Jesse
James is one of the most famous thieves from the past. Jesse was one of the
first people to rob a bank in the day light (James Biography). He was a
criminal for about 15 years. Jesse was born in 1847 and died 1882.He was A modern
day Robin Hood giving his gains to the poor (James Biography). He was married
to his First cousin and had two kids with her (James Biography).They say he was
shot at his kitchen table after eating breakfast by one of his gang members
also his guards because the heat was on him.
With Jesse James, there are a couple
conspiracies on how he died or if he really did die. Jesse James was a famous bank robber who was Fearless and
was not scared of anything.
He
started robbing banks for the money then he became money hungry and got greedy.
His first Robbery was for $60,000.00, his crew was a dozen men. Jesse was a
unique bank robber because he was the first criminal to rob a bank in the day
light (Jesse James). Jesse and his crew started
robbing banks because they needed
money because money is always an issue but then Jesse and
his crew got money hungry and wanted
more and more money. It even says that Jesse and his
crew stopped and moved apart and
Jesse could not stand it (Jesse James). He come out of
retirement and got a new crew
together and back to robbing when in reality he had plenty of money and could
of lived a comfortable life . Jesse acted out a lot I thought he
was a bank robber. Jesse was famous
for what he did.
Jesse
was not a very wise guy. He did not make wise choices, Jesse actually lost his
life
from robbing banks (Jesse James). If
he had not been a bank robber there would not have been a
price on his head. Jesses actions
affected others in a bad way he made
his living robbing Banks,
trains, Stagecoaches, and even individuals.
Jesse killed a lot of innocent people. Jesse had a bad
external conflict on others he was a
crook and killed many people. Jesse James in my opinion was a very
stereotypical man because when you hear that name you think bank robber but a
survey that
was done stated 50% of people did
not know who he was but the other half did. It seemed to me
that older people know exactly who
he was and younger generation of people were asked and
thought Jesse James was the
motorcycle builder. The question on the survey was” Do you think
James was killed by a crew member’? And about 50% of people said they think
he was killed by
a crew member. The other 50% did not
know too much about the bank robber Jesse James even
and who he was. Some say that Jesse
James was not really killed because the person that was
Buried was not the same height they
think it was staged and Jesse was still alive
(7 Things You May
Not Know About Jesse James.").
When I think of Jesse James he thinks Outlaw, bandit, killer and fearless. Jesse James was a very successful
robber for his time. Many years’ later people are still talking about him.
Jesse was driven by greed and unwise choices he did not know when to stop robbing.
One
is that Jesse faked his death, and lived for years under the name J. Frank
Dalton. ("Bison Bill's Weird West.") Jesse
was in a secret society “The Knights of the Golden Cycle”. They say that when
Jesse James faked his death that he went to Mexico and enlisted to smuggle
Emperor Maximilian treasure out of Mexico. ("Bison Bill's Weird West.")
Then, the Mexican Patriots killed Maximilian and his team and some Indians
found him and nourished him back to health (1) He was then transported to east Texas . He then and
transported his wife Carlotta to him And Jesse had got payed 5 million in gold
changed his name to John Maxi. (1). Jesse James then met up with him coins The
Knights of the Golden Cycle assisted Jesse James and was paid 12.5 million to split for helping(1)Getting
payed form Maximilian mad him a wealthy man and that is how he got the money to
fake his own death and skip town and start a new life. (1).
Another conspiracy theory on how Jesse James died is
that he was eating breakfast at his house and went to go take his dishes to
sink. A partner in his group shot him in the back and killed him while his wife
and two children were in the other room. Bob Ford, a new recruit in the gang,
was one that claimed to do the shooting (1) Also in the shooting was Bob’s
older brother Charley, also a member in James’s gang. Earlier that year, Bob
had a meeting with the governor to take down Jesse James for a reward. After
the Ford brothers said they killed Jesse James, they were convicted of murder
and said to be hung when the governor pardoned them for their crimes. (“7
Things You May Not Know About Jesse James.")
The public feared the Ford brothers because they
killed Jesse James, and they soon became traveling shows (“7 Things You May Not
Know about Jesse James."). The
conspiracy lives on Was Jesse James, the 19th Century outlaw really
killed in his kitchen or was it staged and someone else buried in his grave.
They claim that Jesse James then changed his name and moved to the country in
Missouri where Jesse and his family started a new life on a farm.
Jesse James there is a couple conspiracies on
how he died or if he really did die. One is that he faked his death. And lived
for years under the name J Frank Dalton. ("Bison
Bill's Weird West.") Jesse was in a secret society “The Knights of the
golden cycle”. They say that when Jesse James faked his death that he went to
Mexico he enlisted to smuggle Emperor Maximilian treasure out of Mexico. . ("Bison Bill's
Weird West.") Then the Mexican Patriots killed Maximilian and his team and
some Indians found him and nourished him back to health ("Bison Bill's
Weird West.").And then transported him to east Texas He then and
transported his wife Carlotta to him And Jesse had got payed 5 million in gold
changed his name to John Maxi. ("Bison Bill's Weird West.").
Jesse
James then met up with him coins, The Knights of the golden cycle assisted
Jesse James and were payed 12.5 million to split for helping ("Bison
Bill's Weird West."). Back in those days that was a ton of money that is still
a lot this day in time. Getting payed form Maximilian made him a wealthy man
and that is how he got the money to fake his own death and skip town and start
a new life. ("Bison Bill's Weird West.").Another conspiracy theory on
how Jesse James died is that Jesse was eating breakfast at his house and went

Jesse was an outlaw for about 15 years before he was killed. The conspiracy lives on. Was he really killed? Did he fake his death? Is he living a new life under a different name?
