Jesse James, a notorious outlaw of the late 19th century, gained infamy for leading the James-Younger gang alongside his older brother and other members. Their criminal activities, which included a series of bank and train heists, began after Jesse’s service as a Confederate guerrilla following the Civil War. He has been depicted in numerous films and TV shows, such as “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” “American Outlaws,” and “Wild Wild West.” Jesse James is also recognized for his involvement in the Lawrence Massacre, the first successful train robbery in America, and his contribution to the popularization of the Western outlaw archetype.
