Were These Morgans Part Of Butch Cassidy’s First Robbery?

Robert LeRoy Parker, better known as “Butch Cassidy, partnered with Harry Longabaugh, nicknamed the “Sundance Kid,” to rob banks and trains in the early 1900s as leaders of the outlaw gang known as the “Wild Bunch.” Their exploits inspired one of the most famous endings in film history when the duo played by Paul Newman and Robert Redford charge out of a South American office building, guns blazing, directly into a hail of bullets from massed troops.

Hey, Butch…. Where’d You Stash The Loot?

The first bank job Butch pulled took place on June 24, 1889, when he robbed the San Miguel Valley Bank in Telluride, Colorado. Along with Tom McCarthy and Matt Warner racing up and down the street with pistols blazing to keep bystanders out of the way, he stole more than $24,000. A posse was quickly formed but Butch and his pals escaped on fresh horses. To this day the money has never been recovered.
