Space may be the ultimate frontier, but no frontier has ever before captured the American imagination like the Crazy Western world, which still evokes images of dusty cowboys, outlaws, gunfights, gamblers, and barroom brawls over 100 years after the Western world was settled. A regular fixture in American pop culture, the 19th century American West continues to be vividly and colorfully portrayed not simply as a place but as circumstances of head. In Charles River Editors' Legends of the Western world series, listeners can get swept up to speed on the lives of America's most famous frontier figures in enough time it takes to complete a commute, while learning interesting facts long ignored or never known. The Wild Western world has made legends out of several men through the embellishment with their reviews, such as crediting Billy a child and Wild Costs Hickok for eliminating far more people than they actually did. But it has also made icons out of outlaws like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Youngster predicated on the secret and uncertainty bordering their crimes and deaths, allowing speculation and tale to complete the gaps. Alongside Jesse James, Robert LeRoy Parker is becoming kept in mind as Butch Cassidy, one of the most notorious outlaws of the western world. Though he's commonly from the Sundance Youngster, the duo possessed a full-fledged gang known as the Crazy Bunch conducting robberies in the Southwest, and they became legendary for his or her shootouts and their escapes from the law. Eventually, Butch Cassidy and his most famous acquaintance fled as far east as New York City and as far south as Argentina. In fact, it was at SOUTH USA that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Youngster are thought to have satisfied their ultimate fate, in another shootout with Bolivian soldiers. The secret and controversy bordering that shootout (and whether the two bandits were actually them) have helped ensure their put in place European lore, and as with so many other legends of the Western world, people continue steadily to speculate that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Youngster survived and resided out the others with their lives.
