"Robin Hood of the West"

"Robin Hood of the West"
Jesse & Frank James
Carrolton, Illinois circa 1860-1870


In accordance with Weblog assignment # 4, I chose Jesse James, "Robin Hood of the West"http://www.outlawscribe.com/Jesse_James.html because he was taking from the rich people and giving to the poor people. He was a famous murderer, robber and outlaw with some groups that came from Civil War. They are murderers; Jesse has a brother whose name is Frank, and there are the Younger boys and with other members the Younger gang. His time was lawless, and most of the people in the same place hated the government and love Jesse because he helped them. The last day in Jesse's life, someone near him killed him for some money from the government but the murderer was kept under arrest.


Some people who commit crime are strange, because the are famous and a hero but in fact they are robbers, murderers and thiefs, but Jesse very lucky? All they are lucky like Jesse? but I think the times support him and he was helping poor people who are a give him love and were very common, then some reasons made them good, famous, and a hero.
