Butch Cassidy’s Gang and the Wilcox train robbery
$27.00
The Wild West easily could be described as lawless, untamed, and unpredictable. In 1899 near a place along the Union Pacific railroad named Wilcox became the site of a train robbery by members of Butch Cassidy’s gang. Wilcox was not a train station but a section house in which men lived with families whose job was to maintain the rail line. Both Wilcox and the robbery site were located in a sparsely populated area of Wyoming and not where some are told today by railroad officials.
