Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you.
This is my home town. Found out recently that I am a descendent of Jesse James on my grandmothers side. When I was a kid my stepfather told me that his grandparents used to eat supper with Jesse and his wife when he posed as Doc Howard. And through my work doing home health I took care of a lady whose grandmothers parents farm was right up next to the James farm. She told me that her grandmother and her brothers played with Jesse and Frank as kids. Fascinating stories. This museum is a very neat spot. As well as our other museums In St. Joseph Mo.
Its a very good museum, I enjoyed the Patte House/Museum next door. There is a few other museums I would like to check out the next time we go back. I'd like to actually go out to the farm area and visit Independence area as well. Have any recommendations for restaurants?

Isnt there also a lunatic asylum museum in the vicinity?
I am a decendent of Emmitt Vestal Sr aka Texas Slim... his uncle was Billy James... Cousin to Frank and Jessie.
Thanks a lot for sharing this video!
Your welcome, Hope you enjoyed it.
Really enjoyed this video thanks for the history lesson.
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching. We are hoping to go back later this summer and get more of the places Jesse James has been.
Thanks for this vid man
Any time
Thanks for this, might never get a chance to go so very appreciative
You're quite welcome. If you ever get the chance to go, it is worth stopping and seeing some of this stuff and taking the time to read over the exhibits.
good to know jesse james had central air
I Know! He was beyond his time :)
You did an excellent job on this video.
Thank you!
Thank you for this video tour. I will visit this home one day.
You should if you have the opportunity. There is a lot of neat things to do in this area besides the house as well.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love this
Thank you! We try every year to go to other lawmen and outlaw places each summer. I think this year we will be trying to go to a few in Oklahoma (Belle Starr) and Texas (John Wesley Hardin).
It’s really fun! I went there today! 110% recommend!
corynne the salad Definitely worth stopping. I love the history of Jesse James.
Glass fruits:lucky thing.Does anyone know where the twins,Mary & Jess's surviving son 'Eddie' are buried?
Awesome video!! This is my home town!! A lot of history for sure!!💕💕
We went back here this past summer (working on the videos now), there was a lot to do there. We spent 3 days there on vacation and enjoyed ourselves with what we got to see. We really enjoyed going through the Patte House.
@@TheMadNomadder that is my all time favorite!! I’m so glad you guys had a wonderful time!! Hopefully, you guys go back again!! Looking forward to your videos!!💕💕
I been to St.Joe . Nice town to stumble thru . Thanks for the awesome video
Thanks! The museum beside the house was one of the biggest we've been to. The Patte House.
I come there every every year, a historic place, it really is.
Definitely. I was saddened that we unfortunately could not go back this year due to the hours when we went. Since I did this video I've learned a lot more since then and wanted to also seek out his homestead and brothers grave. It was nightfall by the time we left Marceline. We had a long haul ahead of us.....so maybe next year.
@@TheMadNomadder Frank James is buried in Hill Park off 23rd Street in Independence, Missouri. The James Farm in Kearney is another site to see. If the same film is being shown there that I saw many years ago one of my high school friends portrayed Frank.
@@constancebraun2251 Unfortunately we did not make it back last summer due to COVID. We're hoping this summer is better for everyone. There is a couple other graves around Independence we want to see.
@Mad Nomadder I’m from their in St. Joe, theirs a couple of other places that are pretty neat to check out.
I have mixed feelings about the house.Interesting but so sad.I think I would rather go to the Samuel farm,though I will never b able to.Poor Zee,left alone & destitute.Even had to sell Jesse's dog.And those poor youngsters too.I wonder what Jess would've thought about visitors viewing the house.Why was it moved?I did know but have forgotten.RIP to all the family.
This house is on my bucket list of places to see. I used to put roses on Frank's grave when I was a child.
Definitely worth a stop. We've been trying to get back here for a few years again. I would love to explore a little more around that area next time we are in the area. Especially Independence, Missouri.
why ? Do you put flowers on graves of people who murder innocent people ? The media then was not unlike the media today - The fact these people are viewed as heroes instead of what they actually were - says a lot about us as a society - I work with horses - I grew up and was raised by real cowboys - never was The James' spoken of , outside of their superior horsemanship , as heroes - they were criminals - The true story would astound you -
Thanks for the vid
Thank You for watching
My great great grandfather was good friends w the James boys! He was the justice of the peace and deputy sheriff and he helped Jesse and Frank many times. The James boys aunt had letters they wrote back and forth and documents proving such. She never would release them to my great grandma so we could make copies. She did tho let her read them and told her many stories about them and my grandpa. Frank and Jesse did spend the night w my great grandma and grandpa when they were first married and I recall my grandma saying she was afraid because of what she heard about them but she said they were perfect gentlemen and thanked her kindly for her hospitality. The museum in Missouri is about my Smith family.
Thats a very interesting story. We would like to one day go back to Missouri and explore a little more of the Jesse James history.
@@TheMadNomadder yes please.
