Jesse James: The Most Notorious Outlaw To Have Ever Lived | Wild West Documentary
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- The iconography of the old west wouldn’t be what it is today without the fearsome figures and various folk heroes both celebrated and reviled over the course of the last 150 years of American history. These iconic and infamous men and women range from belligerent bandits and the courageous lawmen that chased them down, to the cowboys and Indigenous Americans that took their turns firing warning shots at the other until the entire territory was rife with violence and sabotage, with a few peacekeepers and honorable heroes sprinkled in.
One such figure was none other than the notorious outlaw and former-soldier-turned-guerrilla Jesse James himself. Once the son of a Baptist minister and member of the Confederate Army, Jesse James transformed into one of the most discussed, complex, and undeniably popular figures of wild west lore, despite his violent tactics and unlawful tendencies.
Regardless of his countless crimes and affinity for trouble, Jesse James lived a life emblematic of so many ideas and themes saturating the way we talk about the old west into the modern age. In order to gain a better understanding of how the leader of a train robbing gang became synonymous with the term “wild west” and the focal point for the infinite pool of outlaws that followed him, we present to you a closer inspection into the tales and times of the most infamous outcasts in all of American history. This is Jesse James and his life spent in the shadows of Robin Hood.

They got nothing on the dutch van der linde gang
Thats right
Cause it only about jessie
@@user-jt1bw8xf8uyou understood that wrong he meant that the van der linde gang is better than Jesse James
The Dutch?😂😂 "Help us England the Germans are coming"
Just amazing how many people in the comments say they are related to Jesse James.
Lol foreal
Every other comment
Lots of people want to be related to slavers.
@@endermassa Does it hurt to be such a moron?
reminds me of pokemon
@@endermassaHell ya!
interesting little fact. if you scaled up the population to fit modern times there would be less crime than we currently have despite the reputation of the wild west being violent. It is more dangerous to be alive today than it was in the 1800's crime wise.
Very true. But there were alot of outlaws back then
Ide have to disagree, people in the 1800s never got caught unless it was getting caught red handed, they didn't have camera, gps locations on phones, DNA evidence, finger prints lol if you got caught commiting a crime back in 1800 you had a low IQ ngl
Well this is extremely skewed because many more laws exist today than did back then. Today anything is considered a crime and there is police activity everywhere. but back then police were less formal and organized and had less jurisdiction to arrest people.
@@BigPapaX23 It isn't skewed. you are more likely to get killed today by someone than you were in the 1800s even if you scaled up the population. it has nothing to do with laws.
It’s called the Wild West due to the lack of government and laws
This was a well put together and informative documentary. I don’t understand how you don’t have 1m subs by now …
Thank you! We hope you stick around for the day it happens. We'll be here!
Really enjoyed this story thank you 😊
FASCINATING. Balanced and informative with wonderful research. The narrative is excellent too.
My 3rd Great Grandfather James Gunn from Virginia was in the lumber business and was traveling looking for land and opportunity in Kentucky. At some point in his journey, he was ambushed on the road by the James Gang. He was an older man at this time and was successful. The story goes that they thought he was a yankee sympathizer because of his stage coach and dress. Great grandpa Gunn gave him some kind masonic hand signal as he was a mason. He also had a pocket watch that signaled he was a confederate. Jesse stated he would never harm a true confederate and let him go.
Remember, the CSA fought to preserve and expand slavery. The "states rights, lost cause" is an invention to make the horrific appear honorable.
This is so cool, has this story been passed on in your family?
@@horrorcastles yeah would be exciting to learn of a story like this in the family.
Jesse James was a product of Northern Aggression. Had the north left men like him and other Southerners alone instead of pushing us till we were forced to action, there would have been no "Jesse James's" or "Stonewall Jackson's". If you back anyone in a corner, most of the time, THEY WILL COME OUT FIGHTING. The Federal government has a long history of "Forced Compliance". It created men like Jesse James back then, and it will create men like him again. It's the government's fault that men turn this way. And if there is another Civil War, it will be their fault again. Plain and simple. Nuff said y'all
May he rest in p!ss
Another never mentioned fact:
(Not condoning sacking anyone/town)
Quantrill & those pesky Missouri ruffians always get a nasty historical blight for the Lawrence raid, but it’s never mentioned that that was retaliation for Jayhawkers burning Osceola, Harrisonville, Butler and multiple other towns, prior to Lawrence…
Doesn’t make anything “right,” but it does explain their actions and proves neither side were in the “right.” However, the victors write the history books? Just a little missing context….
its the foundation of the missouri kansas rivalry we see to this day in sports
Well, this just makes my day!
