I knew about Jesse James and that he was a notorious bandit. You could also see the movie The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford (2007) with Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. I think that the end is a very interesting bit of information, that as far as I've read, is true.

Don't g r t your history from Hollywood movies, Wikipedia, or PBS. Read the real thing from trusted sources who dont have any agenda but the truth.

I also heard that one day he and his gang sought refuge with the widow, she didn't know who they were as had just started out and she was about to loose her house. She handed over the deeds to the people and Jessie and crew stole them back, killing the guy who took them and she managed to keep her house. Not sure if true but I like the story

All shot to hell, by Mark Lee Gardner is a great read, & well researched, discounts many of the myths of the James gang.

N1ghtw1shco0ls, Ii always heard the James gang never raided outside of Missouri, except the great Northfield raid where the gang got all shot up just before Bob Ford shot Jesse in the back!
I also heard that Frank James went back to the farm, got married and lived out his life as a farmer!

My son is a direct decendant of Jesse James. His family has a book that has his family history and it goes way back and Jessy James is in it. I wish I had paid more attention to it at the time.

Where my wife's family is from in SW corner of MO. at Pineville there's still annual festival called the Jesse James Days. The OG Jesse James movie from the 1930's was filmed there and the Court House was still in use until the 70's As well as the James Cavern that legend has it was used on occasions to evade capture. Because there is a way to get thru the mountain.

My mom and her siblings are Younger's. My one uncle believes they're related to the Younger gang but I've never traced our heritage back. My one aunt who never married named her son Cole and another uncle named his one son Travis Cole. It wouldn't surprise me if we were related to the Younger gang as that side of my family is definitely different!

NeeraTrue, There's a HUGE cave in MO. that Jessie used to hide out in. The LAW knew he was in there, & for 2 days, they staked out at the entrance to the cave. They finally decided to go in after him. HE WAS GONE. He had slipped out the "Back Door"... There was an exit at the back of the cave.
