At the end of the semester while my professor told us there might be some questions in the exam on famous American outlaw heroes, I get confused whose biography should I read. Jesse James was the name which came to my mind first. I just grabbed Larry Berg's this biography written on this American Robin Hood. Though this biography is the shorter one, it reveals the myths about Jesse and gets to the core of what he actually raised in, from where he came, and what he became. The book is interesting and informative as well. It is also written in easy language, which makes it convenient for any non-native readers. From the beginning to the end, I never lost my attention as it is flawless. This biography also focuses on the life and the eras of the James family with major highlighting on Jesse James. This book takes me on a short trip from birth until death of Jesse James; I really surprised to read how he grew from, but a mere cowboy into a full-fledged rebel with his own gang of robbers with no thought of taking a life to spare tire.Instead of being only a collation of realities and conjectures about someone who lived underground for his entire life, this beautifully written autobiography is a glance indirectly of how the United States went through the Civil War.I am really enthralled to know that how significant Jesse James's role was in the politics of that time.  Might in my exam I would find no questions about this Wild West outlaw hero, but I really happy to read such a remarkable biography on Jesse James. I would certainly recommend it to my friends and classmates.