Very well done. Their take in some of those robberies was huge in today's dollars!
Incredible work. Thank you for doing all of that research and putting it together so well. Subscribed.
The level of research and effort you put into these videos is clear and phenomenal! Just earned yourself another subscriber, wish you the best of luck in growing this channel and I'm very much looking forward to any future content you have to give us on these kind of topics
We really appreciate the kind words! A lot of hard work is poured into these projects so the support means more than words suffice.
What year did "Brushy Bill" die??
@@footprintsofthefrontier can you please do a video of Jesse James stepfather "Mr sins" that was a time traveler who died in 1954 and managed to resurrect for a few moments to let his kinfolks know how when and where he died?
Hearing this story is amazing because i,m related to Jesse James
Me too!
Good documentary!
Great Documentary! Subscribed.
Very informative. Thanks.
I have family who live in Missouri. One of my cousins worked as a tour guide at the Jesse James house and another who graduated from Kearney HS
WOW! Had no idea he was once a Confederate Soldier 🤯
He wasn't a confederate soldier he was a confederate guerrilla. There were only two bands Of Guerrillas that We're both sanctioned and funded by the C s a Those being mosby's 43rd virginia Battalion and mcneill's rangers both were in virginia. While jesse james Fought against the union as a confederate Guerrilla. He was not a confederate soldier
He was apart of Quantrills raiders
U must be stupid then😂
Wrong! There were way more guerrilla bands than you named. They were designated "partisan rangers" During the War the partisan ranger act was repealed by the C S government and those troops were absorbed into the regular ranks of the CS Army. How do I know? My ancestor was a partisan ranger who rode with Phillip Dale Roddey & N. B. Forrest.
Thanks for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching. Take care and God Bless.
My family lives about 20 minutes away from the first site of a train robbery west of the Mississippi, committed by Jesse James in 1873. Pretty neat to stop by, as they preserved the rail Jesse broke to derail the train.
Jesse was my great X 6 cousin!!! God bless him!!!❤
And all the people he killed
He was a psychopath. Interesting character, but definitely nuttier than squirrel shit.
@@danielblackburn1241 You mean all the Yankees he killed.
The legendary James-Younger gang are the greatest outlaw's of the wild west. Jesse was so hardcore, from sixteen to thirty-four he live with bullets shells imprinted in his right chest, left arm and he had a blown off middle finger in his right hand. Every famous criminal after him wanted to be him. Good channel.
I suppose whether someone is a criminal or a hero is a matter of point of view, and which side your on.
Cause to us Southern people Jesse James is a hero, basically our version of Robin hood. A civil war veteran who took revenge on the Union by robbing their banks and trains
Jesse James and other confederate veterans did this, because the union made the South poor on purpose after the civil war. Not only were they looting and stealing from the South, but the railways were used exclusively to take the resources from the South for years. That plus the fact most of the war was in the South and the bloodiest parts of it were inflicted on southern people
Yes.Totally agree.May they all RIP
Guess you never heard of the dutch van der linde gang
@Truer words have never been spoken, My Princess! That's revisionist history. The South made themselves poor by being so conservative. An agrarian society that refused to part with their slave labor and sends all able-bodied men to war for four years isn't a recipe for success.
"Greatest" if you admire domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh.
I'll assume this post is made out of ignorance not malice.
Great and fair video. Thanks.
"I've done what I always said I would do.... die before I'd surrender."
Jesse James was a hero and a thorn in the side of the wicked
So true, They were devout primitive Baptist's bent on the destruction of the wicked Pinkerton detectives, who murdered his little brother and crippled Jesse & Frank's mother.
His parents were slave owners. 😅
@@JermaineWV there slaves chose to stay and work for his family after the war, I think that says something, not saying it’s right it’s not but things were just different back then it’s history we learn from it
@@Dylanmccutcheon747
1. Yes staying a slave after the war does say something. 40 acres and a mule was never given. Share cropping after slavery was not any better in fact probably worse. Says a lot about post slavery America.
2. “Things were different back then.” Is usually said when you want to keep your eyes closed to the things that were done wrong to a group of people. 🤦🏽♀️
@@JermaineWV Well we taught um to love Jesus and not to eat each other.
Nice documentary! Thanks for mentioning my great-grandad Arthur. But I'm not sure what is meant by "The Arthur McCoy outfit". I'll need to look into that.
Hey, Steve! Thanks so much for your viewership and feedback! The "Arthur McCoy outfit" was referring to the collection of outlaws that were said to have branched out from the larger James-Younger Gang, led by your great-grandad. It was rumored the Gads Hill robbery was led by the Arthur McCoy gang due to a reporting error in various local newspapers, until Jesse James and co. personally gave details to the St. Louis Dispatch for their publication on 02/02/1874. Here's a link to the edition!

