91. Wild West | Jesse James & The Great Northfield Raid

Published: June 2, 2020, 7 a.m.

Jesse James may be the most prolific outlaw in America’s history, but he did not act on his own.  Accompanied with his brother, Jesse formed the infamous James-Younger gang that would wreak havoc on banks and trains from Texas to Minnesota, and everywhere in between. In less than a decade the gang would unleash a barrage of over 20 robberies, netting a profit of over 200k dollars. That’s 4.5 million in today’s money.  However, all of this would come to an end during the Great Northfield Raid, where the gang discovered that Minnesotans fight back.
