Jesse James Secret

This book could be more aptly subtitled, How I solved a 120-

year-old cold case murder mystery. The ultimate truth surrounding

Jesse James' secret life can finally be revealed. Although the

previous Wikipedia blurb encapsulates what is widely written on the

subject, it is far from reality.

In spite of the secretive life he led, there are numerous pieces of

the puzzle that speak volumes about Jesse James. The clues came in

various forms. Once enough information was amassed, I was able to

process it down to a new and clear understanding of the man and his

motives. What emerged was the picture of someone completely

misunderstood by history.

This research project became both a lesson on investigative

techniques and an amazing personal adventure. I followed the

evidence even when the trail seemed contrary to the existing facts.

Suddenly, new clues would emerge that put me back on track. Just

when I thought the mystery was solved, another deeper story would

come to light. It has truly been a life changing experience. And it

appears that I am as yet, still only at the beginning.

My hope for this book is that the story will finally get out to the

public and the truth will prevail.

My hope for the reader is that they enjoy the adventure...and

that it may inspire others to inquire.
