A historic and folkloric path that meandered from Canada to Mexico; the Outlaw Trail was used by outlaws such as Butch Cassidy; the Sundance Kid; and the James brothers. Following existing Western routes such as the Oregon Trail; the highway connected towns and natural hideouts essential for bandits escaping the law. Some in Western communities were sympathetic toward the outlaws. Many; like Cassidy; were seen as Robin Hoods; fighting for common people who were under siege by economic forces; corporate encroachment; and other changes occurring in the Old West. Images of America: Wyoming�s Outlaw Trail details the history; folklore; and geography behind some of Wyoming�s outlaw towns and hideouts�chief among them the Hole in the Wall and Red Desert. Also highlighted are the deeds of the robbers; lawmen; and ordinary folk who rode those dusty trails during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
