In the late 1940s, a man calling himself J. Frank Dalton made a startling announcement: He said that the outlaw Jesse James had not been killed by Bob Ford in 1882. According to Dalton, the entire thing was a hoax, and he – Dalton – was the REAL Jesse James. Join me today as we examine the validity of Dalton’s claims. We’ll also take a look at other Jesse James

imposters, as well as the 1995 DNA test. Also discussed are Al Jennings, Alfred Packer, Frank James, and my willingness to accept bribes!

On September 7th,1876, three heavily armed men entered the First National Bank of Northfield, Minnesota. They immediately pulled their guns and hopped over the counter, demanding that the clerk open the safe. When he refused, he was viciously beaten. And when one of the other employees made a break for freedom, the bandits shot him in the back. Meanwhile, their

companions outside were likewise facing resistance. And within just a matter of a few short minutes, the gang was riddled with bullets. The good folks of Northfield weren’t quite as docile as the outlaws had assumed. And they definitely weren’t in the mood to have their bank robbed. This raid was supposed to be Jesse James’ most daring robbery to date, but instead, it proved to be an abject failure, one that spelled the end for the infamous James Younger gang. But what really occurred there in Northfield? Why’d Jesse James choose Minnesota as a target to begin with? What went wrong during the robbery, and, more importantly, who exactly were those brave citizens who stood up and declared NOT TODAY?

Today, we’re going to examine the war between the Pinkertons and Jesse James, a bloody feud that would culminate in an ill-advised attack on the James farm, along with the tragic death of Jesse’s eight-year-old brother. We’ll also be talking about that “special device” that was thrown through the window. Was it really a bomb or something else entirely? What the heck is Greek fire, anyway? And just how far would Jesse James go to exact revenge?

Was the outlaw Jesse James a cross-dresser? Probably not, but an interesting story claims he dressed as a young lady on at least one occasion. Also discussed is how Jesse earned his nickname (Dingus!), Jim Lane and the Osceola massacre, the Lawrence massacre, how to properly pronounce Glassgow, American Primeval, Jim Bridger, and whether

or not the Missouri guerrillas were on team good guy or team bad guy.

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.
