First Bank Robbery? Jesse James & the James Younger Gang

The outlaw Jesse James got his start during the Civil War as a young guerrilla, fighting with William Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson. He killed his first man at the age of 16 and continued doing so even after the war was officially over. Today, we’ll discuss Jesse’s rise from a mere bushwhacker to an outlaw as he and his brother Frank begin robbing banks and have their first brush with the infamous Pinkerton Detective Agency. Also discussed are Cole Younger, Clell Miller, and Little Archie Clement. #oldwest #western #wildwest #documentary #jessejames 🤠This episode is sponsored by ExpressVPN - http://expressvpn.com/wildwest 🤠Watch This Next!!!! ➡️    • Wild West Starter Package   🤠Check out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/ 🤠Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ 🤠Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/ 🤠Like this content?
