Wyoming’s Outlaw Trail (Images of America)

Description

A historic and folkloric path that meandered from Canada to Mexico, the Outlaw Trail was once utilized by outlaws such as Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and the James brothers. Following existing Western routes such as the Oregon Trail, the highway connected towns and natural hideouts very important for bandits escaping the law. Some in Western communities were sympathetic toward the outlaws. Many, like Cassidy, were seen as Robin Hoods, fighting for common individuals who were under siege by economic forces, corporate encroachment, and other changes occurring within the Old West. Images of The united states: Wyoming�s Outlaw Trail details the history, folklore, and geography in the back of a few of Wyoming�s outlaw towns and hideouts�chief among them the Hole within the Wall and Red Desert. Also highlighted are the deeds of the robbers, lawmen, and atypical folk who rode those dusty trails all the way through the late 1800s and early 1900s.
