I knew a man in Richmond Missouri who said that Billy had spent a night in the house that he owned there. Richmond was the home of Bob Ford who killed Billy, and is buried in Richmond.
Bob Ford killed Jesse James.
Ford shot Jesse in the back as Jesse was adjusting a picture hanging on the wall.
Richmond will always be my second home. I love it and am glad it wasn’t named Nonesuch. The resemblance of the James to the Thames is astounding.
If you want to be moved, visit St. John’s Church.
I grew up in Los Angeles, where history is defined as 2 weeks ago.
Richmond is fantastically steeped in history.
