I'm from "Little Dixe" in Missouri and when you go to these counties along the river you will notice that some of the houses are southern style and the people talk like they are from the south. I moved to city now for last ten years so its kind of leaving me but there is still a twang there. Long live "Little Dixie"
Me too. Had the misfortune of moving to "Dutch Country" when I was younger and am still here. These people really don't get it. They think they are representative of Missouri and that the state was essentially settled by the Germans. Might as well be another state.
jesse james was a murderer and a thief. he claimed to be a confederate rebel and a robin hood figure but no evidence ever supported any other fact except he robbed and killed innocent people for money. If anyone TODAY would do this, you would wanna crucify him, but because you have seen some over exaggerated and dramatic movies depicting wild west outlaws everyone thinks he was some kind of hero. Jesse would have shot you and robbed you...and not felt bad about it, yeah great guy.
My second post and this regards the relatives comment. He had a lot of cousins. Families were big then and people married within their communities. My grandmother was a cousin and vividly remembered her father visiting Frank James in jail when he was awaiting trial. My grandmother, born in 1880, was a child at the time and a little ashamed to be related to one she considered a known criminal. Yet she was proud he fought for the South. Missouri was a strange place at the time.
Nobody really knows who he was. Frank James was never found guilty of any crime. Nor was Jesse, for that matter. He was murdered by the government. They were a political force in Missouri at the time and were a very few votes short of amnesty from the Missouri house. Jesse James father founded a small liberal arts college just outside of Kansas City that is still a well respected college. His grandson was on the California Supreme Court. Bandit? Patriot? Hero? Villain? Nobody knows.
Ok ! I'm a born and bred southerner and I've never heard of this, ,Sorry but tornados have been killing people in the south,this week and I can't concentrate.I'll come back to your site again!
@banner1835 This is not about a place called Southron as you're right that no such place exists. Southrons are a people. The word is ancient and comes from Scotland. Since large numbers of Southerners are of Scottish ancestry, the word was popular in Dixie in the 1800s. When the Southern States seceded the CSA government used the word to describe the nationality of the Southern people. It was also used in Southern literature.
@banner1835 lol....no kidding how can you make a good video and constantly get the name wrong. Maybe it's an inside joke or something, then again Jessie James is not the correct spelling as they put at end of intro
The James-Younger Gang was responsible for the deaths of 17 people, lawmen, detective agents, & local counterattattacking citizens.Jesse I believe is responsible of the deaths of 9 people out of that 17, I believe Frank James, Cole, Jim, & John Younger was responsible for a lot more, Clell Miller I believe was also a cold blooded, angry, vengeful outlaw/bank robbery/killer, but maybe was accountable for 2 or 3 deaths, one Missouri, one in Kentucky, & 1 at Northfield, Minnesota where gang ended.
Jesse was not with Quantrill in Lawrence, Kansas, he was 15 & still managing his mothers farm in Clay County, Missouri while Frank James & Cole Younger participated in the Lawrence Kansas Massacre, Jesse joined at age 16 in 1864 & 1865 under Bloody Bill Anderson, Jesse was a 2nd Lieutenant, Frank & Cole were Captains with Quantrill.
I am proud to say that Jesse James is one of my ancestors. Though he was an outlaw and a criminal, he was undoubtedly a man who stood up for what he believed in, and I have respect for that:)
P.S. I even have authentic photos of him that have been passed down through generations!
@szeretetesbeke Cool. Jesse's sister Sarah married my Great Grandfathers cousin, William Arthur Nicholson. Clay Co. Mo. William Joseph Nicholson is my Great Grandfather.
I am from Pakistan but always liked Jesse James due the fact that he was a revengeful person just like us and also like Americans, its a shame that bad foreign policies by American leaders have led many people to hate America
as a songwriter I write a lot about Jesse..Jesse James..Bound For New Orleans..Be Like Jesse James..just to name a few that also has a video here at my sites..and as you will see in the songs Jesse is always in Texas. Well the truth is Jesse got away bird free and ended up in Texas..those that don't know the whole story needs to find the real story and see what turned Jesse cold and why he was loved by the common man.
@totaljett LMAO! You're an idiot. The man was a hero, still is. I suppose you call Jim Lane a hero just because he was a Unionist? Nah, he and his ilk were cowardly murderers
@RedShirtArmy I have to agree with the previous poster. Jesse James was a cold blooded murderer. Even CSA Gen. Kirby Smith issued a warrent for his arrest. I think if you are looking for Southern heroes there are many others who would fit the bill better than Jesse James.
@totaljett Right, so a man who fights againts military occupation of his homeland is just a white animal. It must have taken you all day to think of that.
@totaljett Fuck off you muupet you know nothing about the great whit heritage and our couregeous people, if it wasnt for us you people would still be hacking each other to death in thick jungle over banana's, we gave your people ( blacks) a thing called democracy.
Because even though it was as little as possible, they still did it. If people can give me proof one way or the other, then I will think about it. All I can say is that he's labeled a cold blooded killer, but I don't want to call him that without legit proof.
Ok-so here's my view on it: I'm not sure which way to go, because he was a murderer and a robber and did tons of horrible things, but on the other hand, there was a story, that was proven true, of Frank and Jesse James helping a lady keep her house by giving her $900 (which they later stole from the man who she paid it to). I'm not sure which way to go, because I don't know enough about him, but that one line in the video about how they molested people as little as possible kind of disgusts me.
I read a lot of books about Jesse James & the Younger boys. I have about 6 books about them during their crime career & 4 books based on their Civil War life as teenagers fighting against the Union. Both families suffered dearly in the war & wrecked unimaginable vengeance later in their crime career. I feel their pain, suffering, anguish & saddness about them every time I read about them & Im from Michigan originally.
@myproduction1 damn im actually jealous man jus havin a real photo of him would be cool let alone be related and have photos of him with old family members
