According to many, Jesse James was a hero, a freedom fighter
who continued resisting Northern aggression long after the Civil War came to an
end. But to his victims, Jesse was nothing more than a cold-blooded killer, one
who used the war as a convenient excuse to lead a life of violence and
destruction. But where does the truth lie? What occurred during Jesse’s
childhood that turned him to a life of crime? How old was he when he first went
to war? How’d he survive two separate gunshot wounds to the chest before his 18th
birthday? And is it true he married his own cousin? Join me today as we explore
the life and times of Jesse James! Also discussed are Bloody Bill Anderson,
William Quantrill, the Lawrence Massacre, & the Missouri Bushwhackers.
