Rise and Fall of Jesse James

1926. The story of the life of one of the worlds' legendary characters, the outlaw, Jesse James. Some call him America's Robin Hood, while others see him as a cold-blooded killer. Perhaps he was all of these things. Some people say it was the cruel treatment from Union soldiers that turned Frank and Jesse to a life of crime during the Civil War. Certainly during the war years they learned to kill while riding with William Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson. Within a year after the end of the war, Frank and Jesse are believed to have pulled off the first daylight bankrobbery in peace time. They made off with $60,000 from the Liberty, Missouri bank not far from their home, and one man was killed. For the next 15 years, the James boys roamed throughout the U.S. robbing trains and banks of their gold, building a legend that was to live more than a century after Jesse's death.Love, Robertus is the author of 'Rise and Fall of Jesse James' with ISBN 9781417925933 and ISBN 1417925930.
