Wow...I just celebrated 14 years of sobriety on 25Dec. My life before becoming sober, for good, was very much like Dick Fellow's "Dr. Jeckel Mr. Hyde" life. Had I not found Alcoholic Anonymous I would have went the way he did too. So sad that, even after AA has been around, there are still those out there that cannot or will not stay sober. I feel blessed I did. Thank you for this story, as a native Californian (and recovered Alcoholic) I had never heard this man's story.

I've lived in a town where the kids gathered "at the four-way" on Saturday night, and towns where the kids turned out headlights when they drove to a barn somewhere so the Sheriff wouldn't hassle them. They say the only thing to do in such places late-night on Saturdays was to drink and die.

Having grown up in the old Cowtown of Lemmon SD, I have a soft spot in my heart for the old badmen of the early days. Dad was born in 1910 and was familiar with some of the criminals who terrorized the Midwest in the 30's in fact he knew some of them on a first name basis having met the through the bootleggers of that time and used to regal me with tales of shared adventures. History has always been a favorite topic of mine and I do have a quite a collection of old books on the subject that I have worn thin by reading and re-reading. Dad was the same, but he loved to old magazines and always had several on is end table, many from the Old West, and more modern detective magazines that were popular before television glommed onto our brains and destroyed the desire to learn from the written word. Thank you so much for this series, I keeps me searching for even more history that is worth remembering.

My dad dated a lady who told a tale of growing up in her ancestral Missouri village. As a girl, she reported, there was an old man everyone called "Uncle Jesse." On his deathbed Uncle Jesse told a man to go to a certain cave for a "big surprise" and look for a small cairn formation of stacked rocks. The search party found a box of debtor's notes from an old bank, gun belts and jackets. It's speculated the belts and box were discarded by the bandits who had to leave the bulky items behind in order to maneuver the snaking path to the back door of the cave network, as the entrance had a posse and Sheriff pointing guns therein. So begins the "Tale of Uncle Jesse"... A true story, actually!

As a young boy, I was introduced to Lula Parker Betenson, the youngest sister of Robert Leroy Parker (Butch), by my father. He grew up in Circle valley, Utah, and knew the family. My great grandfather knew Robert and had a few stories about him. There are many credible sightings and encounters of "Butch", after he was supposedly killed in South America. I have talked with a few of the people, and they all said Robert was just happy that there was so much confusion about him. In the last few years, some of the remaining family descendants have opened up a bit about some of the previously hushed stories concerning his final resting place. I personally think Ol' Butch is rather tickled that we're still talking about him 100 years later.🙂

My family had problems with Pinkerton Detective Agency themselves long time ago really just paid thugs & outlaws all they was I personally feel. How Pinkerton got his famous name now even getting in huge question if it was a set-up he involved in.

My father as a boy knew the Sundance Kid. He and Butch returned from South America. The deputy sheriff was Matt Warner my father's uncle, an ex member of the Wild Bunch. Butch is said to have been around and left for California or Montana, but we never heard from him again. Sundance lived to old age and didn't make anymore trouble. He was buried in the Price City Cemetery in an unmarked grave, or so I have been told. BTW Deputy Matt knew Sundance, they lived in the same small mining town. Deputy Matt looked the other way as he also did to the many brothels in town.

End of the trail searches don't necessarily mean that the person's trail actually ended, but it is pretty likely. Consider the possibility that it was Harry Logan (Kid Curry)and Harry Longabaugh (Sundance Kid) that robbed the mine payroll and got killed. You mentioned that someone had identified Logan down there at the time. And perhaps Butch had left South America when they fled Argentina. Ethyl (Etta) survived the wounds from the earlier robbery and tried to establish Longabaugh's death. Perhaps she remarried. Perhaps she went to San Francisco. Perhaps died there or in route. Her trail runs cold. Butch could have returned and exploited the belief of his demise by reinventing himself. Both his and Longabaugh's correspondence stopped, but Butch would have changed names. Good episodes all together. Thanks.

They found only one skeleton, but it was determined to be that of a 5'11" caucasian - there weren't many such in San Vicente at the turn of the century. The skull had a definite bullet wound in the forehead. Finally, they were able to retrieve a DNA sample from a tooth. A mitochondrial DNA test was done and compared with mDNA from descendants of both the Parker and Longabaugh families on the female line (which transmits mDNA). The dead man was not related to either family.

I grew up with westerns of the 60's and onward but being a history buff I spent time learning about the old west (I live in Kansas so much of it was a part of my state's history). I think I should have stayed ignorant because it wasn't like tv shows and movies, for the most part, which can make watching those same shows now a bit annoying. ie Matt Dillon walking around with his hand ready to draw when confronting trouble makers early on in Gunsmoke's early days. There were no fast-draw confrontations (that we know of) because people when fearful tended to have their gun already out and the basic truth was that even with a gun out most people aren't killers. Those kinds of people don't give you a chance and were just as likely to shoot you down whether you were looking or not. ie "Unforgiven". Nothing has really changed in that regard in today's world.

🎶 she tied me up with some rope and a lasso, wicked felina was actually Filipe when he dropped his drawers my tequila did hurl. 🎶. Gasping and gagging while crawling and begging please Mr Filipe just let me alone,. Laughing and grinning he started sinning ole wicked felina just gave me the bone. 🎶
