my grandpa's great grandmother WAS PLOWING THE FIELDS herself when Jesse James rode up and left her standing there with the rig and no horses.

Yikes, Jesse was my cousin! I'm sorry your granny's horses were stolen, but hey, I had NOTHING to do with it. ;-) My great-granny would tell of Frank James coming at night to visit but she'd make the men folk stay on the porch because she didn't want the likes of him in her house.

Yumpin yiminy. I accept your apology on behalf of my ancestors for "borrowing" the Nelson's plow horses. The James Gang did not harm my GGMother in any way and after all, she got out of plowing that day. LOL

The James Gang hid out at Red Rock in Eastern SD and robbed banks across the state lines and would then go back to Red Rock.

Smart to keep them on the porch cuz there were quite a few of 'em & hygiene in those days under those circumstances probably wasn't the best.

I will not be seeking reparations or restitution from you even if you're just teasing me. Fregards, Floriduh Voter
