Outlaw Frank James Letter By His Wife - Jesse James - Quantrill ' S Guerrillas
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1310821 |
Today Jesse James and Billy the Kid remain the best-known names from the days of Wild West Outlaws. In my opinion the greatest and most efficient outlaw of the old American west was Frank James, the older brother of Jesse. Frank was Intelligent, courageous and skilled in the art of guerrilla warfare from his days with Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson's bushwhackers. Of the members of the James gang, Frank was the most dangerous. A relative of Frank James said that he was the more col...d blooded of the two James boys: "If he said he was going to kill ya, he would kill you, but you could talk Jesse out of it." Frank James was not only a deadly gun fighter; the horsemanship of the Missouri guerrillas during the civil war rivaled that of the Comanche Indians. He was also smarter and wiser of the two James boys and believed by some to have been more the actual leader of the gang than Jesse.
