THE GREATEST WESTERN WRITERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY From the greatest western storytellers of our time comes a new twist on the legend of notorious outlaw Jesse James�who just might not have died on that fateful April 3, 1882. 1942�Granbury, Texas. A ninety-five-year-old man walks into a recruiting office with the crazy idea to enlist�and an even crazier story. He claims to be the one and only Jesse James, the infamous bank robber allegedly shot by Robert Ford sixty years earlier. Using another man�s corpse to collect the reward, Ford allowed James to slip away and start a new life. Changing his name to Dalton, Jesse worked as a cattle broker in Fort Worth and fathered a pair of twins named Bill and Frank. But when one of the boys turns out to be a chip off the old block�a young outlaw in the making�Jesse has no choice but to school the lad in the fine art of bank robbing so he doesn�t get his fool head blown off. Problem is, once Jesse�s son gets a taste of the outlaw life, he decides it isn�t for him after all. Father Jesse, on the other hand, misses it� So begins the wildest story the West has never known, proving that some legends are bigger than life�and a lot harder to kill�
