- He was just a teenage, Missouri farm boy when his world was turned upside down by the viciousness of the Civil War. Soon enough he and his brother came under the tutelage of Bloody Bill Anderson who taught Jesse James how to be a stone cold killer. This is that incredible story.

Great job, Jesse was a product of the times.
All the violence, trauma and destruction these people lived in and died by. All of it is so sad and tragic. Thanx for the history lesson.
I could listen to this man tell stories for hours.
Thanks, Bob Boze Bell for sharing this fascinating History lesson on Jesse James.
It would be a good thing to tell the border war between Kansas and Missouri.
The attack on Lawrence was a retaliation for similar atrocities in Missouri.
I don’t have a dog in that fight, but found the larger story interesting, in contrast to the lone story of the event in Lawrence
Those Missouri Boys were tough, they had to be. Great History lesson Bob Bose Bell , Thanks.
My Grandma turned me on to True West magazines in the 50s.Great stuff.
Great to see you posting. Love Western history Sir keep it up
Thanks, Bob, and TWM team
A great orator.
That's so cool. I never seen that early portrait of Jesse. He was one of my favorite outlaws of the wild west. I know the ballad by heart and i actually met and worked with someone who is a cousin distant cousin of Jesse.
And who can blame him after all the cruelty he has seen?
Bob! Glad to see you back, what you took so long, great video as always.
Hey Bob, it's pronounced Karney. Thought you might like to know. Love your videos.
Thanks so much for sharing the video.
Great stuff Bob we look forward to your next ,

Bob, Great to see ya in the neighborhood! Sorry I missed you.
One of the train stations held up was the Selsa station
In fact, it was ( they believe ) robbed so many times none of the regular folks would utilize it. Goodbye to that train station.
Good to hear ya still quite active.
Best wishes !!
😧 Incredible story, Bob! Gory, for sure. Yet, good storyteller that you are, the most incredible statistic was the closer! Wow.... 😎✌️
Wow! this was deep. 👍🏾 🤠
Love your videos!!!!!!
Excellent
Awesome job 👍👍
I have always wondered if Frank and Jesse and the rest of the gang suffered from PTSD for the war. Though from what I read little was known about it back then and I guess as far to my knowledge there wasn't anything could be done for it. I know that doesn't excuse the crimes they committed or the things that they did just something that I was curious about?
Enjoy your stories and information, Bob...Wish that you would do more in a month?🤠
Awesome, exactly
You definitely get the sense that pound for pound, the guerilla war of Missouri/Kansas was far more nasty and bloody than the battles in Virginia because it was so personal with neighbors literally massacring each other and they didn't believe in the rules of war.
Bob's video are extremely interesting.
Wow, very interesting...
Good story as always! My dad's side of the family reside along the Kentucky/Tennessee border. Banditry and brutality was commonplace during the civil war. I've heard a lot of stories but none are documented well. I'd be curious as to what is true. Maybe you can enlighten us in the future. Best wishes.
Champ Ferguson was a deadly guerilla during that time, too. He operated in Tennessee.
I wonder what became of Bloody Bills head???
What do we know about the ambrotypephoto of Jesse Woodson James? Where did it come from, what year was it taken, and what connection does the Golden Collection have to the photo?
I remember when you were a de-jay in Scottsdale in the late 80's early 90's??
Wow!
Archie Clement(s) should get a lot, if not most of the credit.
They were the MS13 of their day.
Love your channel sir! Watching from Australia.
Question: was the town of Centralia the same town that disappeared from a coal mine fire?
Thanks mate 🤙
No, there are several cities named Centralia in the states. This story took place in Centralia Missouri while the mine fire was in Centralia Pennsylvania. G'day Mate.
@@FrankMuchnok great thanks for clarifying.
I enjoy your video's. But I'm sure you know there are alternative facts for key parts of your story. And they sound just as plausible
Hi Bob, I'm confused...you say in June of 1860 Jesse was 12, his older brother was 16 and his sister was 12. Did Jesse have a twin? I thought he had a younger brother who died in the Pinkerton raid on their house.
Can’t forget Archie clement !
Agreed.
Became clark and kgc.
What is notable is that most of these people, on both sides, used religion as a justification for their horrible behavior. Same God, same Bible used to justify their abhorrent actions. Jesse's real father was a Baptist preacher who disappeared in the California gold rush of 1849. Somehow nothing changes even today. Folks want to get just enough religion so that it doesn't interfere with their sinnin'. My great-great grandfather was given to tell people in his little town that there weren't nobody in the town but drunken Baptists, lying Methodist and wimmin' chasing Campbellites. He allowed he wanted to be a Catholic because they did it all. Needless to say, his social circle needs a small campfire to stay warm. As someone who played around Frank James grave in Hill Park I love these tales, Bob. P.S. Fact! Frank James was cremated and his ashes were posthumously put in his wife's grave. Good and accurate story, Bob.
Well that dirty little coward that shot Mister Howard,He laid poor Jesse in his grave.
C S A Hero
Anderson sent that train to Hell
The cruelty of the north is what I blame for Jessie's outlaw ways.
There is know doubt he was a cycopath .
Jessie James was a 33 degree freemason.
Is it possible that Jessie was accidently drop on his head as an infant and went psycho? Inquiring minds wanna know.
Do you all think these barbarians had trouble sleeping at night ????
Pinkerton threw a explosive in with Mother James .
I've Wacked some Bush back in My Day
I,don't wack the bush,,I get in..and then I beat it up..
Maybe the cat was Sylvester
