@wildwestarchives: Harry Longabaugh – "The Sundance Kid" and the Betrayal of Fate Harry Alonzo Longabaugh (1867–1908?) was better known as The Sundance Kid, a famous outlaw and gunslinger who rode with Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch. Despite his legendary status, his life was marked by betrayal — not by his gang, but by fate and circumstance. A Life on the Run Sundance started as a horse thief and quickly graduated to bank and train robberies. With Butch Cassidy, he formed one of the most notorious criminal partnerships of the Old West. Known for his calm demeanor and deadly accuracy, Sundance was loyal to his gang and trusted by his companions. The Betrayal of Fate As the law closed in on the Wild Bunch, Sundance and Cassidy fled to South America in hopes of starting anew. But despite attempts to live a peaceful life, circumstance and their past caught up with them. In 1908, after a botched payroll robbery in Bolivia, the two were surrounded by authorities. In the ensuing shootout, both men were reportedly killed — though rumors of their survival persisted. A Legacy of Loyalty and Loss The Sundance Kid’s story is one of loyalty to his friends but betrayal by fate. Despite his attempts to escape his outlaw life, his past sealed his fate, turning him into a mythic figure of the Wild West. #historia #oregon #fyp #viral #reddeadredemption #WesternVibes #WesternVibes #cowboy #wildwestarchives #WildWest #tombstone #texas
