Butch Cassidy's Hide out! Real Place, real signature

[@marktaylor9145]

Butch Cassidy and Billy Bonney are my two favorite so thank you for sharing 🙏 😊 ❤

[@usmcmustang2972]

The same type of writing is in the cache canyon north of Egnar, CO ... down off the Slick Rock. I found it once while gathering stray cattle.. A whole group of names, from men who had camped there amongst the cedars and red rock caves ... perfect place to hide from the whole world .. writings are from J.W. CROWLEY (also found in Rabbig Valley Utah), BLACK SAM (also found in the Book Cliffs in several places), B CASADY (also found down in Cahone and Dove Creek) C W TONSEND and T R MCGREADE (cpl us cavalry) .... The best part about finding these places, is just knowing that I have been able to live just like they did ..... on horseback and free.

[@ShalliniSheeran]

I have been to this location many times and is one of my favorite areas to camp and ATV. I just finished watching a documentary on PBS and one of the newspapers had his name spelled Cassady. His mother home schooled the kids and taught them how to read and write. Talking to some of the old timers in that area, they claim that a heavy rain storm happened and they took shelter. That spot would have had a flash flood going through there. Cassidy was in the higher section but would not have gotten out until the water level decreased. I have camped in that area when it rains and you can't imagine how many stream beds all of a sudden appear. We were stranded for four days and were very limited as to where we could ATV. I just happen to pick the right spot for the trailers and tents, so we didn't get flooded. The first morning, drove south east on the ATVS and when we returned we weren't able to get back to our campsite which was only 1/4 of a mile away, in sight of us. We had to drive another 32 miles going a different direction. We still had to cross more creeks full of water. The folks that camped with us were so relieved that we knew our roads well since we had been in that area at least 8 other times but never with rainy conditions. You can watch the PBS documentary for yourself at 27:05: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ68cqCOrqqZoac

That name was a alias name don’t forget so he probably didn’t care and spelled it like he wanted , great find , you know people always trying to shoot a hole in things and no proof it is or isn’t real so chill out , thank you for taking us there and showing it to us .

He worked as a butcher for a while and picked up the nickname Butch. While still young he worked with a rancher named Mike Cassidy. He learned under him and admired Mike.Thus he combined both and history was made.

[@garyhorsfield442]

Glad he didn't work as a tailor

Not much changed. Butch could ride his horse in there today and feel right at home almost like he never left.

I wish up on the Cross ranch with Abby Cross one time and he showed me a lot of very historical things in that area one of them was that Abby was living in a Thai hack shack which was built by the people that got the railroad ties yeah that's how to sign that says caution this out house shoots back you showed me a book about Butch Cassidy and Sundance the whole wild bunch then we went down to the main house sat on the porch for a while then he handed me the book and told me to walk out and look at this picture in the back and look back at the front porch yeah it was the same front porch that man Abby Cross good friend of mine rest in peace Abby

[@johnposey1455]

Would you be willing to show it to me if I made my way down there? I knew very little about him until I came across a woman in south Utah who said her distant relative was a member of his Wild Bunch, and took me to the jail they held him in; The town cop loved him and would basically store him there until trouble blew over. Also beautiful rocks, I’ve found loads of agate in places like this!

Thank you for sharing

[@greasy7494]

7:10 is the signature. You're welcome!

[@azindependentsrt5721]

Any random person could have written it, especially since it was not spelled correctly. But not being able to write your signature was common for a lot of folks back then, and it is possible that it could be genuine as well. Many even sighed with an X.

[@gabem6362]

Thanks rocky ..love rocks to man

There’s a plaque in front of a former bank in Red Lodge, MT that commemorates the day in 1901 or 02 when Butch and his gang robbed it.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

There ,you go again, questioning that there was NO water ergo not a true hide out.

[@normanriggs848]

I can see how this would be a tough place to get to but it certainly, looking at this video, looks like an almost impossible place to hide in! Assuming the posse got close to the right area.

Thank you for sharing Rocky. I always wondered how Robert Leroy Parker got the name Butch Casady. Other outlaws' name origins as well for that matter.

[@howardsmith9342]

There's a story about that, although I can't vouch for it. As a kid Butch worked for a butcher (imagine that), and at one point he met a cowboy on the shady side of the law named Mike Cassidy. When Butch needed a new name, there it was.

[@howardsmith9342]

I doubt if butch Cassidy would misspell his name?

[@andrewzeiler3445]

I saw a tree on Thousand Lake Mt. a bit west of the northern end of Capitol Reef with his name carved in it spelled the same way. It was obviously carved in that tree a very long time ago. Someone more recently (but still a while ago) carved a second "S" a bit above the original one. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if Butch carved his name there as well. I'm not sure where the location in this video is (obviously) but I'd guess it's not too far from Robber's Roost. I'd be willing to guess the tree I saw is no more than 40 miles away.

[@MrBaloojake]

My grandpa took me to that place I think is it near cedar mountin

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

If you could take Butch back there today he would probably recognize the place. I doubt that it's changed that much.

[@Gail-gf7km]

Unless there is a water source nearby he did not spend much time there. Horses and people need water, and I don’t see anywhere close by that would provide 10 gallons per horse per day.
