Description
Inventory #V2A2034-E. South of Circleville, Utah, along Highway 89 sits a small cabin with its accompanying shed. Two trees provide long shadows in the late afternoon light. The surrounding mountains add interest to the landscape. This was the home for a short while of Robert Leroy Parker, better known as Butch Cassidy. The oldest of 13 children in this Mormon family, Robert went to work as a teenager for a nearby rancher named Mike Cassidy. Eventually, he took Cassidy's name as his own. Some years later while working as a butcher's apprentice, he gained the nickname "Butch," and so arose the character of Butch Cassidy. He and his Hole in the Wall gang worked the Wyoming area while living in fair comfort on a ranch purchased with stolen money. Cassidy was finally surrounded and killed in Bolivia.
This unassuming cabin has been cleaned up by the State of Utah and is open free to the public. While it's no great shakes as a cabin, it is interesting to see the humble home life of this notorious outlaw.
