Sachbuch
Jesse Woodson James is an iconic figure in American history, often romanticized as a daring bank and train robber, a guerrilla fighter, and the notorious leader of the James–Younger Gang. Born on September 5, 1847, in Clay County, Missouri, Jesse grew up in a region known as "Little Dixie," where the culture and values were deeply rooted in Southern traditions. This upbringing played a significant role in shaping his identity and allegiances throughout his life.
During the American Civil War, James, along with his older brother Frank, became embroiled in the conflict, aligning themselves with pro-Confederate guerrillas known as "bushwhackers." Operating primarily in Missouri and Kansas, these groups were notorious for their brutal tactics against Union soldiers and civilian abolitionists. The brothers became followers of the infamous William Quantrill and "Bloody Bill" Anderson, gaining notoriety for their involvement in violent acts, including the Centralia Massacre in 1864, where numerous Union soldiers and civilians lost their lives in a bloody confrontation.
