Description

Fort Worth TX was a “rest” spot for the Wild Bunch, one of the man organized outlaw gangs operating out of the Hole in the Wall hideout in Wyoming during the Old West era. Led by Butch Cassidy (Robert Leroy Parker, on the right), the gang included Harry A Longabaugh (aka the Sundance Kid, on the left), Ben Kilpatrick (aka Tall Texan), Louis Carver (aka News Carver) and Harvey Logan (aka Kid Curry). Over the 10 years that the Wild Bunch robbed trains and banks, the cash stolen amounted to only about $200,000 (about $4 million today). After one of the gang’s crime sprees, the Wild Bunch came to Fort Worth’s downtown area known as Hell’s Half Acre for rest and relaxation. Here they posed for the famous picture on November 21, 1900. The photographer liked the picture so much that he posted a copy in his studio where it was spotted by a local law enforcement officer. It was used to create WANTED posters that ultimately led to the gang being identified and eventually either captured or killed. The bronze artwork depicts the famous photo.
