Accounts of bank-robberies and other exploits of outlaws and desperadoes are usually supposed to belong to the criminal-news columns of the daily paper and to the writer of sensational literature. When the robber is the only or the principal actor in the scene, and his prowess or brutality the only feature worth mentioning, the less said of it the better. But when a great crime is the occasion of great heroism, courage, fidelity, intrepid resistance, and the triumph of virtue over violence, then there is a story worth telling, and a lesson worth learning. It is such a story that is unfolded in the following pages. The attempted robbery of the Northfield bank, the refusal of Mr. Heywood to open the safe, his brutal murder by the baffled robber, the brave and successful fight made by the citizens, the flight, pursuit and capture of the bandits,Ñall this was familiar enough to the whole nation eighteen years ago. But such events easily pass from the recollection of men; while to a generation of young people now growing up it has never been known. To some of us it has seemed, therefore, that the time has come to tell the story again, not from the sensational point of view, but from that of heroism and loyalty to duty. The aim of the author has been to give a correct account of the facts involved, and leave them to convey their own lesson and inspiration. Revolting details have been omitted. All important statements are made upon the authority of eye-witnesses, where such testimony was accessible, and in most cases by the collation of a number of independent accounts.

This book was written to honor those who helped spoil the Northfield Minnesota bank robbery by the James, Younger gang. Joseph Heywood the man who refused to open the vault, was the hero of the day, but it cost him his life. On September 7th, 1876, The James-Younger gang attempted to rob the Northfield bank. There were 8 members of the gang, consisting of Frank and Jesse James, Cole, Bob, and James Younger, Charles Pitts, Clel Miller, and William Stiles. Three members entered the bank, while two waited outside. The other three were reserves. Once the bullets began to fly, the five members outside rode up and down the street shooting in an attempt to keep the citizens inside. The citizens armed themselves and fought back. Miller and Stiles were left dead on the street, while the others rode off. One week later, the gang split-up, and Frank and Jesse crossed the Minnesota line into South Dakota and escaped. On the 21st, two weeks after the robbery, the Youngers and Charley Pitts, were found and in the shoot-out, Cole received 11 wounds, James 5 wounds, and Bob was shot in the chest. Pitts was killed. The Youngers recovered and pled guilty to avoid the death sentence. They refused to name the Jameses as the two who escaped. Bob died in prison in 1889, and as of the publication date of this book (1895) Cole and James had yet to be paroled.

Jesse and Frank James were household names long before images of America's most wanted were televised. For several decades after the Civil War, they were hunted by hundreds who supposed them to be involved in every bank and train robbery in the Midwest. Trained as guerrilla fighters in the border conflict between Kansas and Missouri, they joined with the Younger brothers in February 1866 to rob a bank in Liberty, Missouri. That was the beginning of a criminal confederation that seemed beyond the reach of the law until the Northfield, Minnesota, raid killed three of them and sent the James brothers into hiding. But they were the objects of posted rewards that proved too tempting in Jesse's case: in 1882 he was shot in the back by Robert Ford of his own gang. The Rise and Fall of Jesse James, by Robertus Love, a newspaperman who knew Frank James, is a pioneering work that plumbs the personalities of the outlaws, looks at their domestic lives, cites many stories about them, and attempts to separate fact from legend in tracking their violent operations. Michael Fellman assesses Love's 1926 book in his introduction to this Bison Books edition.
