Jesse James: Infamous Outlaw of the Old West

By: in60Learning

Narrated by: Larry G. Jones

Jesse James grew up in Clay County, Missouri, a place where north and south conflicted over the issue of slavery. Tensions grew in the lead-up to the Civil War, and James’ Southern loyalties meant he had to make a decision. When war broke out, Jesse and his brother Frank joined the Confederate guerrillas known as “bushwhackers” alongside other notorious characters like “Bloody Bill”. By the age of 17, Jesse had escaped death twice and gained a reputation as a ruthless killer. This was just the beginning, though—this short book explains how Jesse went on to live a life of crime that made him one of the most the most infamous outlaws and bank robbers of the Wild West.

Jesse James

Another hour of history from In60Learning. These short books are a great way to learn just a little bit about an event or a person.

Jesse James has become a Robin Hood-ish character from the Old West, when in fact he was just a common outlaw. This short book touches on the pivotal events in his life and death, giving the listener a glimpse into what might have made him the man he was.

If you are looking for a short history lesson into Jesse James' life, give this one a listen. The narrator does a pretty good job, but his voice was a little robotic at times. I was given an audiobook version of this book by the publisher and chose to review it.

Wrong Time, Wrong Place, Wrong Environment

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This review is for the audio copy of Jesse James: Infamous Outlaw of the Old West, by in60Learning and narrated by Larry G. Jones. I really like the in60Learning books. They remind me of the short story history books I read as a kid. This was a very quick listen and it gave me more insight into Jesse James than I had before.

Very educational

This is a quick book but there is so much information packed into it. It starts from birth right up to his death and gives the listener a rundown of his life and some explanation of how Jesse James came to be the outlaw he was. I didn't care much for the narration on this one but overall it was an excellent listen and gave a bit of information I wasn't aware of. I'm sure anyone interested in Jesse James would find it worth listening to. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Robinhood of the South

I love the books by in60Learning! What a great way to maximize an hour and learn about some from history. This book was on the life and death of Jesse James, which I knew absolutely nothing about prior to listening. I am kind of amazed how/why Jesse seemed to get the notoriety vs him and his brother Frank, since they both seemed to do these criminal acts together.....a question the world will never know