as far as names go lets not forget murderer slave owner adulterer thief gambler-he left his family destitute -his son had to take a job at a very young age to support them(from crittendens son of all people)-im from the south too-we dont need those kind of people
If you want to know about Jesse James, just watch the American Experience episode about him. Its an excellent documentary. However much I disagree with pretty much everything he stood for. His story is intriguing.
i have much more than than just a superficial knowledge of him -read researched every truth lie legend myth -some even almost convincing-his story answers something we seem to need -whatever rationalizations are necessary-some need it more than others-but those kinds are more interesting
the second part of what i was saying was not directed toward you. I was talking to the people on the site in general. but i did not make that clear i see.
i aint no kin to jesse but i am proud of him for his service to his country the C.S.A. & glad he gave it to the pinkertons for what they did to his family i hope he tortured the bastards. frank shoulda killed the whole ford family in vengeance
Fuck England and fuck you. Yeah he was a thug ass nigga but it was for a good reason.
Also I heard on unsolved mysteries Jesse James was not killed, it was some other guy they just wanted the reward so said it was Jesse James, kinda makes you think though
Maybe he wasn't a hero. Maybe he did commit many atrocities. However, there is one indisputable fact about this man and the number one reason why I admire him: he was the greatest and fastest American gunfighter who ever lived and it was said that no man could shoot him so long as he was in front of him. I honestly don't care if he was the Son of the Devil and should have been crucified. He was a hell of a gunfighter and died a legend.
@TheBudman770 who told you he was a great gunfighter...? impossible to know this u werent there, he was mostly a thief & a criminal more than a gunfighter.
Get "I Knew Frank...I Wish I Had Known Jesse" by Samuel Anderson Pence. It has a lot of details about the Families around Frank and Jesse. James', Samuel's, Cole's, Nicholson's and Younger's. Great photos too. My 2nd Cousin, 3 times removed, married Jesse's sister, Sarah Louisa Samuel.
The branch of my family that lives in Kentucky and Tennessee is closely enough related to Jesse James as to have an original of a photo of him and the gang. I have never seen it myself since I haven't ever been to that uncle's home.
God bless Jesse James! He died at age 34. Alexander the great dead at 32. Thomas Stonewall Jackson dead at 36. Im 31 and can not wait to meet my idols in the next life.
I figured Id be the only one on here saying that Im related to Jesse. Either one of you related to James Witherspoon? He signed the Declaration of Independence.
me 2 my grandma told me that she was the great granddaughter of the concubine of jesse, guess that makes me hs great great great grandson 2, and the fact that im asian lol
almost every cowboy out west after the war was a Confederate veteran. almost all the U.S. Cavalry were Union veterans. you can imagine the saloon fights!! Shiloh all over again.
To my knowledge there is no evidence or record of him as a rapist. Yes he killed people - he considered himself a guerilla fighter against the occupation of the South & the tyranical Reconstruction governments imposed upon Dixie. He had sypathisers all over the South and West for his campaign.
@Colton8646 There are 23 murders that lay claim to his name and they were after the war and he didn't have to resort to banditry to survive, thats the dumbest thing iv ever heard of. Jesse James was a psycho path who robbed and killed and didn't give a crap.
@road35 He was a physcopath, as all gunfighters had to be. Remember there is a difference between physcopath and sadist the latter of which James wasn't. Yes he did have to resort to banditry because he was hated already by them as he had rode with Quantrill gaining fame in the Lawrence "massacare" which Union apologists claimed was a murder of innoceny people, they never admit that Lawrence had been the heaquarters for the vicious Pro Union confederates who had murdered many southrons.
@Colton8646 I agree maybe he was a pyschopath lot of outlaws, gunfighters, & bank robbers were back then probably more then I think than now. But I can see why Jesse was a pyschopath, no father, stepdad was lynched in front of him, at 14 Jesse was bullwhipped to the point of insanity & lynched also, his house burned 2 the ground, Im sure those experiences can transform you into a pyschopath, especially after being a Southerner after the Civil War.
@MrDNK1981 Conpletely agree, however I think the outlaws back in the American West while far tougher than the criminals today, had better reasons for banditry. The Confederates throughout the war had shown themselves to be better soldiers than Union Battle of Fredericksburg, Battle of Chancellorville, Battle of Cold Harbour among others. After the American Civil War you had men good at fighting unemployed and so desperate banditry looked good to them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The reason he got killed was because he couldn't stop robbing banks. His brother tried to settle down and become a farmer. To Jesse that life was impossible. He was a thief and a murderer who died the same way he had killed many others. Shooting them when they were unarmed.
There's no evidence he ever shot an unarmed man to my knowledge. Hate him all you want but he was a resistance righter of a sort against the tyrannical Reconstruction governments imposed by DC upon the South after the Feds invaded and conquered Dixie.
there where many soldiers of this southern nation, families who had no part of the fighting/yet they was were tortrued by yankee's for no reason. my grandaddy join the southern army and yankee's took his brother capture for two week and they tortrued him-by hanging him by the neck,cutting him down-he knew nothing-this went for two weeks, before they let him go.he went home and die.this was very curel. this yankee nation has brianwash our childern and posion our soil.
Hope you know we love you for your courage Jesse. Your spirit has triumphed, no matter how many distortions are brought against you.
That said, you must have been a charming little monster in your youth. You would have been a mos remarkable person to have met in this period of history.
Oh!!! Excellent. He was a product of the times thrust upon him, for sure. Thank you for helping to shed some light on this man, for others will do good to learn about the "behind the scenes" story that hollywood and history have obliterated.
Often "history" as it is presented in the Federal Re-educational System, or by the Jewish Hollywood Mafia, has no relation to what actually happened, or why.

