Butch Cassidy-Legend of the West

Can you imagine how come a nice and intelligent boy, beloved by all around him, became a criminal thief of banks and trains? This is a really good book which tells us a biography of Robert Leroy,nicknamed by his friends as Butch Cassidy, born on April 13, 1866, who lived his youth in a small town called Utah. He was a very smart guy but had bad influences from his friends, developing his reputation for a criminal activity. Butch Cassidy and his five friends spent years traveling throughout Bolivia, Argentina, and Brazil robberying banks and escaping from detectives who tried to stop them from life of crime. During your reading you will see how Cassidy joins with his gang, uses their intelligence to make strategies to rob banks and has never been caught by the police. Butch Cassidy devoted his years to a life of crime that hurt other people physically, emotionally, and finacially. He was feared by many people who heard about his robberies, although he never tried to kill anybody. Cassidy's story stayed in the memory of many from 1866 to 1937, and he might stay in yours if you start to read this book.
