Jesse and Frank James were household names long before images of
America's most wanted were televised. For several decades after the
Civil War, they were hunted by hundreds who supposed them to be
involved in every bank and train robbery in the Midwest. Trained as
guerrilla fighters in the border conflict between Kansas and
Missouri, they joined with the Younger brothers in February 1866 to
rob a bank in Liberty, Missouri. That was the beginning of a
criminal confederation that seemed beyond the reach of the law
until the Northfield, Minnesota, raid killed three of them and sent
the James brothers into hiding. But they were the objects of posted
rewards that proved too tempting in Jesse's case: in 1882 he was
shot in the back by Robert Ford of his own gang.