I enjoy these stories and I share the same birthdays as Jesse !🎉
Same here ! 🎉
Mr Simms died in 1954? Dang, he lived a long life.
I caught that too. Thought I would peek at the comments to see others.
They made movies of these characters from Hollywood I think and showed on tv I've watched them very interesting!
Just because you shot Jesse James don’t make you Jesse James
Sir, a great narrative, and piece of history. Thank you for posting this video.....
Did I miss it or was the Pinkerton raid on Jesses Moms home mentioned? This resulted in the death of his half Brother and his Mom losing an arm. In those times it was very violent on both sides.
You missed it. It was there.
30:42
Both sides? It was one bomb lol. Pretty much asked for it at that point.
@@TheRealEclipse1killing a child? There is no reasonable reasoning for that

Superb documentary the research must have taken forever new sub for u 👍
Thank you, Alex! Welcome aboard!
7:15 if you listen closely he states that smith died in 1954 which he clearly meant to say 1854 but just thought id share that error😂
Is there anything more to the lineage of the younger family as I'm curious about the fact my great grandmother was realated not sure how but she was a younger and grew up with stories about all this but I'm vary thankful for this as it a far more accurate description of what happened to the farm house bye the Pinkertons and is something meny people leave out why they where driven to this life
It was called "Reconstruction" It was "I've got my boot on your neck."
An interesting fact about him was my great grandmother’s great great aunt, actually let Jesse James stay at her house for a few days, when he was wanted, hopefully not knowing he was. Because as far as I’m aware she didn’t get in trouble with the law. And he actually gave her his gun in fact he was in my family for a long time until a couple of years before I was born when my grandma sold it to one of my grandpa’s friends, for like 70 bucks or something like that. I remember she told me that was one of the biggest mistake she ever made.
Jesse was known to tote a S&W break barrel .44 Cal. Schofield Russian model. I doubt he would give that one away. Maybe it was another one he had.
He was always very careful about who he would let touch his weapon. He would always unload it and keep his hand on another pistol.
He loved children and teaching them how to shoot. I know where he hid out after the Northfield Raid in order for his wounds to heal, but I'm not telling.
How ironic, outlaws (the James Gang) being tracked by outlaws (Pinkertons).
The difference between jesse james and the pinkerton's. The pinkertons were funded and Paid for by the government and government aligned interests
DUTCH: OH BOY THE PINKERTONS OH HOW I HATE THEM
Appreciate the video and learned quite a bit, overall very informative. Had to laugh, though, at the mention of the Civil War era Battle of Lexington in Missouri, there was a painting of the Revolutionary War Battle of Lexington and Concord. It looks as if the editor just Googled "Battle of Lexington" and took the first image that popped up! 😂
Very pro union “facts” in the video also.
Interesting documentary about Jesse James. I decided to watch because I was thinking about purchasing the book Shot All To Hell, Jesse James The Northfield Raid And The Wild West Greatest Escape by Mark Lee Gardner. Supposedly I have some ancestors that rode with the James Gang and served with Cole and Frank in the Civil War.
That Shot All To Hell book is damn good! I owned a 72 Plymouth Duster waaaaaayyyy back in the day!😂
Is he the one George strait mentions in his song troubadour?
For those of us from this area who hear whispers from our elders about all of these stories and remember celebrating the James gang in local festivals this is our culture. Yes, we celebrated the James gang “cole younger days” in the 2000’s.
