Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Butch Cassidy and Harry Longabaugh, or Sundance Kid, were two notorious outlaws who terrorized the American west during the late Wild West Era. Cassidy helped form the Wild Bunch Gang. Born to a Mormon couple in Utah, Butch Cassidy was raised on a ranch and helped his family raise livestock. Leaving home in his teens, he worked odd jobs and fell in love with a girl named Mike Cassidy. He adopted the name "Butch" from his work as a butcher and the surname "Cassidy" from the girl he loved. He soon began a life of crime robbing small stores. Harry Longabaugh was a close associate of Cassidy who grew up in Pennsylvania. The two proceeded to raid trains and demand riders for their money and possessions. After countless robberies taking place on trains and banks, the law was soon after the two and they decided to make a break for South America. Their trip proved fatal, when in Bolivia the local army caught news that two American bandits were in their homeland. The army was dispatched and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were killed in a firefight.
