Butch Cassidy, American outlaw, 1894-1896 (1954). Born Robert Leroy Parker in Beaver, Utah, in 1866, Butch Cassidy was a notorious train robber, bank robber and leader of a gang known as the Wild Bunch. He was also part of the loose affiliation of outlaw groups based at Hole-in-the-Wall Pass in Wyoming that became known as the Hole in the Wall Gang. He is said to have been killed, along with fellow outlaw Harry Longabaugh (the Sundance Kid) by Bolivian police in 1908 after robbing a mule train carrying a silver mine payroll.