Hi Nancy, I have a great great grandpa Smith, his daughter my great grandma is Bessie Smith..
Why would your Grandfather befriend people who were responsible for many innocent people being killed ? Their first attempt at robbing a train resulted in several people dying excruciating deaths - I fella who was just doing his job loading coal was killed because he was trapped in the wreckage and was steamed , and scalded to death - a little girl was also killed - They sabotaged the track and caused the wreck - They were not able to steal any $$ - All that for nothing - These people were southerners -
This event and it's horrific tragedies and ruined lives did absolutely nothing to deter these criminals - Of course the city slickers up north and back east didn't read about this attempted robbery - They read the dime store bullshit propaganda that a Yankee wrote - imagine that
Cool 😎to see his house
Love seeing history, museum was awesome. So many artifacts of his life. We can say we've walked the same floors as Jesse James, wow.
Yep a true legend
You can say you walked the same floors as Charlie Bigelow, not Jesse James. A member of the James Gang and childhood friend of Jesse and Frank James said that when they sold the contents of the St. Joseph house at an estate sale that there wasn't even a single item in the sale that had belonged to Jesse James. chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn90061066/1889-08-13/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1882&index=3&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=alive+James+JESSE+Jesse+still&proxdistance=50&date2=1963&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Jesse+James+is+still+alive&andtext=Jesse+James+still+alive&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1
@@TheMadNomadder How about telling the Younger boys story too?
@@scorpioman92 maybe because Zee had to sell off so much stuff after Dingus died.Including his dog.
@@suzietrecallion1042 This will finally happen - we just visited this area again and decided to do a few Younger sites as well
Omg!!! I live there!!! Finally someone came here!
Thanks for having us!
GEEEEESSSSSS THAT'D SO NEAT
Definitely a nice place to visit
I have lived in St. Joe all my life and surprisingly enough have never gone into this muesem. However, the Pattee House Muesem right next to it is my favorite! That and the Galore Psychiatric Muesem
We absolutely love the Pattee Museum. When we went it was the largest museum we've ever been to at that time. Even currently I think I've only been to only one bigger and that was in NYC. The Pattee House had everything. We are planning a return to St. Joseph soon and hoping to check out more in the area. We would love to check out the Galore Museum and the Pony express museum if we go back this summer.
I lived there 25 years and never went either
...I toured this house back in the 70’s. It was a crude tourist set up back then and you had a guide who explained things. The house was mainly empty and void of displays. It wasn’t painted up or anything and it was in a different location. The guide said the reason the hole where the bullet went through the wall is so big is because of souvenir hunters years ago looking for the bullet. I was fascinated buy the house back then. Then around the 80’ or 90’s I just by chance saw this house sitting on a flat bed tractor trailer moving truck sitting in a lot. Some locals told me they thought it was going to Texas that someone bought it. I was saddened by that thought and that was the last time I knew anything about it. Now I come across this video and find out its still in St. Joseph Missouri. Glad to hear of that. As a side note here. 50 miles east of St.Joe is Gallatin, Mo. A family I knew owned an old playhouse converted into a crude movie theater. This is where Frank James was tried for all his crimes. It’s not a museum tho. Frank was acquitted I believe. And another note. Many years ago Jesse’s grave was moved for some reason. My father, who was a mortician , was involved in that or at least was present when that happened. So my dad got to see him (yeah I know. In a crude sort of way but still). I will say this. Standing in Jesse James house is quite an experience,
I'll have to remember that about Gallatin, we usually drive Rt 36 across Missouri. Hannibal to St. Joseph, so we're always looking for new things to see, explore, and learn about. The next time we are in the area I'd like to drive to Independence and Kearney to see some other related Jesse James / Frank James history.
Crude
My mom was born and raised in Missouri. She was from the Trenton Laredo area. Hello from Tyler Texas!
Well hello there! Can't say we've ever been to Trenton/Laredo area...closest was perhaps Marceline. We have been through Tyler, Texas on our way to Fort Worth a few years back. We love Texas!
Good old southern boys...a product of the times.
I really enjoyed the history I got from this place. Very interesting stuff.
That is so cool
Been here also recently went to the caves ,, son lives I waynsville a disabled Army vet, I live in San Diego California and make the trip to visit my son and grandkids ever 3-4 months,, very nice place to live and reuse a family..
The Patte Museum next door also has to be one of the best museums we've ever been to. We'd like to go back to this area of Missouri and see more.
Funny that I just watched your video last night and my son texted me today that he took the kids to the caves today they wanted some crystals for a project,,, 👍🏼🙏🏻
Now that is a historic house. Love the history of Jesse James.
We cant wait to go back and explore more in this area.
@@TheMadNomadder why was The House On The Hill relocated?
@@TheMadNomadder my home is in Madelia MN.. built in 1880 but I hear there is some history here with I think Jesse James or the Younger brothers? I know on the way to ST JAMES there is a plaque that has my curiosity!
