Cannon Fri, 21 Aug 2009 13:04:25 +0000 #comment-103846 The Jesse James Gang was in the Indian Territory in what is now Bryan Co., OK. A story in the local newspaper there reports that they rode in one time and invited themselves to stay at a local preacher's house for dinner. The preacher was holding gold boulion for the local Choctaw Chief as he had heard that they were coming in to rob him. Unknown to Jesse, the boulion was buried in the chicken yard. One of the gang members asked the preacher if he had an money and he replied that he was but a poorly preacher and had no money. With that his young son said but "what about the money the money they were given". The gang member grabbed up the boy by his shirt to intimidate him into telling more when Jesse interceded and said, "We don't take pennies from preachers". With that Jesse made the gang member leave the dinner table and go outside apologizing to the preacher. Jesse also had a circle of friends there in the Choctaw Nation. There's also rumors that local folks took care of a gang member who had been shot nursing him back to health. The Jesse James Gang was in the Indian Territory in what is now Bryan Co., OK.

Otherwise, folks like us would not be interested in hearing about how they lived and how they died. The best movie ever made about these guys starred the Quaid brothers, the Carradine brothers and the Keach brothers. Brothers portraying brothers. The concept worked well for the movie.
