St Joseph residents recall Jesse James era ties including a 1882 shooting when the outlaw, then known as Mr Howard, was killed in a city famous for a hot election. Lawton Oklahoma’s recent claim of being James adds to the enduring legend and local chatter.
The St. Joseph News-Press chronicles a years long hunt for the real Jesse James after 1932 sightings. Judges, exhumations, and a 1934 photograph probe frayed belief, with the Ford brothers’ 1882 execution and a 14 foot buried gun cited to deny imposters. The city’s fame lingered as tours thrived at the James house now a filling station attraction.
