Harry Longabaugh

From Free net encyclopedia

Image:EttaPlace.jpgHarry Alonzo Longabaugh (1867 - c. November 1908?), sometimes spelled Longbaugh, also known as the Sundance Kid, was an outlaw and member of Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch, in the American Wild West. He is considered the last of the great American "Old West" gunmen. On February 20, 1901, he sailed with Butch Cassidy and Etta Place, aboard the British ship Herminius for Buenos Aires in Argentina. It is generally believed that Butch and Sundance were killed by soldiers in Bolivia in November 1908, but there is some evidence to suggest that they returned to the United States, with Sundance dying in 1936.

He was popularly portrayed by Robert Redford in the 1969 revisionist film version of his story, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