The Ford's were introduced by Ed Miller, not Wood Hite. The Ford's did not go with Jesse because of anything to do with their sister, Martha Bolton! Sources? Also, Bob Ford never turned himself in to Timberlake. You're confusing when Dick Liddil who turned himself in, and Bob helped setup the meeting. Nearly everything you said about the Ford's were incorrect. You probably shouldn't have just gone off of a movie.
I just saw a movie in witch Jesse was in a Saloon drinking Whiskey, playing cards and hugging prostitutes.
It's a known FACT, the James family were Primitive Baptist's, his Momma was religious and his Dad was a preacher, and his step-dad was an honest man.
@TheGuitarReb So, because parents are religious, it means their murdering son was a Saint? Lol. The Ford's testified under Oath about Jesse coming to their house, staying up late, gambling and drinking. Also, the Ford's father was a preacher at a church as well.
@@jaroddstansberry So you believe "The Ford's" OK I don't care.
I just happen to know of the James family and a guy known as Dingus. I know of his character, and where he hid out after the Northfield Raid.
I also know about him and Frank as school children and all about their Lady school teacher. I know what kind of children they were.
They rode with Quantrill's partisans, fought for the South and sought revenge for the murder of their little retard brother and Mother gettin her arm blown off by Pinkerton Yankees.
I know about the suffering endured by the South during the Re-construction and the genocide perpetuated on the American Indian. .
.
An interesting fact is that Jessie actually turned up for the John L.Sullivan/Jake Kilrain fight @ Richburg, Mississipi 1889. Rumour has it that Bat Masterson was Kilrain's timekeeper.
A fascinating bit of history trivia! Thanks for sharing, Michael.
Michael Higgs:Really?Not doubting u but where did u get the info from?
@@susanmccormick6022 ua-cam.com/video/sgaphoX4IY4/v-deo.html&pp=ygUPam9obiBsLnN1bGxpdmFu It was Paddy Ryan in 1882 not Jake in 1889.
Hate to be the one to spoil it for you, but Jesse did not live in till 1889. Died in 1882..
Seriously? Impossible!! He died 7 years prior...sf Joseph Missouri (Mr Howard) Jesse wasn't a good person, he was a robber, Crook, & Coward..
i know u don’t have time to cover every detail but i would like to add to anyone who reads this that the raid on kansas was because union troops famously k own as red legs who raided and murdered had many of the raiders sisters cousins wives girlfriends in a old two story make shift prison. it collapsed killing many. when the raiders got word they wanted revenge. when they approached the town that morning yankee soldiers were in camped outside around the town. they went after them. most fleeing on foot into the town.
Just one thing. The civil war wasn’t about freeing slaves
Who cares , 160 yrs ago
Jesse James was a real rebel soldier. 🙌🏻
Liked & subscribed. It is so refreshing to see something other than Wyatt Earp, Billy the Kid, & Jesse James. I always suspected that there was other noteworthy individuals.
We're happy to have you along for the ride. Enjoy!
Years after his alleged death Jesse signed a roll at a reunion of Confederate Soldiers & members of the Golden Circle.. How is that?
Thank you Jesse James the cause ain't lost yet
Me realizing that Rdr2 is just about jeeie James
Which is badass cause I only live 15-20 from kearney his birthplace
Not even close.
I've never heard or read that the gang burned 14 mills after the Minnesota bank robbery. This doesn't sound plausible giving how bad they were shot up. If this is documented where can I find it? Thank you for all your hard work in producing these videos. Always entertaining and sometimes I even learn something. Enjoyed.
Hi James! We agreed it was a bit far fetched, and should note the burning of the mills is a belief based on the change in the bank inventory as recorded here.

