Maybe there was no definitive proof before that the famous outlaw Jesse James did not live and die completely as history reports but there is now; a recently discovered photograph of the James family obtained directly from one of their own. Besides focusing on the photographic evidence - The Jesse James Smoking Gun - this book adventure reveals an admission of fraud from a former Clay County, Missouri official regarding 1995 DNA results touted world-wide as proving that the famous outlaw died and was buried as history reports. Jesse James pulled off one of the biggest bluffs in American history by getting away with his own 1882 murder, hightailing it to Texas and living and dying there as James L. Courtney. An eBay photograph did what neither the Pinkerton Detective Agency nor DNA testing were able to do - capture Jesse James. Thanks to it the age-old mystery of his life and death has finally been solved.