I'df have to look up in my books to see what dealings he had in Minnesota other than Northfield Bank robbery. Very interesting, let us know what you find out in Madelia
Oh wow how awesome, love this video. I love the old west history. I may have to make a trip here to see his house. Very nice they turned his house into a museum for everyone to enjoy and learn. Thanks for sharing, big thumbs up.
Its definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to visit the Patte house next door as well. The folks here were real kind and were definitely helpful. Not sure when we will make it back out, but also check out the homestead and grave while your in the area. I think its a little further east than here though.
I was born in St Joe, and lived there in around 57/8, and 74/5. JJs house first moved to the Belt Hwy, sat on the E side and around Mitchell Ave. It then moved to where it sits now. IF you were a house, and had been moved that many times, I imagine your floor boards would creak too. Im amazed you didnt do anything about the Patee House which was the head quarters of the Pony Express, OR the Pony Express Stables just down the street 4 or so blocks.
Thanks for the information of the prior location. We actually did go to the Patee House.....how do you actually pronounce that like pate, patty, pa tee.....we did a video on it. To this day I think it has to be one of the largest and best museums we’ve ever visited
@@TheMadNomadder It's pronounced like "Pay-tee"
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I visited the James house in its original location many years ago and at its present location in 2016. Well worth the visit and the adjacent Pattee Museum is great !! You can spend some good time in Missouri's historic "Little Dixie" exploring Jesse James and Civil War history !!
We really enjoyed the Patte Museum while we were in the area. I just found out a couple nights ago that a windstorm blew the top of the roof off since we went. Not sure if its been repaired yet. I sure hope so. That museum was a large place. We definitely would love to explore more of Missouri the next time we journey out that way. We'd like to try and make it to see some of southern Missouri. I just want to go get a thrown roll from Lamberts :)
roger that...there are even some old plantation houses in "Little Dixie"...they grew hemp, not cotton
The Mad Nomadder, I am so grateful for you and your travels! You helped me complete a history for my grandson on Jesse James! We knew of his home as a museum, but we're 1300 miles away. You made the 'field trip' possible :) Thanks so much for all you both do!
Glad it was useful for you guys. We're not done with Jesse James yet....we didnt make it to his grave and by the comments I have on here, I'm going to check out Granger, Texas as well. I'm still going with Jesse buried near here and not in Texas, but I'll cover it for my old west adventures.
@@TheMadNomadder I agree with you, thanks.
I apologize, its Granbury, Texas that the second grave is supposedly.
Jesse James is my ancestor I enjoy hearing about him
It's interesting to find out who your ancestors are. I don't believe I have anyone famous or well known for myself, however my wife is somehow related to Jesse when she did her Ancestry and 23andme.
i love jesse james house bc its awesome place to see
thank you!!
I'm not sure i will be able to make it back but if we do I will....wanting to go back and see Jesse James final resting place..
there is a lot that needs explored in this town/city...i hope to make it one day to video
i am going on the trip with my friend carol and we are going to Missouri and i am planing when carol and i to go and see jesse james and his house and farm and wax museum and his grave too
i had the last name James and my real mom and dad was related to jesse james when i was a baby and my sister has the same last name as jesse james but i was adopted by the connellys

During spring break of this year (March 15-21) I went on a small road trip with my grandma, my aunt and my cousins. On the last day of our trip, we visited the Jesse James Farm and Birthplace by Kearney, Missouri.
We got there, watched the short video they showed about the history of Jesse James, his family and the farm. Afterwards, we looked at the museum for a little bit and then went on our tour of the house.
Before I explain to you about the experience, I'm going to tell you some background information about Jesse James and this farm.
Jesse Woodson James was born on September 5, 1847 at Kearney, Missouri, the son of Rev. Robert James and Zerelda Elizabeth (Cole) James. His father died of Cholera at a Placerville, California gold camp. His mother remarried a neighboring farmer, Benjamin Simms and in 1854, he was killed in a horse accident. She then married her third husband, Dr. Reuben Samuel.
Throughout that time, she bore 8 children, from her first and last husbands. It was here that Jesse was whipped as a teenager by Union militia, who strung up his stepfather and burned nearby farms. It was also here where Pinkerton detectives bombed the house, killing Archie Samuel, the youngest son of Reuben and Zerelda, and where Zerelda lost her right hand or arm in the attack.
After Jesse was killed, he was buried here, where Zerelda could protect his grave from trespassers and souvenir hunters. Later on, his body was reinterred at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Kearney. The James family farm is said to have been haunted for over a century. It's supposedly home to a number of lingering spirits and lights are said to move both inside and outside the property buildings. Others report hearing the sounds of pounding hooves, muffled shots and cries that are reminiscent of the area history, dating back to the events of the Civil War.
Today wide arrays of mysterious happenings occur inside the house. Reports are frequent that lights are seen inside the building long after it has been locked up for the evening and movements are often seen which are never registered on a security monitoring system. Staff reports a feeling of a presence within the home. Others report that on foggy mornings, hushed voices and the sounds of restless horses can be heard from the nearby woods. However, when they follow up, there are no signs of a disturbance or tracks within the trees.
