In this brilliant biography T. J. Stiles offers a new understanding of the legendary outlaw Jesse James. Although he has often been portrayed as a Robin Hood of the old west, in this ground-breaking work Stiles places James within the context of the bloody conflicts of the Civil War to reveal a much more complicated and significant figure. "Carries the reader scrupulously through James’s violent, violent life.... When [Stiles]… calls Jesse James the ‘last rebel of the Civil War; he correctly defines the theme that ruled Jesse’s life." —Larry McMurtry, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lonesome Dove via The New Republic Raised in a fiercely pro-slavery household in bitterly divided Missouri, at age sixteen James became a bushwhacker, one of the savage Confederate guerrillas that terrorized the border states. After the end of the war, James continued his campaign of robbery and murder into the brutal era of reconstruction, when his reckless daring, his partisan pronouncements, and his alliance with the sympathetic editor John Newman Edwards placed him squarely at the forefront of the former Confederates’ bid to recapture political power. With meticulous research and vivid accounts of the dramatic adventures of the famous gunman, T. J. Stiles shows how he resembles not the apolitical hero of legend, but rather a figure ready to use violence to command attention for a political cause—in many ways, a forerunner of the modern terrorist.

He has resolved to tell the full truth about the fabled career of the three criminal brothers and Eugenia Moore, the former schoolmarm who was an indispensable partner in their crimes, even if that truth turns out to be a darker, more painful, and less heroic picture than Hollywood’s moguls would make it out to be./divDIV /divDIVThe critically acclaimed debut novel by bestselling author Ron Hansen, Desperadoes is a masterwork of historical fiction that brings a fabled era of American outlaws and violence to breathtaking life./div

Michelle Bauer's new book 'Jesse Was Here' is a story of loss and grief. It's also a story of love and hope. When Michelle's 13-year-old son, Jesse, died unexpectedly from complications related to type 1 diabetes, Michelle was devastated, like any parent would be who has lost a child. After Jesse was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes as a three-year-old, he and Michelle became tireless advocates in the diabetes community. After Jesse died, Michelle harnessed her grief and continued to courageously attack this disease head on. Michelle is amazingly open about the pain of losing a child, and she has become a wonderful resource for other parents and children around the world.

Jesse could hardly see them now. It was miles away to any lighted buildings. The natural light from the stars and moon was restricted by the partly cloudy conditions. That made it barely possible for Jesse to identify the outline of his body as he partially lifted the lady's torso and rested it on the short wooden railing which ran along both sides of the bridge. He looked like a giant in the night to Jesse. She was aghast at the outline of his enormous structure looming in the darkness on the bridge next to the lady's body sprawled over the wooden rail. Then, with a very deliberate motion, he pushed the body over the wooden rail. The lady's body fell quickly through the air in the darkness toward the water and sharp rocks below. Although it must have been only a few moments, it seemed to Jesse a very long time before she heard a splashing thud the body made when it landed into the creek.
