I grew up in St. Joseph, then moved to Ft. Worth. Parents moved to Granbury about 10 years ago...I think Jesse is stalking them ;-)

Actually read an interesting story about a woman in Arkansas who claims her father told her he was Frank James, just before he died. He not only told her that he was Frank, but that his brother Jesse was alive in TX. She wrote a book (titled “This was Frank James”) and was visited by a man from Granbury, TX, just before the book was published. He asked her not to publish the book, she refused, and the book publisher burnt down that night...with all of the books inside. Not sure if it is true, but an interesting story, and it tied in “Dalton” from Granbury.

Side note: Hico, TX, home of Brushy Billy Roberts (aka Billy the Kid) is about 20 miles outside of Granbury. Famous area for non-dead western outlaws.

Belle Starr's hideout was just down the road, too, in a creek ravine just off 377 east of the Paluxy.
