JESSE JAMES

Jesse Woodson James was an American outlaw of the Wild West. He was born in 1847 at Clay County, Missouri and died in 1882. As a teenager he joined a band of Confederate guerrillas during the American Civil War. After the war, he and his brother Frank turned to robbery, leading a gang of outlaws from 1866. During a fifteen year period he committed numerous bank and train robberies before being shot by Robert Ford, a member of his gang, for the reward money offered for his capture, dead or alive.
