If Americans were asked to select the best known and most
celebrated outlaws, from among the many bad men produced by the
Wild West, chances are Frank and Jesse James would be the choice of
most people. The infamous brothers from Missouri, sided with the
Confederacy and rode with with maurading guerrillas during the
Civil War. Having learned to shoot and kill without moral
compunction, they quickly and easily transitioned from Rebel
fighters to daring outlaws, making their living by stealing from
others. The brothers and their gang, that often included Cole
Younger, robbed stage coaches, banks and trains in Missouri and
surrounding states. But was the bank robbery in Northfield,
Minnesota, the bank robbery gone wrong, followed by an amazing and
improbable escape through Minnesota, Dakota and Iowa, that changed
the James brothers from ordinary outlaws to legendary characters.
The long, hard ride home, was a journey that took them into both
history and folklore. And from time to time, like galloping ghosts,
they emerge with guns ablazing.