Now, to my experience.
I didn't sense anything odd inside or outside of the house, although the inside of the house felt a little chilly. While we were outside, I was taking pictures and overheard our tour guide telling my aunt and my grandma about Ghost Hunters coming out and investigating. Since I'm extremely interested in those things, I had to join the conversation to get more details. I believe she said the ghost hunters got several EVPs but I'm not sure what else occurred.
She told us that one day when she was getting ready to give a tour and there was nobody inside the house, she, along with the tourists, heard a loud crash inside. Somehow the phone seemed to have been thrown across the room, which I don't think would just happen on its own. She also told us about a man getting his picture taken on one side of the house, next to a window and apparently after developing the film, he saw what appeared to be two outlaw-looking men standing there with him. They weren't there when the picture was taken.
I decided to take a picture of my cousins next to that same window, along with taking more pictures. Later on, I was zooming in on the pictures to see if I had caught anything interesting and I saw the face of a man with a white beard in the window and he looked as if he could have been Zerelda's husband, Dr. Reuben Samuel, or possibly a Civil War soldier. I looked at picture of another window, zoomed in, and noticed I had caught another face. This one appears to be a man with a cowboy hat and a mustache.
I was very excited, and still am, because I had never caught images like these on film before.
My grandma use to walk by James Youngers house after school. We went and did a tour thing there.
Did you enjoy your tour when you went?
@@TheMadNomadder yeah it was cool. Pretty much the same kibd of stuff shown in this one but with James Younger.
Thanks for the awesome video! Is this his real skull? Greetings from Germany.
I do not think so...I will look back on the video and see. I believe the remains are still in the grave. Hopefully a local will respond back to you with more information than I can provide. Thanks for watching!
If you pause video at 7:30, you will see a sign that says he real scull is was buried in 1995.
Jesse was originally buried on the James Farm near Kearney, Missouri. He is now buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Kearney, Missouri.
I visited the house in 1968. I believe at that time it was in a different location in St. Joe, MO. at that time and was at road level. There was no museum pieces or decorations at that time. However there was a fairly large hole in the floor boards of the room where Jesse had fallen when he was shot. I was told that people has picked away at the blood stained floor for souvenirs.
This was our first time here, before viewing the home, I only knew of what I saw in movies about Jesse James. Since seeing the house and interacting with others here on youtube, I've learned so much more about this man and his life. Very interesting. Not being around the area I'm not familiar with where the home used to be. Thanks for sharing your story, its appreciated. I'm hoping when we head out on vacation in a few weeks we may have an opportunity to see more of this area, we may revisit this home.
Ron they did pick at it I'm in st Joe
So these move the house
@@christyjoyce4578 house is still here
I do genealogy and I live in Clay County, Missouri (Jesse James' birthplace). I had a distant cousin on my g-g-grandmother's side named Ballentine Monkiers in the 1870's. Ballentine lived on a farm about a quarter of a mile from Frank and Jesse's farm in Kearney, MO. When Frank and Jesse robbed their first bank, the Clay County Saving Bank in Liberty, MO, the Clay County sheriff arrested Ballentine and held him for two or three days. The sheriff assumed that he was a part of the James Gang since he was a known associate of Frank and Jesse. They were all seen around town together several times. However, the sheriff was wrong and released Ballentine. It's true that Ballentine was a good friend of Frank and Jesse's, but he never joined the gang and never robbed any banks.
I'll have to share this info with my wife, she's been heavy into genealogy this past year, doing one of those dna kits from Ancestry. She was researching before going to their site, but she has found a lot more info than she could ever imagine. Shes some distant relative of the James brothers. Its fascinating to find out about genealogy. Thanks for sharing your story and watching!
I find his history especially interesting seeing as how he is my ancestor.
That is great! It's nice knowing your ancestry. I don't believe I have any notable family from history, but my wife relatives were from the Donnor Party and Hatfields. We've done Donnor's Pass and she was fascinated learning and seeing where it all happened. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
My great grandmothers name was Elizabeth James until she changes it to jones so she wouldn’t be associated with Jesse James then she married mark Robert sellers my great grandfather and then they had my grandmother and then she had my mother and then I was born so Elizabeth is how I am related to Jesse James
Everybody claims to be related to James! 🙄
I haven't seen much of your channel, but you should go to Tombstone, or Deadwood.
Actually got a few videos on those places during my earlier youtube videos. I'd like to go back now that I got a few years under my belt. Deadwood is one that I would love to go back to. We love that time period of the late 1800's, so anytime we can see places that have outlaws and lawmen of that time, we try to find interesting places to see. Thanks for warching.
RIP 💐💐💐Jesse James 💐CSA
I wonder what Jesse life would have been if he wasn't shot down like this.
@@TheMadNomadder He'd be a violent criminal that we shouldn't have built a museum for.
