Review: Short, but informative. Opens doors to more knowledge.

I loved reading this book and I’m not one who’s big on history. It was really attention grabbing and gives you a lot of knowledge in a way that sticks with you. The book outlines a lot of bad things done by Jesse James and the gangs that he was in, but then mentions that he was sometimes seen as a real life Robin Hood in a time of war. It gives his life story, from his birth to when he disappeared from the maps under a false name and up until the deaths of him and his brother, Frank. I’d definitely recommend this book to those who are in middle school (6-8th grade) and above because it does cover some harsh subjects briefly, such as rape and murder. Jesse and Frank James were born in the harsh times of the civil war, and a lot of their lives were spent fighting to survive.
