THE LIFE (AND AFTERLIFE) OF OUTLAW JESSE JAMES

Jesse James was an American outlaw who rode for Bloody Bill Anderson's bushwhackers and Quantrill's Raiders before, during, and after the Civil War., As a guerilla raider Jesse and his brother Frank took part in the brutal slayings of hundreds of unarmed civilians as well as surrendered union soldiers. As an outlaw after the Civil War, the James brothers and the gangs they organized were responsible for dozens of bank, train, and stagecoach robberies during which unarmed civilians were shot down in cold blood. Friendly newspaper reporting that was sympathetic to the pro-slavery south portrayed them as heroes and robin hood types-although no documentation exists that proves they ever gave to the poor. Rumors persist today that contrary to the accepted fact that Bob Ford shot and killed Jesse James (alias then was Howard) from behind in April of 1882, another man, Wood Hite, a cousin of James, was the one who was buried, and that Jesse James lived a long and prosperous life in Texas under an assumed name.
