RE: A Violent Wild Bunch Robbery While The Boys Are In Argentina

in #history6 years ago

Very interesting! The first thing I learned was I'm playing in altogether the wrong sort of card games! Wow, who knew... I can see how this robbery would be blamed on Butch and Sundance, but I can't see how it would have caused them a problem way down in South America, considering how isolated they were. Were the boys back in the states when this happened?

Sort:  

haha! The wrong kind of card games! lol...that's too funny sir Keith. Well, it had been almost 2 years since there had been a big train robbery by the gang but there were still Pinkertons trying to find them. However, and I haven't read about it specifically but they had to be slacking off some with nothing happening for 2 years, no robberies and no sightings of the boys.

But now this comes about and with a murder and the railroad goes nuts again and the heat and pressure is back on to find them.So it's only a matter of time before they find out what country they went to and with modern communications and printing and so forth, and that photo that they took in the studio. They can reach into other countries now and the Pinkertons never give up or stop searching.
No, they were working on building their ranch in Argentina.
