☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe feature story presents the true history of Jesse James, detailing how shortly after the James boys returned to Missouri, they and the Shepard boys, Jim White, and John Jarrett robbed the Southern Bank of Kentucky, escaping with $14,000 while overlooking $50,000 more in the vault. When the gang attempts to rob a gold shipment by stopping a train, they target the wrong locomotive and are forced to flee; the actual gold train arrives twelve hours later, and the gang subsequently robs the passenger cars instead. Frank and Jesse James are eventually identified, and the gang is hunted across multiple states, with a $5,000 reward posted for Jesse James and his gang.
In "He Rode with Quantrill's Guerillas!", Jesse James takes his first brutal steps into a life of rebellion as a member of Quantrill's Guerillas during the Civil War. After a violent ambush leaves his unit desperate and betrayed, the young man finds himself drawn deeper into a world of blood and retribution—where surrender means death, and survival demands a new kind of war.
Jesse James rides hard toward Northfield, Minnesota, chasing a fleeting chance at freedom, but the ghosts of his past—blood, betrayal, and a growing legend—follow close behind. Once a man of quiet desperation, he’s become a myth to some, a menace to others, and now a target marked by a governor’s reward. The road ahead promises no sanctuary, only the reckoning that follows a life lived on the edge.
In the dusty aftermath of a brutal robbery, Laughing Sam Hubb revels in his ill-gotten gains—dining extravagantly and roaring with laughter at the expense of stand-up comic Broadway Benny. But as the dust settles and the laughter echoes, a dangerous question lingers: will his mirth be his undoing, or will he turn his next laugh into a final, fatal act?
In 1870, two legendary plainsmen both claim the title "Buffalo Bill"—William F. Cody and William Comstock—so an Army General arranges a hunting contest at Fort McPherson to settle the matter once and for all. Armed with single-shot rifles and watched by officers and their ladies, the two marksmen face off against a buffalo herd, each employing wildly different tactics to prove who deserves the name. It's a clash of skill, strategy, and nerve on the frontier that will decide who truly is the greatest buffalo hunter of the day.
