The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid
"Life in the open, the rides at night, the spice of danger, the mastery over men, the pride of being able to hold a mob at bay - it tingles in my veins. I love it. It is wild adventure." Henry Starr, gang leader operating in Indian Territory.
All along the history of the Wild West no gang has contributed more significantly to its lore than the one led by Jesse James and his brother Frank. The James boys were well trained for outlaw careers. During the the Civil War they had fought in Confederate guerrilla bands whose hit-and run raids on Union troops terrorized the Kansas-Missouri border zone. Once the war was over, the two young rebels organized fellow comrades into a bunch ranging in number from three to a dozen men at any one time. They planned assaults with masterly precision, struck so fast that they paralyze an entire town to immediately vanish into the surrounding countryside. The James gang remained at work for 15 years, from 1866 to 1881, and performed 26 raids in and around Missouri for a total take of about half a million dollars.