I've always wanted to go and see the house up close. I'm a huge Jesse James fan! 😀
It's a nice visit if you ever get the chance. We were 10 minutes away from returning here this summer. I wanted to do more around the area, but it was closed and we had a family emergency on vacation and we had to return home. So maybe next time we can hit the grave/homestead area.
@@TheMadNomadder do you know if Jesse ever carried one revolver or weilded dual revolvers like all the classic westerns?
I've been putting together an outfit for a reenactment based on his appearance and can't figure out whether i should buy 1 Schofield, or 2.
Yes thats how big of a fan I am. I am getting into reenacting 😆
I've read he carried two, sometimes 6 lol
I tried to see if there was any more information before replying. The Colt 1873 Peacemaker was his weapon of choice, although, at various times, he also carried Remingtons and Smith & Wesson Schofields
are you also a ted bundy fan?
That's Good He WAS My Great Great Great Grandpaul
This place is nice
Yes it is
Jesse james is my 3rd great grandfather was told even billy the kid was hanging around my great great great grandpapy jesses
That is pretty cool. Every year we go on vacation, I choose a person that is notorious back in the late 1800's and try to explore their footsteps the best we can. Jesse James one year, Billy the Kid before that, Wyatt Earp another, this year I chose Butch Cassidy. I attempted to go back to St. Joseph since this was on our way, however the museum and house was closed. Theres a few more things I wanted to go back over a second time through. I need to find out where his homestead was in Kearney and also see where Frank is buried. Not sure if its Independence or Richland/Richmond.
My son, on his father's side, is a descent of Jesse James, my son even looks like Jesse James. Actually my son could be his twin they look THAT MUCH alike. 🙏🙏❤🙏🙏
Maybe some way down back in history there may be some relation.
EVERYBODY claims to be related to the James brothers, somewhere along their family lineage. Everybody just wants to have a connection to a legend. Watch any video about James and the comment section is full of claims to be a realtion of his.
@@TheMadNomadder put my son & Jesse James picture side by side. Twins 100%
But I understand what you're saying 😀
@@laurie4275 lol that is so true, there is a story of my great grandfather feeding and watering their horses while they were on the run. Cool story but is it really true, we will never know??
@@None-jf8xg Yep. My family story is that an Aunt would let the gang hide out for days in her barn loft, and not turn them in to authorities, because they were "kin". We even still have a whole family line in the last name of James. Yeah, I think nearly everybody has a story. 😄
Man,it would be so cool to be able to talk to Jesse
Definitely would be, what would you ask him?
@@TheMadNomadder I would just ask him about his life and if their were any stores he could share that we don't know
Why? He was a murdering terrorist.
I didn't know this was in my town
You never know what you may find out in your backyard....and to think I was just happy that WV had a bunch of fallout 76 stuff.
Read ' Death Of The Republic' by Daniel Lowe. It is an interesting perspective. Makes sense too.
I'll have to check that out sometime. I think I recall this book talks about him surviving this and living out his days in Texas?
@@TheMadNomadder Texas and other places.
Back in the early 2000`s, the Block Buster Video clerk in Blanco Texas was named Jesse Frank James. Right there on his `ol name tag. So I asked him once, if TSA or Airport Security had ever given him a hard time. He said, "No...But I`ve given up on ever taking out a bank loan!" that`s the moment I knew his struggle was real...
LOL poor guy.
I’ve lived in the city that this is in (st Joseph) my whole life and I’ve never been. Been saying I’m gonna go since I was a kid
Definitely worth a stop, especially if your from that area. I'm the same way with local museums in our area/town...its there, but never made it.
What did it say on paper when they exumed is body in 95. My grandmother was a James born in 1897 an she met Frank twice he didn't die till 32. An my grandmother always told me that Jesse was alive an retired under a alias name in West Tennessee where we are from. She never met Jesse but was told by Frank on last visit cause she was much older than about Jesse. She died in 95 my grandmother.
Thats the first I ever heard about western Tennessee. I've heard about Texas, I'll have to look more up about this.
The Mad Nomadder her dad was second cousins. The James migrate through Tennessee an Frank an Jesse family went on into Missouri not much over a hundred miles from here. I do know that she met Frank for a fact she would not lie about that .
The Mad Nomadder an another thing that I've always believed to was the fact that Jesse didn't trust the Ford boys anyways an he takes his gun off an then turns his back to him. I've known a lot of James in my lifetime an that's just not in their nature. My grandmother dad was killed by his first cousin they were drunk at a sorgum mill an got in fight hit him with a break pole off wagon. I've never believe he did that. He was living under a assume name at that house no one knew what he looked like. But he wasn't living there as Jesse James.
Frank James died in February 18, 1915
@@shannoncrawford2099 Frank James wrote a book in prison, what happened to him after he was released. not to much info on that.
That was my great great great grandpauls house jesse james I never visited his home
If you ever get the chance you should. It's more in the city than I expected.
