Who did Robert Ford shoot and kill in 1882?
Correct answer: Jesse James
Player #1922606
My great grandfather was neighbors to the James family. They were forced off their land by the railroad. Jesse’s mom lost her arm because the railroad threw dynamite in her home, killing Jesse’s handicapped brother and his mom lost her arm from it. My ancestry would feed them when they came through always leaving money under their plates when they left. Have a picture of great grandpa with Frank James when he was older.

I used to live near where Jesse James robbed a train and had supposedly hidden the gold in the surrounding desert hills, but it had never been found. I spent a lot of time exploring that desert and found amazing native artifacts, pottery and jewelry - but never any gold.

Jimbo Slice, my great great grandfather has been the man accused of being Jessie James. Not true but it still did not stop my grandfather cousin to give permission to desecrate his grave and DNA test his remains. Results inconclusive. So odd to be a James at times!

"What goes around comes around." Or, "He who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Sad story. Bad decisions all around.

Player #2707276,
Jesse james did mention that there were quite a few JJ impersonation back in the day which is what was supposed to have been buried and not the real JJ apparently both JJ and Billy the Kid had lived until the early 1950s under various names

I have a lot of sympathy for the James/Younger gang. Especially, the James. I would be hard pressed to NOT seek revenge.
The wealthy in those days (today too) had huge superiority complexes AND huge levels of self-importance. They were enraged that a poor white family, jump to leave their home, for "progress" sake. So, they set explosives. For the "greater good" of progress.

I named my dog Jesse James he had steel gray eyes when he was a pup, just reminded me of pictures I'd seen of Jesse . I call my dog James it fits him better . Bob Ford was a despicable coward

In the back! The last true wild frontier tamed by regular people. It's bound to creat some amazing men and women. The West was so much more crazy than anybody or movie will tell you. Doesn't make sense cause we done been everywhere now but just think if you could do that. Keeping it real.