@@footprintsofthefrontier l've been a subscriber for a few months now, can't remember if I've commented or not but definitely enjoy your videos. I enjoy all things history. My favorite era is the bronze age in all regions. I will look up the above for sure. As you said subjective, so I'm a little bit skeptical already but maybe I will learn something new. It just doesn't seem plausible as they are wounded with a posse on their tail leaving a smoke signal for all to see. Maybe 1 but 14 ! As for sticking around I definitely will, thanks for the information and the invite.
He was a brutal murderer, but just like all things, if one is not actually present and living in that time, with all it's unknowable nuances, it's impossible for modern day minds to adequately understand Jesse James.
He appears to be wearing eye makeup in the photo with his Raiders cap - which is actually my favorite photo of him.
@@BlueBird-vi8vo are you responding to one of my comments or to Jesse Hutchins ? If you are responding to me I don't understand your comment in relation to mine. You have 2 comments like that. See Jesse J Hutchins comment obove mine I think your response maybe to him.

Omg, is this the origin of Team Rocket?!
They say historians are still looking for evidence of the outlaw's rumored talking cat to this day...
His grandparents came from Pembrokeshire Wales .If somebody has a named Christian name with an s on the end are usually Welsh or Welsh descent Jones ,Davies ,Williams Evans ,James ect even said St Patrick was Welsh.
Are there any known direct descendants. Of Jessie James. Living today
@7:11...1954? did you mean to say "1854"?
A couple corrections, sorry… But, Northfield was a secondary plan, the initial plans was a bank in Mankato, which they didn’t feel good about and they changed to Northfield. And you said Jesse was shot in the thigh… that was Frank. Jesse was the only member not wounded. Good show though.
True! That Bonehead plan to Rob 2 Banks simultaneously came from Cell Miller...He consisted the Swedish people/ " jarhead" farmers ignorant & unsofisticated...but they actually smarter the the Jame gang..( Sept, 1876)
When I worked in Wyoming, I often heard about the gang hiding out in a desolate little town called Baggs, which is in the high red desert. Anyone who knows whether it's a true historical part of this story?
I'm curious as to why. Nothing was mentioned about one of their favorite hideouts. Meramec caverns near Sullivan Missouri. They were known to have used the caverns for many years off and on.
Thank you for watching! While the Meramec caverns hold a unique role in the legend of Jesse James, we weren't able to fit everything into the documentary. The historical proof to support the theory that the James gang used the caverns as a hideout is lacking.
However, it is much more likely the caverns were visited by James and company during the Civil War era when they were used as a saltpeter plant by the Union Army. Confederate bushwhackers found and desecrated the plant, and its thought James and Cole Younger were of these guerillas.
It's all fascinating history nonetheless!
Well if they'd mentioned about their famous hideout, then it would No longer be a secret hide out right?
Apparently according to my grandma Jesse James was my distant cousin
Hey Fam
I wonder if Rockstar got inspiration for Red Dead Redemption 2 from James and his exploits (specifically the Northfield Bank Robbery - it feels like the Saint Denis bank robbery paralleled that to some degree)
While Jesse James most certainly inspired bits of RDR2, Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch is actually the more influential frontier gang on the game's development and plot! If I remember correctly, they were pushing fans to watch the 1969 classic "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" as a companion piece to their RDR2 play.
However you might be right in regards to the Saint Denis/Northfield connection. We hadn't thought of that before!
My baby sister has been working on our family tree and come to find out he's a distant relative. I couldn't believe it 😭

As a Tennessean i am very pleased to hear that Jesse James was a fellow Dixie, his brother really gave it to those Yanks.

Jesse James Great grandfather, William James was from Wales, his grandmother was from Devon. Not sure about your Scottish link?
Only Scot's DNA would be mean and hard headed enough to become a Jesse James.
I know because Grand daddy was Scots/Irish.
R.I.P. BIG DOGG 💫🙏💫
not sure as to the validity of the claim, but i remember more than once as a child, being told that somewhere along the line, Jesse James was in our family tree, but again, not sure how valid the claim was, or where/how he was related
Mr Sims died in 1954? We should all be so lucky to live over 130 years.😂
sometimes when im in the woods where i live i sit back and think jesse james and many legends of great and bad men walked on this same dirt through some of these same trees. shot and killed men in this area.
Very proud to say I was also born September 5
"Reconstruction" was a horrible lawless time in the Southland. Jesse was 15 not 16 when he joined his older brother Frank in the War effort. The family were devout Baptist's and Jesse was known never to swear, curse, or drink alcohol.
Jesse James was a true Southern Patriot. War can do horrible things to a young person who is still partly an adultescent and not yet a grown person. Jesse James and family were victim's of their era, infused with the vile hatred and violence of War.
The victorious write the history and the vanquished are vilified.
Can’t be victims if you owned human bodies
@@JermaineWV Anyone can be a victim.
Read your Holy Bible!
@@TheGuitarReb Yes anyone can be a victim. But Jesse James family definitely wasn’t.
@@JermaineWV I saw on the news this morning a guy opened his front door and a trigger happy cop emptied his 9mm pistol into him killing. I would say that was a victim.
The way you casually said he fell in love with his first cousin 😭 I know back then it was normal but geez
It's amazing not only is he an outlaw, but his stepfather secretly owned a delorian and crashed in 1954 but managed to let his widow and stepchildren know the exact location ehat he was doing at the time and year!

It was st joseph mo Buchanan county
Crime was so little that it was big news that lasted through history.
Came to think on - SNAKE EYED KID
Oh I highly believe that the fact that there was less violence back in the 1800s is because everyone had a gun
I've read quite a number on books on Jesse James. It's a shame quite a number of people still romanticize him. Don't get me wrong he's had reason for a few of his actions, Pinkerton's killing his half brother and taking off his mothers arm/Unionist almost hanging his step father and beating Jesse at a young age to get information on the whereabouts of his brother. But in the end he was a cold-blooded killer.
Yep agreed. I live south of Northfield Minnesota and never understand the romanticism of him. They even have Jesse James days...
@@patrickdolan. I live South of Northfield, way South. I do understand.

Like one of the comments said it didn't mention the meramec caverns also they didn't mention Utah they were in cahoots with the knights of the Golden circle the KGC and the Masons and there's no mention of Queen Victoria there's a lot not being said in this video just look up Queen Victoria and the civil war, also look up oak Island civil war gold they talk about rocks with all kinds of symbols that connect the Masons with Jesse James and the Golden circle.
