Jesse James Chapter 1

Season 18 Episode 7

The first chapter of American Experience's "Jesse James."

The story of Jesse James remains one of America's most cherished myths... and one of its most wrong-headed. A product of the American Civil War, James was less heroic than brutal; America's own Robin Hood who robbed not only the rich, but the poor and defenseless as well, always saving the treasure for himself.
