Brand New - Stated First Edition - Exceptional Gift - Dust jacket preserved and protected with Brodart clear jacket cover1571682872 Betty Dorsett Duke's book gives very vague evidence that her great grandfather, James Lafayette Courtney, was in fact Jesse Woodson James. Most of the proof revolves around her "he said" or "they said" theory. Her text craftily stretches historical truth but fails to provide sources for any of her so-called facts. This fairy tale might satisfy the longings of some who still believe Jesse Woodson James escaped his bank and train robber reputation but until hard evidence comes forth, conventional history has not been challenged here.
