Don Buchan recounts Jesse James legends tied to Graettinger and nearby Iowa frontiers, with firsthand reminiscences from Pete Duhn and Ralph McCullah. The piece weaves a county lore tapestry from 1860s homesteads, oxen plows, prairie wildlife, early markets, and settlers’ hardships, including bank robberies, cattle drives, and rustic community life.
A reader recalls seeing Frank and Jesse James in town with descriptions and photos. The father identifies them as men who bought muskrat hides, suggesting they traveled as buyers while planning an escape route. Officials would expect them to head south into Missouri.
