Jesse James Quotes Click here for Jesse James books The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford "Just able barely to mount a horse and ride about a little in the spring of 1866, my life was threatened daily, and I was forced to go heavily armed. The whole country was then full of militia, robbing, plundering and killing." "On the 21st of the same month I surrendered at Lexington. I was in a dreadful fix. A mini ball had gone through my right lung and everybody thought the wound would be mortal." "The militia were clamoring for the death of all guerrillas, and people were afraid to come near me or about me." "This was in June, 1866. Frank wrote for me to come to him at once, and although my own wound was still very bad, I started immediately and stayed with him at the house of Mr. Alexander Severe, in Nelson county, until he recovered, which was in September." "My pistols, however, I always kept by me." "Frank and myself
served under Quantrell, Todd, Anderson and Taylor." |
