Jesse James在美国是一位尽人皆知的传奇人物，他和弟弟Frank James是美国西部妇孺皆知的西部大盗，他的故事的精彩程度似乎不亚于我们中国观众所熟悉侠盗罗宾汉。因此，多年以来以他的生平为内容的影视作品多达30几部，仅次于亚伯拉翰·林肯和比利小子（Billy the Kid）两位美国历史名人的“上镜率”。

Cole, Jim and Bob Younger spent many years in prison for their part in the Northfield, Minnesota, raid. After Cole was released from prison, he and Frank James earned money by speaking to groups. They told about their days as outlaws. . . and the evils of crime.
Frank James lived to be 72 years old. He died in the same room in which he was born, on the James family farm in Clay County, Missouri. Today, that farmhouse is a museum that tells the story of the two most famous outlaws of the American West.Cole, Jim and Bob Younger为参加发生在明尼苏达州诺思菲尔德的暴动而蹲了多年监狱。当Cole从监狱中释放后，他和Frank James通过对公众演讲赚取钱财。他们讲述自己作为亡命之徒过的日子，和犯罪的罪恶。
Frank James活到72岁。他死在了自己出生的房间里，在詹姆斯家族位于克莱县，密苏里的农舍内。今天，那间农舍作为一个博物馆，讲述着美国西部历史上最著名的两个亡命之徒的故事。
