Chronological/Timeline: (Jesse James)
(Hold up a gun) Everybody get down! I was born in Clay County, Missouri, on September 5, 1847. I was the son of a native from Kentucky, Zerelda Cole James, and her husband, Robert James. He owned many slaves and was a baptist minister. Also he was a hemp farmer who assisted in founding William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri.
The first place I robbed was Daviess County Savings Association Bank. While it was my first crime, the crime, while far from my first act of violence, led me to be labeled an outlaw for the first time in newspapers and prompted the state’s governor to offer rewards for the capture of me and my older brother, Frank, who was believed to have taken part in the holdup.
In the 1869

    Ellsworth was mean, and it was ugly. The stench of the its streets fell second to the odor of the unbathed saddle tramps who had just delivered 150,000 cattle from San Antonio to its freight yards. Adding to these smells were the blends of whisky, tanning leather, kerosene and carved carcasses, a revolting combination. Gunfights were spontaneous, either over a woman or a card game. When Wyatt crossed the Smoky Hill River into Ellsworth in 1873, he may have remembered the "rules of the gunman," but had no intention of employing them. The two main “rules of a gunman” were to take his time and always be armed. Although many people had warned him that it would be naive to go westward without being properly armed, Wyatt didn’t own a gun. All he hoped for was to find a peaceable job. But, only hours after hitching his horse in town he began to wonder if perhaps everyone was right. The most boisterous spot in town was Brennan’s Saloon, off Ellsworth Square; its faro and poker tables buzzed 24 hours, bartenders tapped beer and ...

The first is to provide an account of his life and the other to show the similarities to that of the counterpart, the namesake. He also aims at helping the readers and the general public identify various issues that lead people to commit crimes in America and the community in general.
