B' e Robert Leroy Parker an ainm baistidh aig Butch Cassidy agus chaidh a thogail ann an teaghlach cràbhaidh Mormonach bochd. Aig aois 13 fhuar e obair air rainse far an do choinnich e ri mèirleach chruidh, Mike Cassidy, a dh'ionnsaich gadachd dha.

Aig aois 18, bha fadachd air Parker a dhol a-mach air a cheann fhèin. Fhuair e obair anns na mèinnean, ach cha do chòrd an obair chruaidh ris. Shaoil e gum biodh e na b' fhasa am banca ionadail a chreachadh. Bha fios aige gum briseadh cridhe a mhàthair nan cluinneadh i gu robh e ri eucoir, 's thug e Butch Cassidy air fhèin. Cha b' fhada gus an do choinnich e ris an Sundance Kid agus thòisich iad air aon de na slighean eucoireach a b' fhaide ann an eachdraidh Ameireaga.

Lean Butch Cassidy, an Sundance Kid agus an Wild Bunch air na gnìomhan eucoireach aca gus an deach breith orra aig a' cheann thall ann an Ameireaga a Deas, a' cur crìoch air linn an Wild West.

Born Robert Leroy Parker, Butch Cassidy was raised a devout but poor Mormon. At age 13, he took a job at a nearby ranch and met a small-time cattle rustler named Mike Cassidy, who schooled Parker on the finer points of larceny.

By the time he was 18, Parker was itching to strike out on his own. He found work in the mines but quickly tired of the gruelling labour. Robbing the local bank seemed a much better bet. Knowing that hearing of the crime would break his mother's heart, Parker changed his name to Butch Cassidy. He was soon to meet his accomplice the Sundance Kid and together began one of
the longest periods of crime in American history.

Follow Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid and the Wild Bunch on their infamous escapades and to their final capture in South America, marking the end of an era and the end of the Wild West.
