I decided to read this book in honor of my grandfather, who I lost many years ago. He was always a die-hard fan of Jesse James. I remember, as a child, that whenever I was unable to complete a task, my Papa would come to my aid saying, “Let Jesse rob this train”. I knew that this meant he was Jesse, who was bigger and braver than me, and that he would finish the job for me.  I ran across this book on Amazon and I decided to finally see what all the fuss was about, all these years later. I was surprised to learn that Jesse James was not a product of poverty and poor parenting. Rather, he came from an affluent family and was well-educated. Actually, there were a lot of facts that I was surprised to learn about Jesse James. Larry Berg is a thoughtful writer. He takes the reader on a trip back to the Wild West, allowing us a glimpse into the world of Jesse James. Rich in detail, “Jesse James: The Story of the Famous American Outlaw in the Wild West Revealed”, captivates its reader. This book created such a vivid picture in my mind, that I felt I was a part of all the action. In short, this book a good read.
