A member of the St. Louis Post despatch editorial Sta chapter four Frank James was a Sood enough boy. Local history has it that Frank As a Little fellow was just As Roll a boy As a Csc was or. The Union signed Franklin apparently had no effect for when Frank got out of jail he remained Loyal to Tho confederacy and proved it some time later by joining the up to the latter s 15th year hut that As Tho elder brother Orrew into the big Hoy period he Sot to be a Little. Throughout the Border War Era. It is to be assumed that. Frank took into his soul somewhat More of the blood i i i growing squad of Young daredevils led by will Tran c. Quantrill the Renc ride a Gorilla chieftain from Ohio up boy his into Tho guerrilla outfit though directly under Quantrill. The Hud remained at Home during brother s earlier wartime Acyl Al big boy in the midst or the Vicinity of shooting and looting May be Cal Neil turd to take it a the More Sci Ous it than docs a smaller boy. Frank James throughout his life was it. Serious minded Man. Jesse the reverse. Frank took things with apparent Lightheart Odness. Frank was More or less morose. Jesse Eon Stith the fiery Furnace tonally cheerful. Frank was fur Jesse Hud been burning with thinking out a proposition Jesse for j Zeal for the cause which ultimately gains at it on the instant s Edge. Became lost. He Dill intend to Frank counselled moderation Jesse permit himself to be burned up in was inclined to Radical action. The. Hell s fire of Border hatreds if life was by no Means nil play for he could help it. And to was Able the Jameses when they were boys As it turned out to spit some fire they were brought up to work and j himself. He was cultivating Corn trudging Between the handles of an old time Bull Tongue plow one Day in june 1s6s, when the hell s imps which for years had been Ragone All around him swooped Down with specific a ors altogether phantasmal clutched him carried him aloft Shook him violently for a time and than let him drop into 1119 midst of work hard. On a mass our farm three Iju arters of a Century ago such things As labor saving devices were unknown. The hard work had its compensations. The open air and the physical Effort gave the boys Good health. And Hearty Appo Titos. There was Al ways plenty of wholesome food on the table. The Mother of the Jameses in addition to her old fashioned religion had the old fashioned notion that Good cooking is necessary to the conservation of Good food she was a capable Cook of the Ken Tucky Pioneer persuasion. Preceding paragraphs alluding to the Border warfare have indicated the altered environment which gave the la tilt Jameses impressions differ ing widely from those of boys in let us say new London county Connecticut or Albemarle county Var Gina. _ they dwelt but a few Miles North of the Missouri River. Immediately South of that River and of Clay county lies Jackson county the Centre of before the our Riding raiding robbing and rape Nung in Missouri. Much of this Devil Lam had seat also in Clay county. What the James lads did t Sec or hear they heard about. The grown ups seated on the front porch in summertime or before the Bialy fire place in wintertime talked it All Over in presence of the children. Expressions of opinion were Well nigh As violent As were some of the desperate deeds under discussion. Some grim games so it happened that the Jameses and their instead of continuing to play the old time game called town Ball precursor of the form of sport that has made babe Ruth famous eng asked in games of Grimmer and Ghast Lier genesis. They played whenever they could induce some boy to stand for the chief character old Jim Lane or old John neither John Brown nor general line was old us we estimate age today but the Brief word was prefixed in those time to indicate that he whose name it pre ceded was ancient in sir and crime and All manner of iniquity Border Missouri men und women hated Brown and Lane to whom they ascribed in their impetuous fury much of their miseries. Border Missouri boyhood most naturally shared this feeling. It was difficult to find any boy who would undergo the Ignominy of playing the Char Acter of Jim Lane or John Brown. However boys who sought the ecstasy Honor of shooting or hanging Brown play mind you Able to obtain raw material for those characters by agreeing to reverse the cast and themselves submit to the disgrace the next time they played the exciting and satisfying game. Thus it i me about that general Lane the grim lib was shot or drowned or hanged Many limes Over in mis Souri he boys who resented his free soil activities Many years be fore he poked the muzzle of a re Volver into his own Mouth and killed himself when an about to be disgraced Benatar of the United states and that some years before John Brown was hanged in Virginia for his so called treason to that state the Border boys had shot him full of holes or stretched his neck beneath Many in overhanging limb. Incidental to these executions was much raiding and Rob Liinar.

