Stanton, Missouri - Jesse James Didn't Die! - Kudos from a "Relative"

My name is Kayla. I'm supposedly related to Jesse James. We have proof that we are -- like pictures of him after he was "killed." One picture in particular is of him on his 100th birthday on the front steps of his home. My great aunt, whose maiden name is Lowe, says she knew Jesse's mother or sister or someone like that, who knew Jesse as a young adult. What I would like to say is that I greatly appreciate your business (Jesse James Museum, Stanton, Missouri). I think it's good that you're telling the truth of his life.

One other thing, his mother, Zerelda, you know why her arm is gone, right? It wasn't because of a bomb, although I have no doubt a bomb had exploded -- it was because she refused to hand over part of her property to the government for railroads to run through. My Aunt also says that he did everything he did in retaliation to the government because of what they did to his mother. That's all I wanted to say. And thanks again! U R great!! God Bless.
