Changes: Butch Cassidy

Latest revision as of 17:32, 21 June 2018

Robert Leroy Parker (April 13, 1866 -1910), better known as Butch Cassidy was a notorious American train robber, bank robber, and leader of the Wild Bunch Gang in the American Old West.

After pursuing a career in crime for several years in the United States, the pressures of being pursued, notably by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, forced him to flee with an accomplice, Harry Alonzo Longabaugh, known as the Sundance Kid, and Longabaugh's girlfriend, Etta Place. The trio fled first to Argentina and then to Bolivia, where Parker and Longabaugh were probably killed in a shootout in November 1908.

-==History==
-===Claims of post-1908 survival===
-<p style="line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">However, there were claims, such as by Cassidy's sister Lula Parker Betenson, that he returned alive to the United States and lived in anonymity for years. In her biography ''Butch Cassidy, My Brother'', Betenson cites several instances of people familiar with Cassidy who encountered him long after 1908, and she relates a detailed impromptu "family reunion" of Butch, their brother Mark, their father Maxi, and Lula, in 1925.</p>
-<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">In 1974 or 1975, Red Fenwick, a columnist at ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Denver_Post The Denver Post]'', told writer Ivan Goldman, then a reporter at the ''Post'', that he was acquainted with Cassidy's physician. Fenwick said she was a person of absolute integrity. She told Fenwick that she had continued to treat Cassidy for many years after he supposedly was killed in Bolivia.</p>
-<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">There is anecdotal and circumstantial evidence that Longabaugh also returned to the United States and died in 1936.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-12" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Cassidy#cite_note-12 [12]]</sup></p>
-<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">In his ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annals_of_the_Former_World Annals of the Former World]'', [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McPhee John McPhee] repeats a story told to geologist [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Love David Love] in the 1930s by Love's family doctor, Francis Smith, M.D., when Love was a doctoral student. Smith stated that he had just seen Cassidy who told him that his face had been altered by a surgeon in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris Paris], and that he showed Smith a repaired bullet wound that Smith recognized as work he had previously done on Cassidy.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-13" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Cassidy#cite_note-13 [13]]</sup></p>
-<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">In an interview with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josie_Bassett Josie Bassett], sister to Ann Bassett, in 1960, she claims that Cassidy came to visit her in the 1920s "after returning from South America" and that "Butch died in Johnnie, Nevada, about 15 years ago."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-14" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Cassidy#cite_note-14 [14]]</sup> Another interview with locals of Cassidy's hometown of Circleville, Utah also finds claims of Cassidy working in Nevada until his death.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-15" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Cassidy#cite_note-15 [15]]</sup></p>
-<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">Western historian [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Kelly_(historian) Charles Kelly] closed the chapter "Is Butch Cassidy Dead?" in his 1938 book, ''Outlaw Trail'', by observing that if Cassidy "is still alive, as these rumors claim, it seems exceedingly strange that he has not returned to Circleville, Utah, to visit his old father, Maximillian Parker, who died on July 28, 1938, at the age of 94 years." Kelly is thought to have interviewed Parker's father, but no known transcript of such an interview exists.</p>
-<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masonic_Lodge Masonic Lodge], in Spokane, Washington, claims to be Butch Cassidy's lodge. They claim he entered the lodge and was active until he died. He owned and operated The Phillips manufacturing company. In conversations with historians, this account is disputed, as he was never trained in machine work. Further, the claim cannot be backed up as the lodge had indicated the records were missing. This account was, however, used by his sister claiming him to be William Phillips.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Cassidy#cite_note-16 [16]]</sup></p>
