Bringing Sundance Home is the new book written and researched by Jerry Nickle. He claims that William Henry Long, who was working for a cattle ranch in Wyoming, was arrested under the name of Harry Longabaugh after Harry Longabaugh had been arrested and escaped for horse stealing. A case of mistaken identity which apparently William Henry Long went along with to a certain degree. Hence William Henry Long has been the Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy's friend and sidekick in South America since that time. At this time I am not going to agree or disagree with Jerry. I have though for some time that Hiram BeBee was the Sundance Kid. This sheds a different light on the subject and I am still, as always, looking for evidence before coming to a conclusion. I will say it is possible and makes sense the way Jerry explained it.
Willilam Henry Long married Luzernia Ann Allred who was the daughter of Andrew Jackson Allred who is the brother of Hannah Caroline Allred who is my ancestorr. James Allred, their father, is the common ancestor of myself and Jerry Nickle. I am related to William Henry Long by marriage. After Luzernia Jerry is descended from Chloe Jane Morrell Jackson and Jeremiah Jackson who may be the outlaw Kid Jackson that Charles Kelly referred to. They are Jerry's grandparents. Next is Clayton Jackson Nickle and Luzernia Jackson Nickle. They are Jerry's parents.
