He's no Sundance
A University of Utah anthropolgist is trying to determine if some bones dug up in the Duchesne City Cemetery belong to the legendary Sundance Kid.Anyone with an ounce of romance in their heart hopes not. We'd rather remember Sundance as portrayed by Bob Redford — robbing banks on two continents, sleeping with Katherine Ross and dying in a hail of bullets with Paul Newman.
If the remains of the man buried 72 years ago in Duchesne are proven to be Harry Alonzo Longabaugh, a.k.a. the Sundance Kid, it would mean Sundance died as William Long, a poor-assed sodbuster married to a Utah widow who already had six kids.
Understandably, Long killed himself at his home near Duchesne in 1936.

Thanks Dan Buck for more of your editorial comments.
Science and research are the significant thing here and whether or not it proves out on a DNA level, there is much for all of us to gain from this process.
The true identity of William Henry Long will come forth in time and all who had the courage to come this way and learn what there is to be learned.
As we venture fearlessly forth in our quest for what is we are enjoying this story as it unfolds.
