Very interesting presentation. However, I noticed that Mr. Rodgers when "flipping" through the large book he did not use white cotton gloves to turn the pages. As a photographer I use those gloves handling my own negatives & important papers. I visited the Chicago Art Institute to view some of Ansel Adam's photographs & also Gertrude Käsebier's photos & was required to wear those white gloves to be able to handle the prints. So, this is just a presentation that concerns me about "archival" protocol. Thank you, Paul Labounty.
@minameise Thanks. If you are interested in when we do versus when we don't wear gloves, please watch this podcast on that very subject we made last August. Collections Up Close: Artifact and Rare Book Handling Thanks again for your interest!
Really?!! OMG!!! Cole, Bob, and James are my Great, great uncles!!! How amazing is that?!! No fooling! My Nana spent much her life studying our genealogy and between what she was able to dig up and the accounts of my Great Grandpa Young, (the er was dropped from the name in later generations, as the story goes) there's plenty of proof!
One of those letters to the governor looked like it was written in a similar fashion to letters written by my aunt. A straightedge is used for the upper portion of the script, then removed and the lower portion of the letters are finished off. Very arduous but the result almost caligraphic.
Thank you for the great information! Being a Younger, our family knew the stories growing up, but we never knew what happened after they went to jail. Mystery solved!
I Was Told My Great Great Uncles Wher Bob, Cole, and Jim Younger My Grandma My Told Told Me My Great Grandfather Was A Scout For The Younger And Jesse n Frank James I Was Told That The Last Pose Had Jessie Suronded Jessie Jump His Horse Of A Bridge In Dundgas Between Nothfield And Faribault My Last Should Of Been Hawkins Did Bob Had Jessie Gun When They Surrendered
Younger Brothers glad I found this. I’m a related Younger. I remember in first grade a teacher asked me if I was related to the Younger brothers. I had no idea. After school that day I asked my mom. She told me no. So I grew up my whole life thinking I wasn’t and answering ‘ no ‘ every time I was asked. Later , maybe my late 20’s , early 30’s , it somehow came out in a conversation with my parents that in fact , we were related to them. I asked , why did you tell me I wasn’t ?? Mom said because grandma Younger , my dads mom , was embarrassed !! I was actually a little annoyed that they told me I wasn’t , and I grew up thinking that I wasn’t. What bothered me was I felt like I was lied to , like finding out when you’re an adult , you were adopted. So then my dad told me some things about our family history. After all that stuff happened , from what dad said , it split the family up. And some Youngers left Missouri and went north to Chicago. Stoney Island to be exact , south side of Chicago. And that’s who I’m related to , Jesse Younger . And Jesse Younger was cousin to Cole , Jim and Bob. And my dad also told me that his dads dad , or grand dad , I can’t remember now , used to go visit Cole in the Minnisota state prison. So that would make him either my great grandfather or great great grandfather. Either way, I guarantee his name is on the visitors list in one of those books. Unfortunately , I’m still stuck in Chicago , lol !! Wanna hear some real irony ?? My dads dad , my grandfather , retired from the railroad !! Now that’s funny. A Younger working for the railroad !! He died when I was a baby so I don’t remember him. So if any Youngers out there who are related say hello. I think it would be neat.
@newagetojo :- Please do a bit of research on this subject and post your results. The replies to your comment are correct...most historical institutions now just require clean hands...not gloves when handling paper archives. When handling historically important firearms, it is still recommended that gloves be worn to prevent corrosion.
This is a very interesting video. I know about this part of Minnesota history as I know a great deal about Frank and Jesse James and the Younger Brothers. Thank you for sharing this. George Vreeland Hill
I think I remember reading somewhere that when Cole was captured, that he had something like 11 bullets lodged and/or struck into a leather bullet-proof vest he wore. Anyone else remember about that ? Also, in another movie I saw, one of the other outlaws was laughing at either John or Jim Younger because he had trouble eating, having incurred an injury to his mouth from bullets. Was this true ? and, was it John or Jim ?
I enjoy researching history and respect hsitorians very much. I appreciate you taking time to make this video....Funny thing and correct me if I am mistaken, But one of probably the top 3 at most 5 events in Minnesota history is when a group of our Southern Boys visited you to make a withdraw from a bank that was owned by a man who murdered one of our beloved Southern Soldiers? He was not in the bank at the time? "Unreconstructed" God Bless from Dixie!!
Sad that Cole youngers to younger brothers died before him. Why i say this is because 2 of my brothers have gone before myself. Must a been sad as well for Jim Younger losing his younger brother Bob too. Wonder did they get to attend Bob's funeral while they were there in jail. Have to find out if Bob younger was buried in the prison or was his remains buried outside with his family or realitives.
