GADS HILL was his plan in my opinion. I’m sure there was much arging over leadership ,but I believe Jesse did alot of the planning. GADS HILL was his plan in my opinion.

The real fact is decisions were made by concencous . To believe that men like Cole Younger, John Jarrette , The Sheperds and Arthur McCoy would take directives from a much younger and less experienced member of the gang like Jesse, doesn't make sense. These men were leaders during the war, Jesse and Frank were not. The references to the Jesse James Gang is ridicilous.

I was there one summer and my friend's adult brother asked if we would like to see where Jesse James commited his first train robbery. Of course we did. We drove over to Gads Hill, about a 15 minute drive. Right there along the road was what he called the old Gads Hill saloon. It had the big billboard style sign on top and looked just like an old west saloon. The words "Gads Hill" were still barely visible in big block letters. It was supposed to be the actual building where the robbery occurred. The rail tracks ran right behind the structure. The swinging doors were missing and at that time someone was using it to store hay. It was all quite interesting. A couple of years ago I drove down to see if by chance it was still there but it was gone. So sad. If an entreprenuer had had the foresight to acquire that building many years back what an interesting piece of history it would have been to visit.
