In the year 1879, Jesse James robbed a paymaster in Muscle Shoals AL. This placed him on the road which passed by my great grandmothers house. She was sitting on the porch when Jesse and company rode past. In 1948, she relayed this story to my father, who passed the info to me. It was only minutes ago that I found out that Jesse James, was in fact, in Muscle Shoals at the time my great grandma claimed he was. She also described them as wearing very long coats, which in fact, they DID have... as described in the Littlefield MO raid a few years earlier. All I can say is... WOW!! My great grandma actually SAW Jesse James.

Jackster, I have seen that very program you're talking about. Supposedly he did live to be a ripe old age. He went to meetings with the CSA, & ended up with some of the Confederate money also. His name is on the roll call as being there. There have been some Gold Coins found burried in Mason Jars. On the tree truck is cut out JJ connected together. Also, on that show was his Great Great GrandSon that looks just like the portrait of him, They comb his hair & put on an outfit similar to his . He knew he was going to be killed & set the whole thing up to look like he did. He had heard about the Ford guy & the governor's money, he just paid him more. The "dead body" on display was not Jessie James but, another guy that put in his place. Check for that show to come back on History Channel, & you will see.

I am going to make a reply to myself! There was another show about a guy that was searching for the Mason Jars, Jessie had buried underneath trees or rock walls with his JJ carved. The coins are dated way back before the Ward Between the States - nothing civil about it. As he needed the money he would go did it up, & show up at the CSA. My GrandFather Bird Cole was alive about that time & I am trying to figure out if he is related to Zeldra Cole. I am on Ancestery.com & I am now a memeber of the Daughters of the Confederacy! My nephew is the one that noticed a portrait of Jessie & thought he favored our GrandFather. Still hoping to find out!

Enjoyed your video Jerry. Here in Australia in the 1880s we had a bushranger called Edward 'Ned' Kelly. Like your American Jesse James opinion then and now we're divided on whether he was a hero or a cold blooded killer. Although not a mass killer he did rob the wealthy landowners (mainly British) and were supported by the poor squatters (Irish). Eventually the authorities caught him after an amazing gunfight in which he wore home made armour. Ned was captured and hanged in 1880. If you ever get the chance I believe you'd really enjoy the story and the similarities to Jesse James.

NO, it is just an opinion ! There are several different opinions when it comes to the James Brothers and why they robbed Trains and Banks ! The Northern Yankees contended that they were nothing but a Gang of criminal murderers and thieves. The Southerners contended That they were holdouts who refused to surrender to the hated Yankees and were just carrying on with the civil war ! The Southern farmer's saw them as people who were attacking the hated Yankee railroads and banks that they believed were robbing them ! Then there are those who contend that they were involved with the Knights of the Golden Circle to regain the political control of several of the Southern and Border States, from the Yankee Carpetbagger Politicians ! WHAT IS THE TRUTH, WHO KNOWS FOR SURE SO JUST PICK AN OPINION OR DON'T ! BECAUSE 140 YEARS AFTER THE FACT THAT THEY DID ROB TRAINS AND BANKS IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN WHY THEY DID !

Something not mentioned here is that the banks foreclosing on local farmers is what started Frank and Jesse on the road to robbing banks. Frank started first and then Jesse joined with him. That's where they get the Robin Hood comparison from. They did give money to people who were losing their farms in the beginning. There is a lot to the back story that is too long to go into here. After the Northfield raid, Jesse hid in a cave in some hills near where I grew up. We used to play in that cave when we were kids.

Cole contacted brother Jim in California to come home, saying Bob needs you. Jim Younger wasn't a regular gang member, this may have been his only raid. He and Cole only went out of family loyalty. The plan was reckless and obviously a failure.

You dont know ur own history ? If ur american ? Thats not why they started ro rob banks. That was going on for years. Them starting to rob banks, together with the younger brothers, was after their time with quantrill. They were battle hardend, and they were outlawed because though most of the bushwackers got amnesty, Quantrills men didnt. So they went on with some others and start robbing banks, and trains, to get back at the system and while they were at it, stopped foreclosures, like the time when they payed off that womans house, but they robbed the guy when he left the womans house.

I have been childhood friends since a young teen with two of the living decendants of the James family. The two, both Holly and Chris are very humble and respectable people and some of the best people I have ever known in my life. Currently they both live in Texas . Jesse was known to give to the less fortunate even though his reputation was surrounding violence as we all know which was a shame. I hope his grave stone is not damaged with how people feel about the confederation as what has been happening in today's times. Regardless if it's from confederation or union , both flags and statutes should not be harmed as even though the rebel cause was wrong,, it's still part of history.

If the picture is Jesse James, then who is the dead guy in the picture in the casket . In this picture he has profound widows peak! The dead guy has none! You can’t lose a widows peak they only get worse. One of them is not Jesse James

@@robertsettle2590 how are you sir? Well just to let you know Mr. Settle, you don't even know me sir. And that is YOUR LOSS! But I will inform you about some details of what I HAVE NEVER DONE!! 1) I have NEVER robbed anyone or any business and/ or institution such as a Bank, Train, or anything else, 2) I have NEVER KILLED, MURDERED, or SHOT anyone, (let alone someone in cold blood) like your boyfriend Jesse James viciously SHOT that little girl at a Kansas City Fairgrounds, (by the way it has been documented by numeous credible sources that your Boyfriend Jesse Woodson James killed, and even VICIOUSLY MURDERED more than a countless amount of people, including innocent victims that resulted in a MULTITUDE OF WIDOWS AND ORPHANS!!!!!!!) 3) And I have CERTAINLY NEVER COMMITTED INCEST!!!! Who in his/her right mind would fall in love AND marry their FIRST COUSIN!!!!!! Mr. Settle my man!!! You specifically stated in your message to me that your Boyfriend Jesse James WAS a saint compared to me....... Even though you don't even know me, AND YES YOU ARE ENTITLED to your opinions sir, BUT just consider the facts that your Boyfriend Jesse James was a: 1) Robber/Thief, 2) Sadistic Murderer of GOD knows how many innocent people, 3) A MENACING TERRORIST, 4) AND someone who committed INCEST!!!!! Would you want your own daughter to marry your nephew Mr. Settle??? By the way, your Boyfriend Jesse James WAS ALSO A WHITE SUPREMACIST!!!!! (at least to an extent)..... If your Boyfriend Jesse James exuded all the qualities of a saint Mr. Settle, THEN I DEFINITELY WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU, YOUR WIFE, AND YOUR CHILDREN sir!!! May GOD forever bless and prosper you always Mr. Settle. It was certainly interesting meeting you sir.

As a boy being raised in Saint Joseph, MO. in the 60s, I would play in the yard with other kids where Jesse was shot. Jesse was a hero to all of us. I also knew a few of the grandchildren of some of William Quantrill Raiders whose grandparents had settled in the area, The grandchildren were old men when I met them. Saint Joseph had sided with the South. Saint Joe was a wide-open town in Jesse's day. growing up there in the 60s it was fun listening to old men and their stories of the good old days. Saint Jo. was the Las Vegas of its day. Also, it seems like everyone was related to Jesse, or so they claimed. :)

When I purchased my home I was gifted a lamp post. The story behind it is that his family brought with them and was one of the light posts at the scene of Jesse James's First National Bank Robery. It resides in my back yard still and will be following my family.

Sir, once again, masterful storytelling. I do not detect any opinion sway in your delivery, I appreciate that and can respect facts delivered as gathered. You bring those facts to life with your ability to string'em into a story so very well. Like I've said previously, reminiscent of my story telling GrandFather Alfred (Tick) Ross. Beauty job Jerry.