John Younger was killed March 17th 1874 in the Roscoe gun battle with the Pinkertons. I live bout ten miles from there. A lot of James and Younger history is here in St.Clair county Missouri.
also related to the younger brothers as my grandmother was tommie younger cousin of the brothers...she said she had difficulty finding jobs because of relation...
the03mach1 I’m related to Jesse Younger , cousin to Cole , Jim , and Bob. Did your grandmother leave Missouri ?? Jesse did leave to Chicago. Do you know what is your grandmothers relation to Jesse ??
Thanks. Very interesting to me because I live in St.Clair county Missouri. This is the location of the Roscoe gun battle between the Youngers and the Pinkertons.
Very interesting, I've seen some of the legal documents filed against the James Brothers from this time period in Montgomery, AL. It's amazing how well traveled bank robbers were, especially when one considers they were riding horses. For all the movie glitz, robbing banks has never been a way to make any quick and easy money.
My great grandfather was born in Ohio, was a First Sargent in Gen. Sherman's Army, migrated after the war by way of Kansas City to Dodge City, Kans. where he was sheriff a little while, but mostly a black smith. After traveling back and forth, moved just west of Flagstaff AZ, and eventually to San Diego, CA. If that wasnt enough, there is a record of him applying for his pension from the US Consulate General's office in Acapulco Mexico, as well as a letter from his wife Julia asking for him to come home. So, like you, I've often thought about just how much of the country he saw in his life time. I'm a trucker and have trucked in all 48 contiguous states and most of lower Canada. But I'd say great grandpa did his fair share of traveling in an age when it really had to be an adventure. Also, I read a self-published book out of Texas, written around the time of the First World War, by a man who, as a boy, was kidnapped along with his younger brother, by Indians in the 1840's, from the area between San Antonio and Austin. The brothers were split up, his younger brother going with Geronimo's band. They both wandered as far north as Canada, west into the Great Basin (Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada etc.). The picture he paints of these people is NOT very harmonious with the present-day rewrite of history, but it shows that even native peoples traveled far and wide too. So I guess in retrospect, for the Younger gang to go up into Minnesota from Missouri wasnt really all that far after all? Lol!
@@1allanbmw - Maybe not, I've traveled from Alabama to Los Angeles on I-10 a few times and up to Ohio by car. Beautiful drives but that's listening to the radio and stopping to eat and buy gas... By horse, I'd imagine the trips would've been a real adventure. Be careful out there and thanks for bringing all the stuff to the rest of us, sometimes we think it just appears on the shelves. Take care!
jeannettemarie1313 lol , I can understand. But I’m related to Jesse Younger , who left Missouri after Northfield and moved to Chicago , where I still reside. Jesse Younger was cousin to Cole , Jim , and Bob. Look it up !!
I don't handle rare documents but have heard gloves can do more damage than bare hands in some situations. Don't quote me on that. I think there are two "schools of thought" on it.
Oh c'mon. Minnesota has ...alot of history. I just happend thru here, because going to Northfield this weekend. But, I used the Minnesota Historical Society to trace the family tree. It was very helpful. Wonderful building in downtown St Paul.
My family is direct kin to the Youngers, my dad and uncle donated Cole's pistols to the Springfield museum in Missouri. Most of the old timers have passed on but I would really appreciate any copies of documents that you have. If you are interested to prove my case, most of my family are buried in the Younger Cemetery in Navarro county Texas.
Dannon awesome. I’m related to Jesse Younger , cousin to Cole , Jim , and Bob. My great , great grandfather would visit Cole in the Minnisota prison. Jesse left Missouri after Northfield and moved to Chicago , where I unfortunately still reside.
How could that picture of the brothers and sister have been taken in 1889? The brothers were in prison, and had been for many years. Did I miss something?
Robert Williams can you look up Jesse Younger ?? He was cousin to Cole , Jim , and Bob. He moved to Chicago after Northfield were I still reside. Would love any info.
Playing red dead online, and watching historical society videos. If mortality doesn't bother a person, being less than a witness statement in history has a certain uneasy calmness to it.
