Because my children are also related to him and Frank on their father's side of the family. John James, It is ironic that you say you are related to Jesse James.

I am a relation of Jessie and frank James. I also am the spiting image of frank James in some pics that I have seen( I look just like frank James in the the famous Jessie and frank James bank robbery wanted poster. people mistake it for me and think its one of the photos you can pose for at the fair or an amusement park. lol and I have a few resemblances to Jessie James. and whats freaky is my father looks almost exactly like Jessie James's grandson. To the tee. So any new pictures that have not been seen before would be interesting to see. To the poster that has a picture of the James and younger gang that would be interesting to see.

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.
