Jesse James, My Father

Jesse James, My Father

by Jesse James, Jr.

This biography, written by Jesse James' son, Jesse James Jr., provides a personal glimpse into the life of the notorious outlaw. It focuses on his childhood, his experiences as a Confederate guerrilla during the Civil War, and his life as a wanted man after the war. The book offers a somewhat biased perspective, highlighting the father's heroism and minimizing the criminal aspects of his life. It presents a fascinating but subjective account of Jesse James' story, emphasizing family and loyalty rather than the controversial details of his outlaw exploits.
