Butch Cassidy
The American outlaw Butch Cassidy, his partner, the Sundance Kid, and Sundance's girl friend Etta Place bought a ranch near Cholila in 1901 and lived there until about 1905. Their cabin, north of the village, was visited by travel author Bruce Chatwin in the 1970s and was in a dilapidated state. In 2007, the cabin was partially restored."Butch Cassidy's Cabin", https://www.roughguides.com/destinations/south-america/argentina/lake-district/cholila-around/butch-cassidys-cabin/, accessed 24 Jan 2018 Cassidy, Sundance, and Place bought a ranch near Cholila and raised sheep, cattle, and horses.
