Jesse James in West Virginia or Inside the Huntington Bank Robbery

About the Book

Do not mistake this book as just another rehash of old news. What is presented within these pages is much shocking new information in the form of court records and many 1875 period photographs. It is the first fact-based, carefully researched account of how the James-Younger Gang actually operated and escaped capture by “looking for themselves” in a bona fide posse composed of KGC lawmen. This book was written by a descendant of the participants.
