. Being extremely skilled in the art of deception and espionage techniques, Cassidy's unprecedented looting career would not have become on one of America's most enduring and mysterious legends.
