JWalkers Conner's video: What Happened to Butch Cassidy Part 1

Part 1 of the mystery of what happened to Butch Cassidy. Robert Parker was born in Beaver, Utah in 1866 at the same time Jesse James was leading his first bank raid. He took the name Butch Cassidy out of respect for a friend named Mike Cassidy, but he became one of the last truly notable outlaws to come out of the Old West. Abhoring the use of guns as a homicidal weapon, Butch was the grandson of a Mormon preacher, and in late 1901, he began a partnership with Harold "Sundance Kid" Longbaugh, robbing banks and trains, staying ahead of the Pinkerton detectives following him. While their exact fate is in doubt, history claims that they fled to Bolivia and died in a shoot-out with the police in the Bolivian village of San Vicente in 1908. However, reliable reports indicate that Butch returned to the Unted States and lived to a ripe old age. There are accounts of a figure who greatly resembled Butch visiting his sister up to eight years after he allegedly fell from a bullet.
