QUESTION 31-40

1 Jesse James (September 5, 1847-April 3, 1882) was an American, outlaw, gang leader,
bank rober, train robber, and murder from the state of Missouri and the most
famous remember of the James-Younger Gang. Already a celebrity when he was
alive, he becae a legendary figure of the wild west after his death. Some
5 recent scholars place him in the context of regional insurgencies of ex-Confederates
following the American Civil War rather than a manifestation of frontier lawlessness
or alleged economic justice.

Jesse and his brother Frank James were Confederate guerrillas during the Civil War.
They were accused of participating in atrocities commited against Union soldier.
10 After the war, as members of one gang or another, they robbed banks,
stagecoaches,and trains. Despite popular portrayals of James as kind of Robin Hood,
robbing from thevrich and giving to the poor, there is no evidence that he and his
gang used their robbery gains for anyone but themshelves.

The James brothers were most active with their gang from about 1866 until 1876,
15 when their attempted robbery of a bank in Northfield, Minnesota, resulted in the
capture or deaths of several members. They continued in crime for several years,
recruiting new members, but were under increasing pressure from law enforcement.
On April 3, 1882, Jesse James was killed by Robert Ford, who was a member of the
gang living in thejames house and who was hoping to collect a state reward on
20 James’ head.
