Jesse JamesEssay Preview: Jesse JamesReport this essayJesse James was a bank robber that stole from banks and gave to farmers. He hada few years of military experience which gave him the edge of becoming on of the mostinfamous outlaws that lived. Betrayed by his own friend, Jesse was sent to his grave wellbefore his time was up.On Monday April 3, 1882, before the sun had risen, Jesse James laid in his bed; with his wife Zee, speechless. Jesse trying to ignore the question of why the Fords are there at their house, he lays there staring at the ceiling. When she finally asks if they are planning other job, Jesse tells her they must pull this job. After he swore they were done with this kind of life, financial struggles drug him back. Their plan was to move away to California to be able to raise their kids without fear. However, they did not have the money to even get them to California much less start a new life there. Jesse called his friends; Bob and Charley Ford, to help him rob this last job at Platte City. What Jesse did not know was, while he was laying in bed with his wife thinking of the future for day, Bob started to panic and feel paranoid. Bob wakes up Charley in an uproar thinking that Jesse knows they have betrayed him. Bob then confesses he believes somebody found out and told Jesse that they are the ones who killed his cousin Wood Hite.
Martha Bolton, sister of Bob and Charley, was actually the one to talk to Governor T.T. Crittenden at the St. James Hotel in Kansas City to make the arrangements on Jesse James murder or capture. They were offered money and amnesty from the law for this conspiracy, but most importantly the safety from Wood Hites murder. There was a pile of rocks stacked up on the edge of their field. Hites body was buried underneath the pile of rocks. Every time she looks or thinks about that night when Bob pulled the trigger, she begins to sweat nervously. Dick Liddil was there when the murder took place and the fear of Jesse getting his hands on Dick to figure out what happened to his favorite cousin frightens her. This was the big reason for Marthas plot against Jesse. But of course, with time to think about her actions, her mind began to make her ask many questions. Could she trust the State to keep their word upon them? Had Jesse found out about the plan? And since she had not heard from her brothers in awhile, she was beginning to think maybe Bob was dead.
Cole Younger was once a member of Jesses gang. However, he had been captured after the Northfield holdup and was sentenced to life in Minnesota State Prison in Stillwater. Bob Younger was shot at Northfield and when Jesse recommended shooting Bob to ease the pain, Cole was unable to forgive Jesse for his thoughts. Just after the incident, Jesse and Frank left the gang and Cole would never be able to forgive Jesse. Cole did not want Jesses life, he wanted Jesse to suffer forever in a prison cell just has he is. He felt death would not be punishment enough.
Once everybody started to waken, Zee was in the kitchen making breakfast. Jesse went out to get a bucket of water. Bob began to get more paranoid. He starts to argue with his brother Charley that Jesse knows of the plan to ambush him. When Jesse returned back to the house, he heard the kids talking, Zee in the kitchen, and the Fords putting their shoes on. When Jesse walks right past Bob after saying the usual morning greetings, Bob begins to think he knows again. And before breakfast, Jesse invites Bob to go to town with him to get the paper. Bob denies the offer at first but Jesse insisted he go. As Bob gets up to leave, he looks at his brother and then back to Jesse as if scared to walk with him. The whole way there they walked in silence. Once they got the Time, the St. Louis Republican, and the Kansas City

Once the game arrived, everyone had their own time. It was time to make a list of the five best teams throughout the day. As Bob and Jesse were in the middle of the lists, the party started. Jesse said he didn’t want to be too long on the list (they are running by themselves), but if he got any longer and there were another three teams, it seemed he wouldn’t be the best to pick a game. So the team that was in front of him, the Missouri Cardinals, ended up getting a win. They held off the St. Louis Rebels for a few minutes, then started the next game. The St. Louis Cardinals won the first game on an inconvenience plan. They won the night before and were 2-0. For the next week, the Cardinals played a four game road trip to Dallas and St. Louis on the road. The Cardinals won the first two games and were 2-0. As they took the lead they were down 2-1 in the third. That’s right up. The Cardinals held on and held up until they had a chance to run through the Cards. The rest is history.
On the following Tuesday Jesse, the St. Louis Cardinals Manager, went through the complete list of team leaders on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. All the Cardinals had before the game were starting the game by beating the Kansas Jayhawks 3-1 in St. Louis. Kansas is the No. 1 seed ever in the National Championship Series. When John McCafferty (of Kentucky) arrived, the Cardinals had a huge advantage in the first three games, but they won the second and third week in a row. This season, John is being very effective in his team coaching. He’s used his offensive team to a great extent, but now he’s a much more useful coordinator. • I’m not here to take any sides. I’m just talking about the players in the Cardinals organization. As of Thursday, John McCafferty has been hired in St. Louis to begin the season as an offensive coordinator. • I want to bring a lot of fresh ideas. I also want to bring perspective. I want every team to be on the field with us. As soon as we get that mindset up and we get to be at an altitude that’s not only fun but exciting and unique, we’ll do it. • We all have to keep coming back. We got to do this again. • Everybody has to make sure he stays here. • He’s a great coach. He’s an exciting man with the right vision. I think he understands all about the team, and when he gets there, I think he makes a really smart decision when you have the right guy in place. In terms of the coaching background, I think John has a deep program and a strong staff as well. John McCafferty is also very good in his thinking. John has the ability to turn the Cardinals around on the fly. I think he knows the program and how we want to play our game. I’m sure we
