It seemed that the vast Patagonia had seduced him, finally humanized his outlaw soul after four years of peaceful existence. But Sundance did not adjust well to that kind of living and was eager to do without it, doubtlessly influenced by Ethel.
In his book Wanted in Patagonia, Gavirati refers that, in the daily seat of the bowling alley of Jones and Neil, on the Neuquén side of the Limay River, it was established that at a stop on a trip to Buenos Aires, Harry Place, Ethel Place and James Ryan purchased “two kilograms of weed, one kilo of sugar and one light bulb.”
He said, "You're the second North American who came here to ask about Wilson. The other fellow was here about forty years ago. He was an American - an older man. He had white hair. He used a Mexican saddle and he spoke poor Castellano. But he was an American. I'm sure of that."
"When he came, he asked me where Wilson's grave was and I told him. He put that cross on the grave and he planted the rose bush up there. When he came down, he thanked me and rode away. I never saw him or heard of him again."
"I did ask about him in the village. No one had seen him or knew who he was. That seemed strange. They said he didn't use the road through the village to come here. The only other way he could have traveled to this place was through the mountains. He must have known his way".
Butch was doing what he knew how to do. He managed a productive livestock operation with good grass, good water and plenty of room on his own place. Sundance and Etta joined in.
Sundance took care of the horses and their training. He sold a few "tamed" horses to the Cavalry Regiment at Esquel. Etta took care of records, supplies and social contacts. Butch sold hides, wool and some cattle. There was practically no local market for beef.
Butch was planning to sell some cattle in a new market in Chile, which would be only four trail days away by a rumored new route over the mountains. Butch, Sundance and Etta rode their range together exploring the limits of their land observing for minerals, timber, water and grass.
They saw flamingoes, black necked swans, many splendidly colored ducks, enormous flocks of geese (avutarda), raptors of all kinds, mountain lions that preyed on their sheep, foxes, deer, boar and many other small animals and birds but few insects.
They may have seen a tiny deer ("pichu"?) that weighs less than six pounds. Streams in the Patagonia nourished large numbers of trout - brook, rainbow and brown. Sundance discovered Argentine wine and gin that soon became his pastime.
We do not know their destination, if they had one, or their mode of travel. We know that Etta Place came home. We were told (in a letter from Butch) that Sundance gave her all his money.
It seems to me, that when Cassidy wrote this letter, November 12, 1907, he still believed that he was destined to be a livestock rancher some day in some place and the purpose of his future robberies, if any, would be to establish himself in that way of life. 你好可憐哪
Although Cassidy wasn't very fond of sheep, 1300 animals were part of the Land Agent's Package they had bought and the peons did all the work taking care of the flocks, lambing, shepherding, shearing and man-handling those enormous bales of wool. 紀錄一下這個出自於上面的Fiction and Facts
