Butch Cassidy
Butch Cassidy, real name Robert LeRoy Parker, was a ruthless train robber during the time of the Old West. He was also the leader of a criminal outlaw organization known as the “Wild Bunch” and he was finally forced to flee the nation with his accomplice Alonzo Longbaugh, or “The Sundance Kid,” and his wife Etta Pace, who was also a member of the Wild Bunch. When Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were believed to have been slain in a shootout with the Bolivian Army in 1908, the story went viral. Cassidy is now regarded as a legendary figure in the American Wild West.
The Wright Brothers
Orville and Wilbur Wright were two brothers who obtained valuable mechanics knowledge by working on a variety of gadgets in their Dayton, Ohio, shop. Later, they would go on to design and construct the world’s first successful motor-driven airplane. On December 17, 1903, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the Wright brothers took their maiden flight in a craft known as the Wright Flyer. The Wright brothers are recognized for not only putting humans in the air but also for developing aircraft controls that enabled fixed-wing powered flight to become a reality.
