American Outlaw The Story Behind the Jesse James Legend

di Davis Truman (Autore)

vincenzo nappi, 2025

Jesse James has long been painted as America's Robin Hood—a daring rebel who stole from the rich, fought for the underdog, and lived outside the rules of a rapidly changing nation. But behind the myths and dime-novel heroics lies a far more complex, darker, and human story. American Outlaw peels back the layers of legend to reveal the real man behind the mask. From his turbulent upbringing in war-torn Missouri, to his ruthless rise as a Confederate guerrilla, to the bloody robberies that shocked the nation, this gripping biography separates fact from folklore. It explores how a farm boy became the most wanted man in America, how newspapers and storytellers turned him into a larger-than-life icon, and how his violent end only cemented his place in history. Both thrilling and deeply researched, American Outlaw is the definitive look at Jesse James—not as a mythic figure, but as a product of America's fractured past. Perfect for fans of true crime, history, and the Wild West, it's the story of how a desperate man became an enduring legend.
