“Jesse James was a lad ,
Who killed many a man

PROLOGUE
Of all the legendary characters of the
American West, few have attracted so much

of crime. A year after the war they robbed
the

two children, Jesse Edwards and Mary.
She was buried in the same grave alongside
her man. Jesse reached his Waterloo
in 1876 when his gang tried to rob the bank at North
