He got it later while working in a butcher shop in Rock Springs, Wyoming. His friends called him "Butcher Cassidy," which eventually shortened to "Butch." The Harmonica Outlaw: Butch was known for being incredibly charismatic. On the ranch, he was the primary entertainer, often leading his 12 younger brothers and sisters in song while playing the harmonica. The White Cloth Ceiling: To make the rugged log cabin feel more like a "civilized" home, Butch’s mother, Annie, tacked white cloth across the ceiling to catch the dirt and dust falling from the sod roof.

Butch’s mother allegedly came home to find the entire flock stumbling around the yard "drunk as sailors." A Secret Visit?