You would shit if he answered the door 😆
LOL. I think that would be a different kind of video then lol.
Very interesting, Your camera work isw a little too dark.
Unfortunately it is dark in places in here and I don't believe the museum would like artificial lighting, sometimes you just got to roll with what you got.
My home town
We definitely enjoyed ourselves while there. We were planning to go back last summer, but by the time we got there everything was closed. We want to check out the homestead and some other places in the area.
Zerelda is actually his first cousin that he married and she was named after my great great great grandmother Zerelda Cole, so I believe he is basically a cousin of my family history.
Very interesting to find out. If things go as planned, we are finally going to make a return to the area and see some of the other sites in and around Missouri/Kansas with the Younger's, Doolin Dalton Gang, and more of Jesse and Frank James.
Like many here, I too am a direct descendant of Jesse James. Also Art James and Reuben James
My wife is doing ancestry...shes somehow related down the lineage, not sure how....then again she found out shes related to Lizzy Borden too...so you just never know who you may find
William Bonney Its all true.....its documented. Hell you two may be related! Imagine that!
You forgot Rick James.
would like to visit this
Definitely worth a stop.
What name of town and what state is it I like to visit
St Joseph, Missouri
My grandmother mom is my great grandmother and here mom was his cousin
You guys are related to my wife somehow then too. Small world.
That cool
My great great great grandmother Zerelda Cole is his aunt I believe, he was a cousin. So wild to learn about.
Joseph City?
Misspoke. Its correct in the title. I was in Joseph City Arizona the day or two before on Route 66.
Enjoyable Video
Thanks for watching!
🕯🙂👍
I recently did 23nme and it shows me that he is one of my decedent's....
Thats what my wife did and found out as well. Very interesting stuff you can find out with 23andme and Ancestry
Wow! Have you pulled more history?
@@shawndavis8548 Somewhere down the line my wife is related to Lizzie Borden....so I keep one eye open now :)
Used to be free on Sundays
We just went back this past summer, I'm trying to recall if it was on a Sunday. Definitely paid an admission fee.
If the bullet was recovered in the grave then what made the bullet hole in the wall?
cynthia bruns A) multiple shots. B) Bullet wasn’t made right, split in half, some left in the head, other part left in wall. C) JFK theory....bullet hit the wall ricocheted back around and hit Jesse in head. D) two gun theory. Dual wielding guns one hit one missed. Plethora of ideas since this has been along time ago. I just like the house and the history of that era. I never thought about it when visiting.
I guess I understood there to be one shot to the back or back of the head. oh, well...we will never know I guess. Thanks for your reply.
So...how does a cemetery get bulldozed? I've never heard of that before.
Well I've seen poltergeist, not sure if that fits the bill in this case. :) Maybe one of the locals will see your comment and have more information for you.
Happened all the time.
I just watched a story on Jesse's grave being moved from his mothers yard. The body was exhumed and they found the bullet that went into his head was found in the coffin. So I'm wondering how a bullet hole could be found in the wall.
"Supposedly" there was multiple shots fired that day. I guess no one really knows for sure.
@@TheMadNomadder actually I made the stupid assumption that Bob Ford could shoot well and only needed one shot. But on reflection he was a coward as he waited until Jesse's back was to him and he probably did fire more than one. Then again there are at least 3 Bonnie and Clyde cars. Now I wonder if I really saw the car as a kid at the fair. The video I saw was on the restoration of his mothers house. Quite interesting. They supposedly had the railroad flare that caused the explosion on display. I don't remember reading that Mom lost an armbecause of the explosion.

I tried to do a timeline so I can go to gravesites for Jesse/Frank, Bob Ford and the guy who killed Bob Ford. Had plans to go to Creede Colorado to check out more. The Wildfires last year on top of covid restrictions, made our plans change for a year.
I'd like to actually see the Bonnie and Clyde car eventually...I thought the real one was supposed to be in Primm, Nevada..but I'm not sure. We were supposed to go to the museum in Louisiana and the death spot there, but our plans got altered. So hopefully this summer, we can make it down there.
@@TheMadNomadder yes the real car is now in a small casino.
Será que James não levou dois tiros? Sendo um ter atravessado ele e pegado na parede?
Lol it's St.Joseph, Mo
+Um Yeah oops thank you will correct this. This videos been up for awhile glad someone caught my error.
why did they move the house?
In 1939 it was moved to the Belt Highway in St. Joseph as a tourist attraction.
Jesse james was my 5th cousin!
Where's the California video
It's there! Ready for ya!
this was the last home they rented. they didn't even live there long.
I was hoping to get to his old homestead and grave, but we needed to push on to the other side of the state at Hannibal so we get there before everything closed...we failed there too. Got to see the outside, but everything closed earlier than we anticipated.
The Mad Nomadder if you ever get the chance go to the farm. you can feel the history in the walls. my family has been on the property since the early 1840s.
Who was the judge that was a friend to jesse james
Not sure. I tried to look this up and all I could find was prosecutors and judges who were against Jesse James.
