A biography of Jesse James as told by his son, Jesse James, Jr. We are treated to inside tales of Jesse’s childhood and home life; what drove him to become a Confederate guerrilla during the Civil War; his life after the war and how he became a wanted man.

Since it was written by his son, it is a little biased and we are not told anything about any crimes Jesse and his gang committed. Some of the stories of Jesse’s war adventures are a little hard to believe, but a good read nonetheless. – Summary by Barry Eads
