Beschreibung:
RICHARD F. SELCER, a Fort Worth native, is the author of eleven books on western, Civil War, and Fort Worth history, including Civil War America, 1850-1875 in the Almanacs of American Life series, Legendary Watering Holes: The Saloons That Made Texas Famous, and A History of Fort Worth in Black and White: 165 Years of African American Life.
One of the most famous images in western history is a photograph of the Wild Bunch outlaw gang, also known as "The Fort Worth Five," featuring Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid, and three other members of the gang dressed to the nines and posing in front of a studio backdrop. This picture, taken by John Swartz in his Fort Worth studio in November 1900, helped bring the gang down when distributed around the country by the Pinkerton Agency. It may be seen today as a prominent marketing image for the Sundance Square development in downtown Fort Worth.
