135 Years Ago

Jesse James was shot to death by Robert Ford, who hoped to collect a $10,000 reward, which would be worth about a quarter-million dollars in today's money. He didn't collect all of it, but he may have gotten a piece of it.

Ford and his older brother, Charles, were indicted for murdering James, convicted, sentenced to hang and received full pardons, all in the same day.

Ten years later, Ford was shot dead for reasons that remain unclear. His killer served nine years for the murder and later was killed in a fight with a police officer.

He was the dirty little coward, who shot Mr. Howard,
And laid poor Jesse in his grave...
