5.0 out of 5 stars A very good and informative book., August 14, 2000

This review is from: Jesse James Lived and Died in Texas (Hardcover)

The book reveals many years of research by the author. The family pictures of her great-grandfather and other family members were compared to known historical James family pictures by well known experts and they came to the conclusion that they were the same people. If you are interested in the true facts about Jesse James, then this is a very good book to read. There have been several people trying to discredit the works, but they do not have proof and only their opinions.

I would recommend the book to anyone interested in the historical facts about Jesse James. Also the Author is writing a second book on more research she had done. Watch for the printing of the second book, if you are interested in the true facts about Jesse James.

This review is from: Jesse James Lived and Died in Texas (Hardcover)

Apparently a hard to find book, and expensive because of that, but once ordered with only this book in stock, it arrived very quickly, and I am completely satisfied!

This review is from: Jesse James Lived and Died in Texas (Hardcover)

Betty Dorsett Duke's book, shows very strong evidence that Jesse James really did fake his death and lived to a ripe old age. Unlike most other books on Jesse James; the photographs were verified by qualified experts and it's evident the Author actually took the time to research her theory. Also of great value is the Author's proof that the 1995 exhumation in Missouri was a farce.
