Following the surrenders of the organized Confederate troops in 1865, many former Confederate guerrillas continued their bushwhacking ways and became infamous outlaws. The most notorious of these were Frank and Jesse James, who were often joined by Cole Younger and his brothers, Jim Reed, Jim Cummings Clark, Archie Clement, Allen Parmer, and many others. Museum Interpretation Specialist Karissa Marken follows their exploits and shows how a newspaper editor became the front line of public defense of the former Confederates, what connection existed between the outlaws and thoroughbred horse racing, and how a woman got into the middle of it all to become one of the gang's most notorious members.

She is doing a fantastic job -I'm a few minutes into the lecture and I immediately reflect on the deliberate and allowed gang/operations activity in America increasingly growing today (while Law and order and fair elections ar e being destroyed as constitutional rights and freedoms are being denied). This lecture needs to be shown to all of our elected officials to get their acts together to stop another civil war from happening and I pray to God that we don't see another one. Over 600,000 mostly Christian American men from the North and the South including African Americans, Native Americans, and Jewish slaughtered each other in our first Civil War and we do not need another one. There needs to be a respect for our founding and for human rights immediately and for this country to come together. This lecturer is doing a fantastic job

Belle Starr was born in 1848. 13 when the Civil War broke out, and 17 when it ended. This makes it unlikely that she accompanied her brother on raids during the war, but not impossible, I guess.

It’s a fact, many of that young age served in many ways. Plus fyi my Mother’s mom, was 14 when she married in 1913, and her Father was a School teacher, and her Grandfather was in the Confederate Cav 16 va, and her husband’s grandfather was in a Black flag organization early in the war. They had it hard after the Yankee invasion. Her father got his career bc the Federal’s tried to reconstruct the next generation. It failed…

One of the most interesting and entertaining storys about the 'fringe outlaw members' surrounding the 'Civil War'! I kept waiting to hear who 'The Outlaw Josie Wales' really was. but alas! Great presentation!

The character "Josie Wales" is a combination of several guerrilla fighters. Sort of like "C W Moss" character in Bonnie and Clyde movie-1967 release. He was three people all rolled into one! Ray Hamilton, a guy's last name Fults and Henry Methvin who's father lvan ratted out Bonnie and Clyde.

To this very day, I despise the Pinkertons. I'd never heard about what they did to the James family, but I don't know that I've ever heard anything respectable about them. They represent everything bad that has produced the less-than-stellar stereotypes of the rent-a-cop industry.

The Pinks threw the kerosene smoke bomb through a window at the James farm. And Jesse's mother threw the smoke bomb into the burning fireplace, whereas it blew her arm off at the elbow.

Clarification. It is 81 miles from Northfield, Minnesota and Madelia, Minnesota, where the Youngers were captured. Whereas, Frank & Jesse rode as far west as Garretson, SD, before circling south back south toward Missouri.
