Photo of Jesse James. Our pictures are professionally done on Kodak type paper. This picture is a reproduction.

Perhaps the most notorious outlaws of the American West, the James boys were often portrayed as the Robin Hood type - revered by the poor and hated by the rich. Their long career of robbery and murder was highlighted by the great Northfield, Minnesota bank raid on September 7, 1876. Of the eight member Northfield Gang, the james brothers alone escaped - riding southward for 3 weeks, stealing horses, living in barns, moving only at night until they reached a relative's farm in Tennessee, where they lived quietly until 1879, when Jesse organized a new gang who held up the Glendale, Missouri train stealing $35,000. With a $10,000 DEAD OR ALIVE reward on their heads, Jesse was murdered on April 3, 1882 by Bob Ford, a member of his own gang, who claimed the reward.
