Nine Mile Canyon is famous the world over for its prehistoric rock art and remnants of ancient Fremont habitation. But it also teems with Old West history salted with iconic figures of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Last Chance Byway tells the stories of human endeavor and folly in a place historians have long ignored. The history of Nine Mile Canyon often concerns the stories of those who came with dreams and left broke and disillusioned, although there were exceptions. Some who left their mark include famed outlaw hunter Joe Bush, infamous bounty hunter Jack Watson, the larger-than-life cattle baron Preston Nutter, and Robert Leroy Parker, better known as Butch Cassidy.
