caption_attribution_description: The outlaw Robert Ford, who lived from 1860 to 1892, in an undated photograph by an unknown author reportedly posing with the weapon he used to assassinate Jesse James. It is assumed the image is in the Public Domain in the United States as Ford died in 1892, meaning the image was made prior to 1923.
context_page_description: Robert Newton Ford was an American outlaw best known for his assassination of Jesse James. He and his brother Charles, both members of the James–Younger Gang under James's leadership, went on to perform paid re-enactments of the killing at publicity events. Ford would spend his later years operating multiple saloons and dance halls across the West.
  Ten years after James's assassination, Ford was himself the victim of a fatal shot to the neck by Edward Capehart O'Kelley in Creede, Colorado, passing away at only 30 years old. While initially buried in Creede, his remains were later exhumed and reinterred in his hometown of Richmond, Missouri.
