Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H. H. Lomax never intended to accompany Jesse James on his first bank robbery, but that was less dangerous than staying with Ma James and her frying pan. By then, though, young Lomax had survived everything Union soldiers and Confederate partisans could throw at him and his family during the Civil War in northwest Arkansas. With his sixth sense-humor-the resourceful Lomax recounts his Civil War adventures, ranging from his first encounter with nemesis Jesse James to his first love. Along the way he finds a fortune, buries a brother, confronts the meanest bushwhacker in Arkansas and survives on his wits with a little help from an abandoned Army mule. Conveying his narrative with both wit and poignancy, Lomax offers a fresh perspective on the legend of Jesse James and the dark days of the Civil War and its aftermath in the Ozarks. Things might have turned out differently, if only Jesse had listened to Lomax. At least that's what the rascal Lomax says as one of the greatest storytellers-or most accomplished liars-of the Old West

This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful novel of the infamous Western outlaw and his killer: “The best blend of fiction and history I’ve read in a long while” (John Irving). By age thirty-four, Jesse James was already one of the most notorious and admired men in America. Bank robber, train bandit, gang leader, killer, and beloved son of Missouri— James’s many epithets live on in newspapers and novels alike. As his celebrity was reaching its apex, James met Robert Ford, the brother of a James gang member—an awkward, antihero-worshipping twenty-year-old with stars in his eyes. The young man’s fascination with the legend borders on jealous obsession: While Ford wants to ride alongside James as his most-trusted confidant, sharing his spotlight is not enough. As a bond forms between the two men, Ford realizes that the only way he’ll ever be as powerful as his idol is to become him; he must kill James and take his mantle. In the striking novel that inspired the film of the same name starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck, bestselling author Ron Hansen retells a classic Wild West story that has long captured the nation’s imagination, and breathes new life into the final days and ignoble death of an iconic American man.
Book Synopsis The Many Faces of Jesse James by : Phillip W. Steele
Download or read book The Many Faces of Jesse James written by Phillip W. Steele and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 1995-06-30 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Not only does this new book record a factual story of my great-grandfather Jesse James in print, but also helps the reader get to know Jesse's true personality and appearance. A great contribution toward separating facts from folklore and provides a guide for any future photo identification work." --James R. Ross, Superior Court Judge of the State of California, great-grandson of Jesse James A name well known to most Americans, Jesse James was a veteran of the Civil War, a bankrobber, and a very romanticized popular hero. Although James has been the subject of countless biographies and historical novels, as well as the theatre and cinema, new light can still be shed on his life. In The Many Faces of Jesse James, author, the late Phillip W. Steele, with George Warfel, presented a fascinating study of James' life using his many portraits as a frame of reference. Steele took each documented photograph of James and examined it closely, showing how the dress, demeanor, and physical well-being of James relate to what scholars believe him to have been doing at the time. Since the possibility of more actual portraits and photographs of James exists, Steele explained the process George Warfel has devised to accurately identify Jesse James, even including a group of "false photos" of James to illustrate his point. Fans of James-Younger gang lore will appreciate this fresh, yet practical approach to understanding this enigmatic historical figure. Readers for whom Jesse James is only a name will no doubt become more knowledgeable about the complex circumstances that led the outlaw to lead the life he did.
Download or read book Jesse James written by T. J. Stiles and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2004 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stripped of the familiar myths surrounding him, Jesse James emerges as a far more significant figure: a ruthless, purposeful and intensely political man who used crimes and notoriety to promote the Confederate cause during the bitter decade that followed the South's surrender at Appomattox. Stiles paints a strikingly new and vivid portrait of the period before the Civil War, during the conflict and its aftermath, both nationally and, more specifically, in the divided border state of James's Missouri. There the great issues of the day were expressed in battles between those who aligned themselves with North or South. Jess and his older brother Frank, sons of a pro- slavery preacher who died in the California Gold Rush and a ferocious Southern mother, served with some of the most savage Confederate guerrillas. At 16, Jesse began his fighting career by killing Unionists neighbours on their doorsteps. In the bloodshed and bitterness that followed the war, we see Jesse and his fellow guerrillas, with their gunfights and hold- ups, become part of the intensely brutal struggle by the White South against the racial egalitarianism and Federal power fostered by Reconstruction. We see how Jesse placed himself squarely in this context with his thirst for attention, his partisan pronouncements and his alliance with a rising ex- Confederate newspaper editor who helped shape Jesse's image for their common purpose. In using violence and the news media to promote a political cause, Jesse James was neither a Robin Hood nor a quaint Wild West figure. Rather, as his life played out across the racial divide, the rise of the Klan, and the expansion of the railroads, he was a forerunner of what we have to call a terrorist. With groundbreaking scholarship and dazzling reinterpretation, T. J. Stiles has refashioned one of the great legends of American history, offering brilliant insights along the way into both the nation and the man.

Betrayed by their faith, they romanticized the rebel outlaws who roamed the countryside: John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson ... the common people hail Jack Carpenter--moonshiner, hell raiser, and third-rate bank robber--as a latter-day Jesse James sent to deliver them from the scourge of banks and other 'vested interests.' When Jack tries to live up to his own myth, he sets out on a path leading to both tragedy and redemption"--

Book Synopsis The Jesse James Scrapbook by : George Jansen
Download or read book The Jesse James Scrapbook written by George Jansen and published by Fool Church Media. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesse James is, all these years later, one of the most famous American characters who has ever lived. Not only an American paradox, James is a symbol of "the haunted stillness" of a post Civil War America, scarred for life by "that terrible conflict," the bloodiest battle ever experienced on American soil.

George Jansen has successfully written a provocative and entertaining work of fiction worthy of the true legend of Jesse James.

Michael Dadich, award-winning author of The Silver Sphere When a Harvard history professor receives a thesis paper titled Jesse James and the Secret Legend of Captain Coytus, from Ulysses Hercules Baxteran underwhelming studenthe assumes the paper must be a prank. He has never read such maniacal balderdash in his life. But after he calls a meeting with the student, Professor Gladstone is dismayed when Baxter declares the work is his own.

It is 1864 as philanderer and crusader Captain Coytus embarks on a mission to avenge his fathers death and infiltrates the Confederate Bushwacker posse looking for the man responsible, Jesse Woodson James. Accompanied by the woman of his dreams, Coytus soon finds himself temporarily appointed to be the sheriff of Booneville and commissions his less-than-loyal deputy to help him carry out his plan. But when tragedy strikes, the Captain is forced to change his immature ways and redefine his lofty missionmore or less.
