LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST | Jesse James - The Original Ep6: “The Coward”

LEGENDS OF THE OLD WEST presented by Black Barrel Media. Three years after the Northfield raid, Jesse assembles a new gang to resume his career as a robber, but he quickly spirals downward into paranoia and suspicion. One by one, the new gang members fall as the law closes in on Jesse. A young man named Robert Ford brings the story to an end, and truly launches the legend.

The Ford Brothers were such punks

Superb. Very well written and presented. I have travelled 32 states including much of the old west.

[@garybennett6891]

Love this,you are a great narrator.

[@mikefoltmer329]

These 'legends of the old west' podcasts are great. Like I've said before, I'm amazed these podcasts do not have more viewers and more thumbs up.

[@CuttingEdgetools]

Historical Gem! Thanks again for this Broadcast🇺🇸

[@curtismcenaney9423]

I have watched every episode in your story about Jesse James. This is very good and I am certain this is all accurate as described since I live in St. Joseph, directly across the street from what you called the Worlds Hotel and Jesse James home is around the corner.

I love this channel and the narration.

[@terrysoule8441]

Such a great series

The coward that shot Mr. Howard.

[@BeaverSmashing]

Such a detailed picture of the lives of these men. I haven't heard any other historic channels take such care when telling these stories. You had my subscription after the first story I heard. Keep up the amazing work! Happy to see the channel growing.

My great grandfather new Frank and saw him when he got out of prison and told a story about how big his ring was. Odd and funny, but if his fingers were that big I definitely don’t have man hands I guess.

I know many view Jesse James as a kinda folk-hero, but I have never held that view. To me, he was nothing more than a ruthless, cold-blooded killer, or to quote one newspaper man at the time who wrote: "Jesse James gives no more thought to killing a man than he does pouring milk on his breakfast cereal."

[@GeeJayO1022]

Can you please do one on John Brown

[@sammybaugues1260]

It seems the youngsters don't care about history ..they are only consumed with themselves . Perhaps these series will have their interest

[@HorseWaterDrink]

I have a double feature movie idea about the james gang and burning Kansas.... it would be cool

[@geraldwalker3012]

Yeah it's no wonder those prosecutors passed on the last two charges on Frank James. His soul defense in the first two trials was basically his service to the Confederacy. The jury walked him on both trials. his guns and gun belt can still be viewed at the museum in the state capitol at Jeff City.

Does anyone else think the Ford brothers even if after the assassination their behaviour was questionable that that the shooting of jessie was a preemptive strike, because jessie was after killing one of his gang and I think he was going kill either one or both Ford brothers, I wonder would anyone agree, by the way great documentary.

Interesting to see how the mood of the country can change, political landscape can change, etc. Lots of moving pieces and parts. Not surprised that Jesse James died as a result of a bullet, but to the back of the head of one from his inner circles is pretty telling as well for a bunch of thugs and murderers. The love of money is truly the root of all evil.
