Massachusetts rebels against British tyranny. Mississippi goes hunting with the president. Michigan refuses to leave Toledo. Minnesota celebrates Christmas with friends. And Montana listens to a war story. These are the stories of the 50 States of A...
Wyoming. The 44th state claims to be the true cowboy of the frontier. Strong, proud, and respectful, he has quite a personality. Unfortunately, he happens to be both the least populated among the states, and is one of least remembered states among the fifty. Few major events happened in his home since being born after the Civil War. Despite rarely making a difference in U.S. history, he likes his privacy.
Unlike most of the states, he likes to be out on the countryside, alone in the wilderness without having to deal with traffic in the urban cities. In a sense, he's a lone ranger who feels left out in the nation's fast growth. Especially in concern with the latest social trends, he complains how future generations are never going to experience the true outdoors. In his eyes, the great prairies, grand deserts, and vast forests are what he calls paradise; a land where he can enjoy without having to be interrupted by the sounds of cars and phone calls.
Sometimes he would reminisced over the past, the times when the excitement and chaos of the West was at its peak. As a former sheriff, he was known to trail and capture the most notorious outlaws in the Wild West. Among the criminals he would find, one stood out as the most ruthless; the wildest among the Wild Bunch.

Untamed like a den of feral wolves, there is a place within the Big Horn Mountains where the lawmen of the land could not be penetrate without getting shot at it. A place where the most ruthless bandits are able to speak and act freely like any American citizen without the fear of getting thrown behind iron bars. Both men and women, young and old, they all hang out at this secluded spot. Enough food to feed them. Enough cabins to house them. Enough horses to help them with their crimes. This hideout was like a loophole to the laws of the land. It needed to be fixed. It needed to be dealt with.
Appropriately, this loophole that needed fixing was called Hole-in-the-Wall Pass. Home to the most notorious gang of the same name. Let's not be confused that this was a simple gang of six or ten members. Unfortunately, the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang was made up of multiple of gangs who operate separately. Occasionally they would collaborate whenever planning to make a big heist. Some heists are successful, leaving them rich with bags of money and livestock. Other times, they are captured, injured, or killed in the chaos of the action. The ones who do manage to make bank without getting caught or killed were the ones who are the most infamous.
Among the gangs that make up the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, the most famed was Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch. He, the Sundance Kid, Elzy Lay, Tall Texan, 'News' Carver, Camilla 'Deaf Charlie' Hanks, Laura Bullion, and twelve other members were some of the most dangerous outlaws in the Wild West. Their successes in thievery and robbery from ranches to stagecoaches to stores to banks and even trains have gotten a lot of attention from everyone in this country. They were indeed a wild bunch of misfits. Each one of them have committed sins without feeling guilt or remorse of any sorts. Every one of them deserved the punishment and death that come their way. Thus, I swore to myself that I capture and bring such filth to justice.
