Jesse James Birthplace, Farm, and Museum

[@MarissaBollywood]

I loved visiting the James Farm and other various Jesse James related places in Missouri. Missouri is such a pretty state, loved it

[@ElainesYT]

Thank you for the tour!

[@Sibes3]

Thank you for taking the time to upload this tour. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Sylvia Hurd thank you!

Right on Jesse James.

[@JILOA]

Great video! I use to own the original pebble sold to the James farm visitor by Frank James. The one on the wall that was shown in this video 16:36 is a copy. I still have a couple Frank James signatures and a some artifacts from the Cole Younger and Frank James Wild West show. I also have a sharps bullet slug removed from the log siding near the back door of the log cabin. Thanks for the tour.

[@BloodDude2]

whosalosa Wow! Those artifacts are probably worth some $$$ now! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@lookingforwyatteearp3137]

I have been to the James farm many times and his grave outside the farm.

[@40milesband]

Missourians NEVER call it 'Missura". We have no idea why people pronounce it that way when it isn't even spelled like that.

[@BloodDude2]

40milesband I’ve always wondered about the different pronunciations. Missouri is a beautiful state, and I always enjoy going there.

We toured this home in 2007. I had seen a lot of pictures of this house before we ever toured it. However, right before we went I saw a picture of this house from the 1970's. The back of the house (the log cabin part) was not even there. All that was rebuilt. Now they won't tell you that. If I hadn't seen the picture I would not have believed it. When we were in the large room in front of the fireplace, I looked around and asked the tour guide if that was the original ceilings. He paused and said no. I wanted to ask a lot more questions but did not want to embarrass anyone. Remember, they are making money on showing this house as the one Jesse James was born in but it is completely new in the back part. The part across the front is old, really old, because you can smell how old it is.

The heating situation depended on how well they treated the slaves...in the James case they would of had heat because they treated them good...so good infact that when slavery was over they actually stayed with the family and the family even started to pay them as hired help

[@MarkCartret]

The bullet in the museum was most likely from a bank robbery (maybe the Northfield Minnesota Bank) whereby it was believed to remain in Jesse thereafter. It was found at the exhumation near his foot. The .44 round that clipped his skull was lodged in the wall and did not remain in the body. Good video.

[@BloodDude2]

Mark Cartret thank you!

[@judymartin4948]

I wish I could add some attachments to this comment. There is a series of books by Time Life that were printed in the 1970's. The first book was called 'The Gunfighters'. In that book they state that after the Northfield Bank robbery Jesse went back to his home state of Missouri. At Fulton, he visited Dr. Martin Yates to be treated for the gunshot wound in his thigh. It states that they later went to the Whaley Hotel for dinner and sat at a large table with several Pinkerton men on the hunt for Jesse James. For Jesse, it was a characteristic bit of bravado, the kind that always delighted him. I have pictures of the book and this story but don't know how I can attach them. Truth: there was a Whaley Hotel in Fulton. The Maupin boys from Fulton (Callaway County) ran with Jesse. There was a Dr. Martin Yates. He lived until April 9, 1935. He was married to my cousin. The doctor married my cousin, they had a large family and she died young. He never remarried and is buried next to her.

[@sackett68]

The bullet that was found in the casket was one that Jesse had in his chest. He was shot during the civil war and carried the bullet the rest of his life. The bullet that killed him passed through his head and lodged in the wall at his home in St Joseph MO. Great video. Id love to visit there someday.

[@BloodDude2]

I stand corrected on that.

[@judymartin4948]

We did visit that home. The wall where the bullet hit has been torn into a big hole. People were taking chips out of it for souvenirs and they now have it covered with glass. The new gravestone also has chips from people taking parts of it.

[@YouSimon1000]

When i took this tour around 1980, Jesse's grandson gave the tour. His mother, Mary, was Jesse's daughter.

@@lookingforwyatteearp3137 your just saying liar. If you know facts then say how you know. These people were told stuff from older family. So if you have true facts then tell it. Otherwise stop calling people liars.

[@danielblackburn1241]

@@lookingforwyatteearp3137 why a lie ?

[@msmorgan45]

We just stopped there the tour guide said that the newer addition, two rooms were a store-bought house from sears by Zerelda after Jesse had been killed, but Frank lived in it with the new addition. They also mentioned that the room on the right as you are looking at the original cabin side with the covered porch was Zerelda's room and she could look out the window at Jessies grave from her bed. The back side of the cabin and the window in the middle is where the smoke bomb was thrown in, When Jessie was alive it was just the two-room cabin with the covered porch.

[@Coyotehello]

I very much enjoyed this video devoid of the crazy hopes most channels appear to need to attract viewers. Stay real great channels.

[@emre930]

Thank you

[@garysicemore3907]

The bullet he videoed was not the bullet that killed Jesse. It was a bullet where he was shot trying to surrender they was unable to get the bullet out so it stayed with him all the way up to his death. The death bullet went in to the wall. If you get a chance to go to this place and go into the house the original bed is there that Frank James passed away on. Some areas of the creek are a little bit wider and deeper that's where Jessie and Frank would bathe a lot of times. And unless they change their policy you are not allowed to photograph Are film are record anythink when you there.

[@BloodDude2]

Gary Sicemore yes I stand corrected on the bullet.

I worked down there for a few years people said if your name was James back in the 30s you were mud ...looks down on

[@ralphedwardleigh1650]

The cast iron pot in the little cabin was filled with hot coal to get some heat for bed.

[@geneirvine9710]

Thanks for the video! Did the( house) museum in St.Joseph come from near there?

[@vikingshelm]

No The house museum is in St Joseph, which is about 40 minutes NW, and was moved more than once in it's history. It was originally located on Lafayette, on a now well graded hill. There is a marker at the original location. The home now sits next to the Patee House Museum, which was known as the World's Hotel when James was killed.

[@fayellynhembrw5875]

Now unless I miss my guess um when the civil war happened talking about slavery I thought Jerry and frank was against it why would they have a cabin on the property????????

[@BloodDude2]

Fayellyn Hembrw Missouri was deeply divided during the Civil War. The James-Samuel family sided with the Confederates at the breakout of the war. Jesse and Frank joined a group of pro-Confederate guerrillas known as “bushwhackers” operating in Missouri and Kansas during the war.

[@fayellynhembrw5875]

@@BloodDude2 so what are you saying were they pro slavery because to me i loved a lot of things they believed and alto of what they stood very strong for in a since as far as their ideas they were ahead of their time.

[@BloodDude2]

According to this article, the James family owned seven slaves. The article says that part of Missouri had the largest concentration of slaves in the whole state. www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/238835/
