Harry Longabaugh, known as the Sundance Kid, spent about three years in Alberta during the early 1890s, working as a ranch hand at Bar U Ranch and opening a saloon in Calgary. His time in Canada is often overlooked, despite being a brief interlude in his life of crime alongside Butch Cassidy. Research by Daniel Buck and Anne Meadows revealed new insights into Longabaugh’s activities, including an arrest for animal cruelty that was likely a setup. His ability to lead a double life as a respectable worker in Canada while being a notorious outlaw in the U.S. adds to his mystique.
