In 1862, Jesse James and his brother Frank joined a band of rebels. Four years later, they were joined by Cole Younger, and they became known as the James Gang. They committed robbery and murder in many states, but after they robbed a bank in Missouri, the legends about the gang became popular. Though some thought of the James Gang as heroes who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, eventually Jesse James was killed for reward money. This fast-paced and interesting account is made all-the-more exciting by the use of primary source images.
