Constant Communications The Sundance Kid’s correspondence kept him tied to the U.S.

The Sundance Kid—Harry Longabaugh—was a man who liked to stay in touch with people.  He frequently wrote to his family in Pennsylvania, sometimes sending photos, including some with Etta/Ethel Place in South America.

He sent several copies of his New York DeYoung Studio photos to friends in the West, along with updates on his life.  Interestingly, all of those communications stopped after November 1908—when Sundance and Butch Cassidy reportedly died in a fight with Bolivian police in the mountain town of San Vicente.
