This is an old Public domain photo that has been professionally restored and colorized of the famous Wild Bunch gang sitting for a group portrait in Fort Worth Texas in the year 1900. Butch Cassidy is the last guy and on the right and the Sundance Kid is the first guy sitting on the left.
The Wild Bunch was a loosely connected group of outlaws active in the American Southwest and Rocky Mountains in the 1890s, best known for train and bank robberies.
Their most famous members included Butch Cassidy (Robert LeRoy Parker), the Sundance Kid (Harry Longabaugh), and the Sundance Kid’s partner, Etta Place.
The name “Wild Bunch” wasn’t always used the same way — it described different outlaw teams over time; the best-known Wild Bunch is the Sundance–Butch Cassidy gang based in Wyoming.
Butch Cassidy favored planning and avoidance over violence; he often sought nonlethal approaches and tried to minimize bloodshed during robberies.
The gang pioneered using robberies of moving trains and well-coordinated escape tactics, like switching to fresh horses and using hideouts in remote ranch country.
Robberies were often followed by splitting up and using safe ranch hideouts called “hole-in-the-wall” or the “robbers’ roost” in Utah and Wyoming.
Several members reportedly fled to South America (mainly Argentina and Bolivia) around 1900–1901; reports differ on whether Butch and Sundance died there or returned to the U.S.
The exact number of the gang’s members varied over time; beyond the core duo, the group included associates like Harvey Logan (Kid Curry), Bob Meeks, and Elzy Lay.
The Wild Bunch’s exploits were heavily romanticized by newspapers and later films, contributing to their outlaw-hero
