Jesse James grew up in Clay County, Missouri, a place where north and south conflicted over the issue of slavery. Tensions grew in the lead-up to the Civil War, and James’ Southern loyalties meant he had to make a decision. When war broke out, Jesse and his brother Frank joined the Confederate guerrillas known as “bushwhackers” alongside other notorious characters like “Bloody Bill”. By the age of 17, Jesse had escaped death twice and gained a reputation as a ruthless killer. This was just the beginning, though—this short book explains how Jesse went on to live a life of crime that made him one of the most the most infamous outlaws and bank robbers of the Wild West.

Jesse James has become a Robin Hood-ish character from the Old West, when in fact he was just a common outlaw. This short book touches on the pivotal events in his life and death, giving the listener a glimpse into what might have made him the man he was.
If you are looking for a short history lesson into Jesse James' life, give this one a listen. The narrator does a pretty good job, but his voice was a little robotic at times. I was given an audiobook version of this book by the publisher and chose to review it.

In60 Learning has done a great job gathering all the information in this book. Larry G Jones narrates the book. I was not all that crazy about his reading. He seemed to pause a lot. It also seemed like maybe he was reading on a child's level.

I have a special interest in Jesse James, I signed up on 23 and me and found I am distantly related to him on my mother's side. Not that this is something to brag about since he was a killer. This book was very good about going through his life and telling about places, people, and the truth about Jesse rather than the legend. I live in Missouri now so it is interesting to hear all the places right around me he lived and visited. I really enjoyed this book and it is filled with pictures too. Would recommend this to anyone who loves history!
The narrator was perfect! Nice voice that fit the subject!

Jesse James robbed banks and trains and shot people; there’s no getting around that. And I’m not sure why we try to romanticize and glorify those evil deeds. If you think that way then this book will probably help fortify those thoughts. If you don’t think that way it will, no doubt, help solidify your point as well. This book is, if nothing else, a compilation of Jesse James facts as they are known and I don’t think there’s any stark revelations contained herein. None the less, it’s an enjoyable sixty minute listen.
Two negatives: Why is he an “Outlaw of the Old West”? Missouri? Iowa? Minnesota??? Old West? Not what comes to mind when I think of the old west. I also found Larry G. Jones’ voice a little annoying and if this book had been any longer than one hour I probably would have bailed. I understand pairing his “homey twang” with the story of an 1800’s outlaw but a homey twang is a homey twang and it does tend to grate on some people.
All-in-all “Jesse James: Infamous Outlaw of the Old West” is well worth the one hour investment.
