Heroes or desperadoes? For more than a century Wild West enthusiasts have been divided in their estimations of the exploits of Frank and Jesse James. To some, the James brothers were latter-day Robin Hoods who shared the proceeds of their bank and train robberies with the disadvantaged of their home state of Missouri. To others, the Jameses and their gang were among the most notorious outlaws of the American nineteenth century, cutting a bloody swath of crime from Iowa to Texas and from Kansas to West Virginia between 1866 and Jesse's death in 1882. In Frank and Jesse James, historian Ted P. Yeatman separates the men from the myths. Delving into archives of the states where they carried out their most audacious hold-ups, he reconstructs the historical record of their infamy, from their days serving as Confederate bushwhackers in Missouri to Frank's travels with the notorious Quantrill's Raiders. After likely assisting, if not participating, in America's first daylight armed bank robbery in peacetime in Liberty, Missouri in February of 1866, the James Brothers' reputation was set. For the next decade-and-a-half, Frank and Jesse James and their confederates were among the most daring and most feared outlaw bands in the nation. Yeatman discloses information that has hitherto eluded most historical accounts of the James Gang. Among these are letters concerning a full-scale war the Pinkertons waged against the James Brothers in the 1870s, including a firebombing of the James homestead that so outraged citizens it turned the tide of sympathy in the James' favor and helped to stoke popular belief in their benevolence. Yeatman also reveals information pertaining to the exhumation and forensic study of Jesse's remains that sheds light on the outlaw's habits, life, and death. Illustrated with rare period photos and documents, Frank and Jesse James is a trove of treasures for any reader fascinated by the legends and lore that make the Wild West wild. - Jacket flap.

*Includes pictures of James and important people and places in his life. *Discusses James's notorious life and murder. *Includes a Bibliography for further reading. "There is a hell of excitement in this part of the country." - Jesse James Space may be the final frontier, but no frontier has ever captured the American imagination like the "Wild West", which still evokes images of dusty cowboys, outlaws, gunfights, gamblers, and barroom brawls over 100 years after the West was settled. A constant fixture in American pop culture, the 19th century American West continues to be vividly and colorful portrayed not just as a place but as a state of mind. In Charles River Editors' Legends of the West series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most famous frontier figures in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. The Wild West has made legends out of many men after their deaths, but like Wild Bill Hickok, Jesse James was a celebrity during his life. However, while Hickok was (mostly) a lawman, Jesse James was and remains the most famous outlaw of the Wild West, with both his life of crime and his death remaining pop culture fixtures. James and his notorious older brother Frank were Confederate bushwhackers in the lawless region of Missouri during the Civil War. Despite being a teenager, James was severely wounded twice during the war, including being shot in the chest, but that would hardly slow him down after the war ended. As he recuperated, some of the men he was known to associate with during the war robbed Clay County Savings Bank in Liberty, Missouri in 1866. While it's still unclear whether James was involved, he was soon conducting his own bank robberies. Young Jesse became notorious in 1869 after robbing the Daviess County Savings Association in Gallatin, Missouri, during which he murdered the bank cashier in the mistaken belief that the cashier was Union officer Samuel Cox. Despite being officially branded an outlaw, public resentment with government corruption and the banks helped turn James into a celebrated "Robin Hood" type of robber, despite the fact he never actually gave anyone money. Eventually James, his brother and their infamous gang became the most hunted outlaws in the country, but Jesse would famously be done in by the brother of his most trusted gang members. After Jesse moved in with the Ford brothers, Bob Ford began secretly negotiating turning in the famous outlaw to Missouri Governor Thomas Crittenden. On April 3, 1882, as the gang prepared for another robber, Jesse was famously shot in the back of the head by Bob Ford as he stood on a chair fixing a painting. While conspiracy theories have continued to linger that somehow James was not killed on that day, the Ford brothers would celebrate their participation in his murder, Bob himself would be murdered a few years later, and Jesse James's legacy had been ensured. Legends of the West: The Life and Legacy of Jesse James chronicles the outlaw's life, while also analyzing his legacy and the mythology that has enveloped his story, attempting to separate fact from fiction to determine what the notorious robber was really like. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events in his life, you will learn about Jesse James like you never have before, in no time at all.