the legend is very interesting but how is he heroic, he was a murderer, a rapeist and a thief,
road35 3 years ago
To my knowledge there is no evidence or record of him as a rapist. Yes he killed people - he considered himself a guerilla fighter against the occupation of the South & the tyranical Reconstruction governments imposed upon Dixie. He had sypathisers all over the South and West for his campaign.

@road35 He was not a rapist. As for the murderr there is no murder in war, and as for the thief, he had to resort to banditry to survive.

@Colton8646 There are 23 murders that lay claim to his name and they were after the war and he didn't have to resort to banditry to survive, thats the dumbest thing iv ever heard of. Jesse James was a psycho path who robbed and killed and didn't give a crap.

@road35 He was a physcopath, as all gunfighters had to be. Remember there is a difference between physcopath and sadist the latter of which James wasn't. Yes he did have to resort to banditry because he was hated already by them as he had rode with Quantrill gaining fame in the Lawrence "massacare" which Union apologists claimed was a murder of innoceny people, they never admit that Lawrence had been the heaquarters for the vicious Pro Union confederates who had murdered many southrons.

@Colton8646 I agree maybe he was a pyschopath lot of outlaws, gunfighters, & bank robbers were back then probably more then I think than now. But I can see why Jesse was a pyschopath, no father, stepdad was lynched in front of him, at 14 Jesse was bullwhipped to the point of insanity & lynched also, his house burned 2 the ground, Im sure those experiences can transform you into a pyschopath, especially after being a Southerner after the Civil War.
MrDNK1981 11 months ago
@MrDNK1981 Conpletely agree, however I think the outlaws back in the American West while far tougher than the criminals today, had better reasons for banditry. The Confederates throughout the war had shown themselves to be better soldiers than Union Battle of Fredericksburg, Battle of Chancellorville, Battle of Cold Harbour among others. After the American Civil War you had men good at fighting unemployed and so desperate banditry looked good to them.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
The reason he got killed was because he couldn't stop robbing banks. His brother tried to settle down and become a farmer. To Jesse that life was impossible. He was a thief and a murderer who died the same way he had killed many others. Shooting them when they were unarmed.

There's no evidence he ever shot an unarmed man to my knowledge. Hate him all you want but he was a resistance righter of a sort against the tyrannical Reconstruction governments imposed by DC upon the South after the Feds invaded and conquered Dixie.

I don't hate him. He was interesting. But I don't exactly like him either.

Hope you know we love you for your courage Jesse. Your spirit has triumphed, no matter how many distortions are brought against you.
That said, you must have been a charming little monster in your youth. You would have been a mos remarkable person to have met in this period of history.

Oh!!! Excellent. He was a product of the times thrust upon him, for sure. Thank you for helping to shed some light on this man, for others will do good to learn about the "behind the scenes" story that hollywood and history have obliterated.

I'm related to Jesse James through his wife Zerelda...I've always been taught that he was a hero for the South.

Indeed he was. One of my best friends was named for him - he's also distantly related to Jesse.

Often "history" as it is presented in the Federal Re-educational System, or by the Jewish Hollywood Mafia, has no relation to what actually happened, or why.

The Federals have completely destroyed the good name of this Republic.
I am willing to bear arms for the Confederacy and make these Federals pay for their Zionist war crimes.
I say it's time to revive and restore honor to the good name of the Confederacy.
So say we all.