So, dudes jacket, (or "duster,") is being, "preserved," down in a climate-controlled underground vault somewhere in St. Paul, where it will rarely, if ever, be enjoyed by the eyes of man again, (unless that person is a curator themselves,) left to languish in perfect preservation as long as scientifically possible but for WHAT reason exactly?! If an artifact is just sequestered, hidden away somewhere, it kinda defeats the purpose of any preservation efforts lol doesn't it? If it's just kept out of the public, where it's effectively just taking up space never to be enjoyed or learned from!? How much of our collective History, not only in the United States but around the World, is packed away in a vault somewhere, where MAYBE once in a Century or two somebody will come along wanting to see the original? Preservation absent education is MEANINGLESS. You can't even claim posterity, really. If an artifact is made to last a couple of Centuries and is NEVER, during that whole time, gazed upon by the eyes of a curious soul.
The scars are listed in the official records but it wasn't explained. Cole said he had over six wounds from bullets but the records seem to list a great deal less than that. Can you please list the wounds and scars of the three convicts from the official records? Thank you so much.
I see a lot claiming to be related. I’m related to Jesse Younger , cousin to Cole , Jim , and Bob. After Northfield , Jesse Younger moved to the south side of Chicago where I was born. Still stuck here in the burbs. If you’re related say hello. Would like to hear from ya.
Cole Younger was the leader of the Younger gang, and unfortunately, he also has the distinction of being the only member of the Younger gang to die an old man. I hope the ghosts of his fellow gang members and their victims haunted him to his dying day.
The reason I'm still interested in the younger gang is that I know they robbed the bank in Huntington West Virginia which is not very far from my hometown I Williamson I. Williamson knew a younger there a few youngers and I was engaged to one at a very young age his father's name was James younger and his name was Larry Younger . I was wondering if they were related to the younger gang can you help me out any. Williamson West where the Hatfields and McCoys lived will the Hatfields anyway I went to school with a lot of them they were my teachers and my best friend married a Hatfield I never met him a koi ever we lived on the West Virginia side and the bridge went to Kentucky I was on the tug River where I lived never met a McCoy. Only new Hatfield
Thanks for the information on the three, I always liked the James/Younger gang, sad Jim killed himself,Bob dying in prison, Cole was the tough one, not surprised he lived the longest 👍🏻
Read the NEW book HISTORICAL HEADSTONES due out late October, 2018. It contains over 225 unknown photos of Frank & Jesse James and their relations, gang members and Robert Ford! AND several unknown photos of the Dalton Gang! You WILL be glad you did!
Some time during their stay in Stillwater they were made trustees and put in charge of the female prisoners......It seems like it was putting the foxes in charge of the henhouse but there you go.
That's great , , spend tax money to preserve killers clothing and records about how the murdered someone , convicted , sent to prison , then paroled . . . Not a dime of tax money spent towards the murdered people's funeral !!
Phenomenal record keeping and archiving. WOW!
I would LOVE to spend a week devouring over those archives..and the actual dusters! Omgoodness!❣
@@unconditionalsurrendertell9826 yes...I am a born Younger, and Belle Starr had a relationship with Cole Younger!

Spent some time researching in that library. Magnificent building.
Just BRILLIANT work. Thanks so much.
Back then hard lives, hard times, trauma of war, desperation, and the glint of gold, sure made some men do craze and terrible things.

I thought you were suppose to wear gloves when you handle archives.
exactly.
According to library of congress, gloves may actually do more harm than good. LoC recommends "clean dry hands".
newagetojo _____ Many archivists and historians don't use gloves anymore. Clean washed hands are better. The science has changed.

Read the NEW book HISTORICAL HEADSTONES due out late October, 2018. It contains over 225 unknown photos of Frank & Jesse James and their relations, gang members and Robert Ford! AND several unknown photos of the Dalton Gang! You WILL be glad you did!
I would love to go there someday look at all they have im a western nut and love all about James younger gang id loved to live them days
Little known fact: After being paroled from prison, the two surviving Younger brothers became the Older brothers.
OK, maybe not entirely factual....
I love true history
The Youngers sure do have a large extended family
Yeah we do
@@chaseyounger2355 bunch of us!❤
Interesting.
they should never have bean let out.
What would happen If a Descendent of cole younger wanted that coat what would happen?
No gloves???
I am related to them and have copies of their wanted posters on my wall at home 🖤
Some time during their stay in Stillwater they were made trustees and put in charge of the female prisoners......It seems like it was putting the foxes in charge of the henhouse but there you go.
Great video !!! Maybe the MN winters hurt a lot of the people in prison !!!!
That's great , , spend tax money to preserve killers clothing and records about how the murdered someone , convicted , sent to prison , then paroled . . . Not a dime of tax money spent towards the murdered people's funeral !!
Ty for the information, my family is blood related to the Youngers! And now im a n.azi hunter! lol
Same lol
Amazing how many of the commenters in here are 'related' to the Youngers.
