THE OUTLAW THAT WAS KILLED BY AN OUTLAW

If there is one outlaw that stood out in the Wild West, that would be Jesse James. James is the leader of the James–Younger Gang. He gained sympathy because he was credited as the Robin Hood of the Wild West, stealing from the rich in order to give to the poor.

The James–Younger gang robbed banks, stagecoaches, and trains across the Midwest and in different states such as Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, and West Virginia. James died in 1882 when he was shot by his gang member and fellow outlaw, Robert Newton Ford. They are the men in this photo.
