| | The Outlaws, Jesse and Frank James |
 | | Alexander Franklin James and Jesse Woodson James were born, respectively, on January 10, 1843 and September 5, 1847 on a farm near Kearney, Missouri, a town twelve miles northeast of the Clay County seat at Liberty and twenty-seven miles from downtown Kansas City to the Southwest. |
 | | Frank James and the rest of Quantrill’s veterans, Donnie Pence, Bud Greggs, James Wilkerson, Joab Perry, Bud Pence, George Shepard, Oliver Shepard and Cole Younger, to mention a few, surrendered at Samuel’s Depot, KY on July 26, 1865 and were paroled on orders by General John M. Palmer. |
 | | For a while Frank James and Cole Younger traded on their notoriety by touring with the “Cole Younger-Frank James Wild West Show.” Then not being too successful, they parted with Frank who was spending most of his time at the old James-Samuel farm, where he charged visitors fifty cents a piece for a tour. |
