4.0 out of 5 stars
Twain & James ... Magnificent!, Nov 1 1999
This review is from: Jesse: A Novel of the Outlaw Jesse James (Mass Market Paperback)
While the novel doesn't shed any light on the ambiguity surrounding the death of the infamous Jesse James, the tale that Jesse weaves (purportedly to Mark Twain) leaves one feeling sorry if not compassionate for the outlaw, despite his nefarious deeds. Without having read any other biographical accounts of the life of Jesse James, I can only say that Max McCoy crafted a crisp, entertaining read that seemed to be 'the real McCoy.' Kick back & enjoy!
