Jesse James, My Father
Gelesen von Barry Eads
Jesse James, Jr.
(4,417 Sterne; 42 Bewertungen)
A biography of Jesse James as told by his son, Jesse James, Jr. We are treated to inside tales of Jesse's childhood and home life; what drove him to become a Confederate guerrilla during the Civil War; his life after the war and how he became a wanted man. Since it was written by his son, it is a little biased and we are not told anything about any crimes Jesse and his gang committed. Some of the stories of Jesse's war adventures are a little hard to believe, but a good read nonetheless. - Summary by Barry Eads (4 hr 40 min)

J James my Father

I found Mr Eads reading enthralling. It brought the book to live. Like theatre of the mind. It was historically interesting how James Jr went from his father's live to his. He had to confront the grudges and hatreds carried over from the war. Politics not that different from today. A good book, great reading.

Very interesting information about Jesse James. The trial of Jesse James Jr. not so much.

Very interesting to listen to this historical record of Jesse James as true to life; as it is so often with much glamorizing fiction that we hear of historical figures.
