Brothers Jesse and Frank James terrorized banks, trains and payrolls in the 1870s and '80s. They have been credited with the first day time bank robbery in American history. The Pinkerton Detective Agency had a run for it's money chasing the James boys from state to state.
Among the James Gang were the Younger Brothers. Other gang members came and gone. Below you will find photos of the James' and the Youngers plus the women in their lives and some of their victims. I call this, "The James Family Album".
Jesse's favorite weapon. His Scofield revolver.

Mr Ed - I have a picture like the one you have posted called "Jesse Hideout". Your web picture has details not showing that my picture does. Can you please tell me who the 3rd man on the right is that is sitting on the rock? - Thank you - rhunleysr@comcast.net
I have a picture of Jesse James' mother and home. What do you thing it is worth?
Hello Karen ~
I do not know what the photo would be worth. I would have to see it. However, some on other Jesse James sites may be able to answer that question. Sorry I couldn't help. Ed ~
Andrew ~
I will post the e-mail addresses that you sent on the blog. Possibly someone out there may have photos for you. Good luck. Ed ~

I do not see a 3rd person in the photo. This picture may be cropped and your's has that other man. Sorry I can not help. Ed ~
Hello Ed,
My name is Michael (Mike) Albright.
Jesse is my first cousin 3x removed. His uncle Jesse Richard Cole (Jesse James namesake and Zerelda's brother) is my 3rd great grandfather. JR Cole's daughter Sarah Jane Cole (my sister's namesake) married Joel Albright.
The first picture you have of Jesse's mother is actually Zee Mims, Jesse's wife in her mid-forties or close to that. The picture that says Jesse and his mother and sister is actually Zee with her children Jesse Jr. and Mary.
On a side note, the dresses that Annie James and Zerelda sitting in the rocking chair were made by Annie. In Frank's trial a sewing machine he had bought for Annie was brought up and questioned on how Frank could afford such an expensive machine. Kind of a funny thing to bring up during a trial.
Excellent collection of photos all in all.
