    About this ebook

    Now it is easy, with this guidebook in hand, to locate nplaces with fascinating historical connection to the life of Utah's most notorious native son, the elusive cowboy outlaw, Butch Cassidy (born in the same small town where, many years later, the inventor of television, Milo T. Farnsworth was also born.) Presented are dozens of sites in Butch's home state of Utah and across Colordado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Nevada. Each listing includes GPS coordinates, driving directions, detailed descriptions of the place, and facts about its historical significance in the life of Butch and/or Sundance. Included are fascinating pycho-social insights about how Butch's upbringing as the first son of Mormon Pioneers may have shaped his exceptional success and humane behavior as an international outlaw. The guidebook's Appendix also provides readers with a long list of recommended Butch and Sundance sites found in Bolivia.

      i. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

      This guidebook owes it existence to my having become involved as a volunteer with the non-profit, international service organization, Partners of the Americas, thru the organization’s two linked chapters that serve to partner, or connect, citizen volunteers in Utah with similar citizen volunteers in Bolivia.

      When that partnership connection between Utah and Bolivia first began, back in the 1960’s, Utah’s volunteers were among some of the first to affiliate themselves with the newly founded Partners of the Americas organization. That was back even before Partners of the Americas had its current name, back when it was in its infancy as a citizen-to-citizen arm of the Kenndy Administration's Alliance for Progress which introduced a number of initiatives designed to help strength US ties throughout Latin America.

      It is unknown to me exactly how Utah's fledgling chapter, headquartered in the State's capitol, Salt Lake City, came to be partnered with a new chapter being formed in Bolivia's capitol city, La Paz. Part of the reason may lie in similarities among the two places: like the fact that both capitol cities lie within a bowl-shaped valley surrounded by mountain peaks and high plateaus; and, that both have, not too far away, large saline lakes, salt flats, and semi-arid high deserts with fantastically shaped and colored rock formations.

      Possibly, the historic link that Butch and Sundance Kid forged between Utah and Bolivia actually played a role—big or small—in the decision that someone or some group reached to put Utah together with Bolivia as paired chapters in the new international organization being established to increase citizen-to-citizen interaction across the Americas. In any case, the organization’s twin offspring, the Utah-Bolivia Partners chapter and La Alianza Bolivia y Utah chapter, have enjoyed one of the longest and proudest histories to be found among the many great pairs of chapters that were given birth by the organization that grew to become Partners of the Americas. Today, that organization is still going strong—one of the best outgrowths of the Kennedy Administration’s Latin American initiative,The Alliance for Progress.

      Long after the paired chapters, Utah-Bolivia Partners and La Alianza Bolivia y Utah, had put years
