Күн бұрын

The James Gang is easily one of the most notorious groups of outlaws in American history. Having ridden with men like William Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson, the Civil War became a training ground for Jesse and Frank James where they learned the art of violence. In this episode, we're going to the location of the very first daylight bank robbery in peacetime and the jail cell where Frank James was held after his final surrender (www.jchs.org/1859jailmuseum).

Brother, thank you. I'm a life long Missourian and a Civil War history geek. My state was a particular kind of hell, a cauldron within a maelstrom. It burned with long simmering familial hatreds, with grudges that needed settling. The war here was so very personal; and so very long. 1854 to 1882 and still being fought, in some respects today. Thank you for telling our story.

You were just down the road from Winston MO. Where the James gang waited in a train tunnel and waited for the train to arrive to rob it and the station. The tunnel and bridge itself is actually still there just off the highway in the woods. Everything is still original. All that’s been removed is the actual tracks. My wife grew up in Winston and took me on a small hike to the tunnel for our fourth date. She knew I loved history and stories about outlaws during the Victorian era. Coolest thing to be standing in the exact spot Jesse James and the boys was so many years ago. Knowing the exact stones of the tunnel witnessed this moment.

@@TheHistoryUnderground A couple more tidbits of info, while it crossed my mind, it’s actually a train bridge (not tunnel) to allow the train to pass over a small creek. The town actually has a small celebration every year called “Jesse James day” I believe. You can actually tour the station but the bridge has been left somewhat neglected because of the lack of funding. According to history a young man lost his life during the robbery. I’m assuming Jesses gang waited in the far side of the tunnel furthest away from the road which is now a main highway. So they wouldn’t be seen by passerby’s. There’s also a really old cemetery across the highway close by. A lot of other really neat and almost forgotten stories in this area of MO. Take care watch for snakes if you decide to go to the tunnel itself. It’s said some locals help take care of that area because the state won’t.

Excellent video! I am a graduate of William Jewell College in Liberty. The college campus is about a mile to the east from the bank museum. Although Frank and Jesse did not attend William Jewell, the James family is tied into the early history of the college. Robert James, Frank and Jesse’s father, was a Baptist minister in the Kearney-Liberty area. When the college was founded in 1849, Revered James signed the charter for the college, along with other members of the Missouri Baptist Convention. His name appears on my diploma. Reverend James left the Kearney-Liberty for California in the early 1850s. It is not known if he was looking for gold or preaching to the gold miners. He died in California without ever seeing his family again.

It is amazing how much American forgotten history is involved in Missouri alone. Thank you for covering these "small"details everyplace you go. Keep traveling. Oh, among suggestions for ideas, rail road decetives during the late 19th and early 20th Century. Many were used by the treasury department and several insurance carriers. My great grandfather was William Stamper and even was featured in a newspaper in Macon. Mo. It was a big deal at the time. I had some skelton keys he and a partner used in an undercover bust.

The stonework in the jail and the wood floors,moulding and turned 4 poster bed are really interesting. The whole worldview and morality of that period in the western US is so complex. Im always amazed by the fluidity of the outlaw/law enforcement boundary. So many individuals were both depending on timing and location.

Would love a series on the American frontier. Learning more about the Natives and the settlers would be fascinating!

I live in Liberty. Man I sure wish I could have run into you while you were here. Its awesome to see you come to the area. If you get back this way, you need to check out the Civil War battlefield in Lexington, MO. It was known as the battle of the hemp bales.

Seriously fascinating jail. No public execution. But doing that in the jail would be hard on the prisoners. Like you, I could not believe that the child's bedroom was a short distance from the upstairs jail. Great video. Thanks.