Jefferson County/city MO..Smith is my great - grandfather last name& I was told he was a judge/law man an he sympathized with Jesse James..
That's very sad the students get a cheaper way than the senior citizens of our country
Yeah its pretty sad.
Im just here trying to figure out which picture was stolen. FYI the reason the bullet hole is under glass is because people would go in and chip away at the hole. I guess to have a piece of history.
I think it was the picture above the hole...not quite sure.
@@TheMadNomadder that's what I thought.
Do you really think that the screen door and other stuff is the same from the 1800's to 1976 when they moved it? Not likely.
What?!?!?!?!? This is ludicrous! I am going to have to rethink everything now. Nah, I'm just having fun when I'm out and about :)
In all seriousness, things were made better back then. My families old farmhouse from mid 1890's still has the original doors and wood, now granted, some of it looks awful, but its used as hunting cabin for us.
I believe jesse didnt die. If you do your research you can find out pretty quick and be convinced easy. Its crazy
I definitely would like to venture and look into the other stories of his survival...maybe next time we do a Texas trip, I'll make a stroll to see the other grave.
What location address
1201 S 12th St, St Joseph, MO
I heard that that Wasnt Jesse James that died, wasnt Him that was buried there..
I heard that too. I was just there yesterday for a return visit to learn more...unfortunately they were closed. We had to head back east and we will have to go back another time.
Skuddlebutt from descendant of James gang members. Bob Ford put a bullet through the head of a dead man (half brother who had died of consumption) so that Jesse could live a loooong and peaceful life!
@@ike3094 And risk nearly being strung up? Besides,Charlie Ford confessed yrs later when a very sick man.
@@susanmccormick6022 Yep! The unintended consequences of the Civil War endure to this day. Among them are the fact that the Confederate underground protected it's operatives such as Jesse James, with fables and lies.
I feel bad for Bob Ford. He really thought he would be regarded as a hero.
He probably did. We went back out to Missouri this past summer. I've been releasing the Jesse James stops in time order as I can, the next video I release, will be Bob Ford's grave. The cemetery there was a little overgrown.
I dont think its his original home honestly. I still say they moved the wrong one and the real one is still next door too where this 1 was removed. I could show ya next time u travel by plus alot more of St joseph history.
I would gladly take any advice on places you would recommend. The next time we are out that way I'd like to explore Kearney and Independence areas. We only got a chance to go to the Patte House and this house while we were there. We have been planning to go back for a few years now, but last year, my wifes mother died while we were in California and we had to head back and we were going to go back this year, but COVID happened. I'm hoping next year is the year!
@@TheMadNomadder sorry to hear! Best wishes 2 you both. And as a suggestion if you travel through st joseph again, their is 2 parks, king hill and Whyte hill, both take you high enough too see the missouri river flow off into the horizon and can see a bunch of old fort structures etc. Town has alot of hidden history.
@@torremth also not too far from there as pony Express stables there's also an old school house
sad jesse died like that.
Definitely
It's obvious the bullet left his head if there's a bullet hole in the wall
Makes one wonder, what is the accurate account of how it all went down.
. 44 caliber at close range?? POSSIBLE
If he killed 18 no wonder he got shot wow
For sure! Wondered if he kept one eye opened while he was sleeping
Saint Joseph Not Joseph City.
Yes I know. When your recording on the fly and been all over the country you make mistakes when doing things. A slip of the tongue from 3 years ago. Its correct in the title and the description. Cant change whats already been done.
. people didn't not smile for cameras when they was taking pictures
I think they thought it was a sin
to do that
they thought it was disrespectful
I don't know I can't remember what they said that but that I heard that they said it was disrespectful it might have been cuz he had it wasn't because he had to choose who it was because people thought it was disrespectful
Not sure If I have ever heard about the smile part before, I know they photographed the dead as they were for one final family picture at times. I'll have to look more into what you are saying for future reference. Thanks for the info
That and people had to remain stl for a period of time and a natural expressionless face was the way to get best focused pictures. You try to hold the exact same smile for a few minutes and of course it has to be real looking othetwise youd just look like a fkn clown.
Well if he was shot in the back of the head and the photo shows the exit above his left eye , then it doesn't take a genius to work out the bullet went in the wall.
Theres people that question if it really happened. You would think its common sense
It also doesn't take a genius to research the autopsy report that states the bullet never exited the skull. The 'hole in the wall' is to generate tourist interest, when they don't do their research...
An exit hole from a bullet would have been a much larger hole then an entry hole.
Half of Jessie's left forhead would be missing from the exit of the bullet. Everyone knows that.
If the bullet whent into the wall it may have fell to the floor.
Very well could have....

“Joseph city Missouri.” It’s St. Joseph Missouri… hard to believe anything you say after the wrong name of the town.
Sorry I messed up. It happens. A day or two before we went to Joseph City, Arizona. Slip of the tongue.
Jesse james is my cousin I'm his family
Pretty awesome!
