Description: Jesse James is one of the Wild West's most famous outlaws. Holding up banks and trains were some of the amazing things James and his gang did. Authors Carl R. Green and William R. Sanford explore the facts and myths surrounding this legendary outlaw.
Review Quotes: Outlaws and Lawmen of the Wild West series. These slight biographies "drawn from firsthand reports" combine known facts about Old West outlaws and lawmen with the many legends about their exploits, leaving questions about historical accuracy. Nevertheless, readers will be drawn into the books, especially when their subjects' lives overlap. These new editions have been revised and updated, including more dramatic covers. Many photographs appear throughout. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2009
