The Real Butch Cassidy aka Robert LeRoy Parker was known as "Robin Hood of the Wild West".
He frequently gave money he had stolen to family's whose men were ruined or killed by
bankers or cattle barons. During the years of thievery, had not killed anyone.

He ran a group called the Wild Bunch where Harry
Longabaugh had met up with him. Longabaugh had
been arrested in Wyoming for stealing a horse and
was held in a jail in Sundance. It was because of
this that he picked up the name The Sundance Kid.
The Wild Bunch's hide out was in Hole in the Wall
near Kaycee, Wyoming.
Butch and Sundance were surrounded and killed in
Bolivia in 1909 after robbing a payroll shipment
from a mine or so one story goes. Another theory
is Butch was able to escape. Sundance had been
shot up so bad, Butch gave him a bullet in the brain then left and went straight after
that. He started a ranch in ?.
Butch Cassidy asking for a pardon
| 
Butch: "My time is three-fourths done, and a few more
months won't make much difference. I've got some
property in Colorado that needslooking after,
and I'd like to get a pardon."
Governer: "If it's your intention to go straight after
you get out, perhaps it could be arranged.
You're still young, and smart enough to make a
success in almost any line. Will you give me
your word that you will quit rustling."
Butch: "Can't do that, governor, because if I gave you
my word I'd only have to break it. I'm in too
deep now to quit the game. But I'll promise you
one thing, if you give me a pardon I'll not
commit any more crimes in Wyoming."
The Governer was impressed with Butch's straightforwardness and believe
what he said to be true. He was granted his pardon.
