Jesse James by T J Stiles
Jesse James began at 16 to fight alongside some of the savage Confederate guerrillas. In the bloodshed that followed Civil War, we see James and his fellow guerrillas, with their gunfights and holdups, become part of the brutal struggle by the White South against racial egalitarianism and Federal power fostered by Reconstruction.
