Old Men Forget (Hardback Edition)There are numerous stories about Butch Cassidy in Wyoming, many of which were prompted by the 1934 trip to the state by William T. Phillips, alias William T. Wilcox. If Phillips did not actively pass himself off as Cassidy, he did nothing to correct those who thought he was the outlaw. That sparked a debate as to whether Cassidy had returned from South America, having survived a fight with the authorities in Bolivia in 1908. Fortunately, the Works

There are numerous stories about Butch Cassidy in Wyoming, many of which were prompted by the 1934 trip to the state by William T. Phillips, alias William T. Wilcox. If Phillips did not actively pass himself off as Cassidy, he did nothing to correct those who thought he was the outlaw. That sparked a debate as to whether Cassidy had returned from South America, having survived a fight with the authorities in Bolivia in 1908.

Fortunately, the Works Progress Administration in Wyoming actively set out to gather stories and recollections of Cassidy in an attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery of Cassidy's fate. Those stories became the bedrock of the legend of Butch Cassidy in Wyoming. Many of the stories are untrue, at best misremembrances of events that did not include Cassidy, at worst outright fabrications. But there are some long-overlooked accounts that almost certainly are true and add new detail to the story of Butch Cassidy in Wyoming.

Old Men Forget, Butch Cassidy in Wyoming Volume 4, analyses the treasure trove of material gathered by the WPA and sorts the false from the factual. It also tells the story of how and why Cassidy came to be photographed in the Laramie penitentiary, explaining why we now have one of the most iconic photographs in the history of the old West, and the prison photograph of William T. Wilcox, the would-be Cassidy. The story explains why Cassidy did not have his head shaved in his picture, while Wilcox was close-cropped when he was pictured. The tale also busts many of the oft-repeated myths about the Cassidy photograph, including the notion that it shows the injuries he suffered when he was arrested in April 1892. It does not. Old Men Forget narrows down the date on which the photograph was taken to one of two days in May 1895.

Finally, Old Men Forget throws new light on the history of William T. Phillips, untangling some of the branches of his complicated family tree and explaining why he used the name Wilcox in Wyoming and Phillips in Michigan and Washington.

An Easy DIY Headlight Restoration Kit with Strong Appeal
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
This restoration kit is appealing because it offers a way to improve cloudy or oxidized headlights without needing power tools. That makes it accessible for people who want to do the job themselves without investing in extra equipment. Cerakote also has a strong reputation in protective coatings, which gives this kit added credibility compared with generic restoration products. The biggest selling point is the promise of restoring clarity while adding a protective finish to help maintain the results. If the process is easy to follow and the wipes are effective, this can be a worthwhile DIY option for improving both appearance and nighttime visibility. For vehicle owners with faded headlights, this seems like one of the more convenient restoration approaches available.

Perfect
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Honestly one of the best headlight restoration kits I’ve used. The instructions were simple, the process was easy to follow, and the results were way better than expected. My headlights were heavily oxidized and yellow, and after using the 2000/3000 grit sanding steps with the ceramic coating, they looked almost brand new again. The ceramic finish made them crystal clear and glossy. Definitely worth the money and much better than cheap polish-only kits.

Very happy with the outcome, worked perfectly
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I was very happy with the CERAKOTE Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit. The instructions were simple to follow, and the whole process was much easier than I expected. My headlights were cloudy and dull before using it, but after completing the steps, they looked dramatically clearer and much closer to new. The kit included everything needed, and I liked that it did not require any extra tools or complicated equipment. The results made a noticeable difference in the appearance of the vehicle, and the headlights also seem brighter at night. Overall, this is a great product that does exactly what it claims. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and effective way to restore foggy headlights.