Samuel Stepfather of the hons. Moi the visitors and inquired their Mission. You have Boen entirely too loud in your disloyal the Leader informed him. And so has your wife. Furthermore you folks Are Friendly to that Damn cutthroat Quantrill and you Harbor his men. We be come to teach you a one of tin regulars produced a Stout Cord. The doctor s hands were bound behind his Back. He was escorted to a tall tree with an Over hanging limb. A rope was nosed about his neck. One end was Over the limb and caught by several Home staying soldiers As it descended. They pulled hard drawing the victim up until his feet were Well off the ground. Tho pulling end of the rope then was tied around the trunk of the tree and the regulars of Pri vate opinion publicly expressed left the doctor to choke slowly to death. Mrs. Samuel saved his life. She had followed Tho execution party keeping considerably to the rear. soon As the militiamen departed Sho ran Forward and Cut her Hus band Down. She was an excellent nurse he a skillful physician. Though about half dead from strangulation. Or. Samuel recovered. His escape from death was due chiefly to the Zeal of his tormentors for haste in. Completing decimation of the male members of the family found at Home. They went looking for Little Jesse. They found him in a Distant Cornfield blowing As straight a Row As any lad of. 15 could to expected to plow. He was a rather baby faced boy. Seeming younger even than his years. The lesson teachers had another rope along but whore they saw what a Little fellow Jesse was. They hesitated. Don t let s hang Tho Leader counselled. He s too Young to go and fight like that tall wild Devil Frank. But let s teach the cub a lesson whipped til he bled the lesson comprised a whipping along Between the one of the teachers rows of Corn. Used the Stout Ropo As a lash. Jesse released the plow handles and made toward Home the Stern schoolmaster administering a fraction of Tho lesson at every other step. The militiamen made off before Tho Pupil got to the farm House they went to teach similar lessons to other Southern sympathizers. When Jesse reached the Bouse running hard his eyes were blinking More rapidly than Ever. As a child he had suffered granulated eyelids. the rest of his life he had Tho involuntary habit of blinking. They were Large eyes of a Light Blue Shade. The Blue eyes of Jesse James were dripping As Well As blinking when a reached the farmhouse. The boy was Hurt both physically and spiritually. That rope lashing had been an insult As Well As an injury. Tho proud old Kentucky Pioneer blood of the Jameses and the Coles was outraged. Jesse James was crying both from physical pain and from humiliation. What have they done to demanded Hla Mother whose eyes were dry. Jesse mumbled out what they had done to him. He wore a work shirt of tile Blue Check pattern common to farmhands in those Days. The Back of the shirt was this is Frank James at the age of when he in guerrilla warfare under the Banner of William c. 1864. Jesse obeyed his Mother. She turned him around grabbed a hand Ful of the wet garment and Drew the shirt up Over his shoulders exposing the boy s Bare Back. It was livid with Long welts from some of which blood trickled. The for the first time since the military visitation Zerelda Samuel began to weep. Don t the boy pleaded Don t yen cry now. I hate to see you just can t it a. I la go and join Quantrill and get Quantrill laughed members of i Iantria s. Command were in the neighbourhood. After the resuscitated or. Samuel had at tended to his welts and mrs. Samuel had. Provided him clean shirt Jesse went and found of these men and begged them to. Take him along As a the guerrilla Force. They laughed at they had sworn regulators. Quantrieu. Could to use Little Blue eyed said. Jesse re and chagrined. Blowing Corn had lost its interest for Jesse. Some Days later the regulators re appeared. This time they were determined to kill both or. Samuel and Jesse James they had heard that Jesse had. Failed to take his Jesson seriously he. Had been in communication with. Quanta la s men. No doubt giving them valuable in7 had informed on the Federal militia. Both the doctor and his Stepson happened to be from. Home. But the doctors. Was. There and her daughter Little Susie James. Susie was 12. Years old a Gold on is. Mrs. Samuel and Susie were a arrest. They were placed in jail at St. Joseph mis Souri As persons disloyal to the onion. Their incarceration lasted for several weeks. There., were two Little Samuels quite too., Young to Hurt the Union or to help the confederacy which the cities permitted mrs. Samuel to take along to jail. Thesie were Sallie sweat and with something else. Come commanded Mother. Jesse had been making for water i rough in the Back Yard. come right Here to.

Quantrill though his misspelled As usual in the christening they called her Fannie Quantrell Samuel. The guerilla chieftain was known to his followers As we have seen As Charlesw. It is to be assumed that Fannie s. Name had she been born a boy would have been Charles q. Samuel. Let us pause to record the birth of the last born of the Satiel children. Archie Payton Samuel july l s66. Archie at the age of eight and a half years. Is a tragic Little figure in a later chapter of this narrative. When mrs. Samuel was liberated and returned Home Jesse s Back no longer was Black and Blue. His eyes were As Blue As they blinked fast and furiously when to greeted his Mother. A it damned outrage that s what it blubbered. Jesse. Hush Haven t been brought up. To Jesse s ready smile ejaculated Jesse and. A moment later his. Chubby round face was a Flower Garden of smiles. As boy and Man he could smile at slightest provocation he could smile and he did. In a certain manner. Prominent in British Coal inquiry the above picture top.

Jinx Cummins lived on a farm his Birthplace a few Miles from the Samuel Homestead. Jim was Only about eight months older than Jesse James.
