This is THE story of the failed James/Younger raid!,
By K.Ness (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robber and Hero : The Story of the Northfield Bank Raid (Paperback)
Written by a Carleton College prof not too long after the infamous raid, this book gives a clear picture of that fateful day, September 7, 1876. The title includes Hero because of Acting Cashier Joseph Lee Heywood's courage in not letting Frank & Jesse into the (unlocked) safe! Northfield and Carleton College would either be very different or would have become a ghost town and a failed college. Read the book and find out why Northfield celebrates the DEFEAT of Jesse James days every year the first weekend after Labor Day!
