  • Citizens Confront James-Younger Gang: the Northfield Raid of 18761
    Citizens Confront James-Younger Gang: The Northfield Raid of 18761 James A. Bailey, PhD, Minnesota State University - Mankato, Political Science and Law Enforcement, 109 Morris Hall, Mankato, MN 56001; Jason P. Doyle, MFS, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, NCMEC, PO Box 19853, Alexandria, VA 22320-9853 This presentation is intended to familiarize the forensic community with the historic attempted bank robbery and the types of firearms used during the raid in Northfield, Minnesota. It will examine how the citizens, who used rifles and a shotgun, defeated the James-Younger Gang, who were armed with revolvers, in the attempted bank robbery that became known as the Northfield Raid of 1876. Were the citizens of Northfield at the time skilled marksmen or were the gang members unprepared for the firearms that the citizens used against them? In this incident the locals fought back with rifles and a shotgun against the infamous James –Younger Gang who were brandishing revolvers. The citizens’ heroic actions resulted in the demise of the gang. The plan to rob the Minnesota bank is believed to have originated somewhere on the Osage River in Missouri. One of the robbers, Bill Stiles, had lived in Minnesota and was familiar with some of the towns and roads. He convinced Jesse James that Minnesota had substantial amounts of money in its banks. James was initially against the robbery because Minnesota was an unfamiliar territory but Stiles convinced him he had complete knowledge of the area and friends throughout the state who would provide assistance if needed. After their meeting, James visited Bob Younger in a Kansas hotel and convinced him to join the gang in the Minnesota robbery.

SEEING THE PAST: JESSE JAMES AND AMERICAN HISTORY IN MOTION PICTURES By Clinton Scott Loftin Thesis Advisor: Dr. Nathan Godfried An Abstract of the Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in History) May, 2000 Historically-based films often reveal more about the time in which they were made than about their historical subjects. Three motion pictures about Jesse James made in three very different eras reveal more about contemporary history than they do about the facts surrounding the legendary outlaw’s life. While each film, in some way, purports to tell the “true” story of Jesse James’ life, each offers a different history of that life. In order to understand the reasons for this it is necessary to examine the events that surrounded the making of each picture. More specifically, there are four major forces that must be examined in order to understand Jesse James’ transformation in the three pictures: the socio-political environment at the time each film was made, the state of the motion picture industry, developments within the genre to which the films belong (the Western), and the unique contributions of individual filmmakers.

  • The James-Younger Gang
    " Ariane Olson SCOPE 98 December 16, 1998 The James-Younger Gang For fifteen years they robbed midwest banks, trains, stagecoaches, and even a ticket stand. A lot of the time this gang got away with thousands of dollars. They were the James-Younger Gang. The main members included Jesse James, Frank James, Cole Younger, Jim Younger, Bob Younger, John Younger (Younger). Of course, others participated as short-term members of the Gang. In choosing a bank, the James-Younger Gang scouted out the town to get to know it's personality. Often they had family or friends nearby to take them in after a robbery was completed. They knew several escape routes and could easily go from one 'plan to another if any complications arose. The robberies were planned with much precision like their Civil War battles (Morris). The James-Younger Gang's first robbery was in Liberty, Missouri on 13 February 1866. Twelve men rode into the town from all different directions and congregated in fro~t of the Clay County Savings Association Bank. Two men entered the bank. The bank employees inside were Greenup Bird, the head cashier, and William Bird, his son, the assistant. William approached the counter. The two men drew their guns and demanded money, fast (Younger). The gang got away with $60,000 in greenbacks, national currency, government bonds, and gold and silver coins belonging to the bank (William 33). The next job the James-Younger Gang was involved in was the robbery at Lexin~on, Missouri, on 30 October 1866. Of the five riders, two of them entered the Alexander Mitchell and Company Bank.