The Ford's were related to the James family actually. Jesse James didn't die that day. He survived and lived to be 104 years old. The story of his murder has as many holes in it as Bonnie and Clyde had in them when they were blasted to smithereens. Miss Z his mother even said that is not my son. Another man was buried instead and not many knew what he even looked like since he wasn't posting on FB and cameras were not available. As you yourself even said' they think he might of looked like' He passed away using the alias Frank Dalton in bed boots off. Not in a blaze of glory as most gunslinger's did. The house is not on same spot neither it was moved. Look up Brett Hall channel on CZcams channel and can see all I'm saying. It's an interview with a James family descendant. Still appreciate the opportunity to see the detailed video that I can't see from here in Bronx NY.
Try. You probably would be good at book reading with your energy in voice. Pay is pretty darn good. Cheer's
Thanks for watching! I love traveling to the "old west". There is just something about it that draws me in. I think its the mystique of the stories. We had plans to go back this year and sorta redo some things but everything got messed up this year. I'd like to sort of do the entire story of his life. Bouncing to place to place that he is known for, but also do the Ford side as well....Creede Colorado isnt big, but I dont think I will be able to find the tent bar he set up...it could be a bank or a restaurant now. Eventually most everything that I can do with graves/homesteads are in the vicinity of St Joseph/Kearney/Richmond/Independence Missouri.....
Now I would like to go to Granbury Texas to see the history of Jesse James there...Close by in a town Hico - is where Billy The Kids other grave is too. Theres just too much to see and do and not enough money and time to do it all. Plus these locations are day and a half travel for us lol
@@TheMadNomadder don't let anything life throws at you block your happiness in this life we only live it once. your on the right trail. you can do your own documentary for sure. covid didn't make the past go away just change our future. the past is there. it's waiting to be told. tell it and people will listen. I did from the ghetto's in Bronx NY. and it's what I needed to see that day . so my thanks and best wishes
DNA tests confirm that Jesse was in fact killed that day by the coward Bob Ford.
He did not live to be 104.
@@calmerthanyou6180 DNA from who because if it's from the man's that said died in his place from his family it'd be not from the same DNA as the James family but the family of man that died replacing j James.
@@thisissoutheastasia6456 .
Was I not clear??
They exhumed his body in 94 or 95...
DNA tests matched James family DNA with the DNA from the remains in the casket.
Bill styles clell miller and charlie pitts were not killed by jesse
I need to find out if there is any more Jesse James museums anywhere.
this narrator has more crap about him then a Christmas goose.
Why thanks!!!! That’s exactly what I aim for!
Charles Bigelow got shot there. Definitely wasn't Jesse James. Jesse James died in the 50s under the alias j. Frank Dalton
Frank Dalton sounds familiar, wasn’t he part of the doolin dalton gang? Cant recall if he was the one of the lawmen brothers that didnt turn to crime?
Jesse was NOT killed at that house. He wasnt killed at all!!!
Not far in the distant future I will be returning here to discuss that as well as driving down to Granbury Texas and then gather all information at hand.
@@TheMadNomadder I have a good friend that is doing a deep dive on it all. He has published a book and has been invited to lecture on the subject. His name is Bob Friedel as lives in Washington MO. Mr great grandfather was Thomas James who was a brother to Frank & Jesse. I live in Independence MO. Good luck on your search. Big names dont want the real info out there. A woman in Texas just died under odd circumstances. She had alot of info abput Jesse living in Texas and was in contact with Bob. It unnerved him a lot!!
I know we will definitely be stopping back in Missouri. Texas will be in the fall. I've seen too many comments below on the subject that I want to see what it's all about. There are a few things in Granbury that intrigues me other than Jesse James, the Billy The Kid factor too
@@TheMadNomadder Its complicated thats for sure. Lots of government involvement and of all things-- horse racing. Good luck on your adventure!!
Hey to the guy filming this, slow down so we can actually look at the artifacts and read the signs. Your waving that camera around too fast, my eyes hurt watching it. Take the time so your viewer can enjoy and meditate on the artifacts too please. Thank you.
Sorry about that. This video was during the early years of my youtube start. I was nervous about filming inside locations and museums since they need to make money to stay open. At that time, I really didnt know how to edit videos that well. We just recently went back here after 6 years and cant wait to release the updated quality version. Now, everything is more natural, slowed down, 4k, stabilization is much better. Like everything in life, patience and practice. Thanks!
Everybody thinks I am related to Jesse James. Nope no relation to him. Everybody says I do cause I look dead center like him. I been there to the house. People will be like are u related.
I get the same treatment with Jack Black, but thats a different story, for another day lol
@@TheMadNomadder I bet u get asked if ur his twin brother. When I was like maybe 16 years old. I had history teacher's asked me. Cause I looked like him. And if I am related to Jesse James. I say nope not related to him or Jesse James that's famous on t.v. West Coast Choppers and several t.v. shows. I met him once and he even said I looked like his great great relative.
