Ralph
Cotton grew up listening to stories of the James-Younger gang, and as
the
years passed his fascination led him to seek the truth behind the
legends.
Now, in this brilliant blend of history and imagination, he offers up a
fresh and gritty look at the gang through the eyes of Jeston Nash.

| Jeston
Nash
bears a striking resemblance to his cousin Jesse Woodson James of Clay
County Missouri. After killing a Yankee soldier in self-defense, Jeston
meets his cousins, Jesse and Frank, and joins them to fight in
Quantrill's
guerilla forces. Later, after the war, he rides with the James-Younger
gang as they invent their special brand of bank and train robbery. All
the while, Jeston seeks vengeance against Daniel Zanone of the Free
Kansas
Militia - the man responsible for the death of his child. -- Ralph
