Northfield MN still celebrates The Defeat of Jesse James Days, in honor of the time the gang rode into town, and had a bank robbery thwarted by the treasurer of Carleton College. Students past and present are not surprised that someone from the college would do anything to keep from letting go of money.

Extremely abbreviated version of the story, of course.

Damn, waiting and waiting to see what you will post for my birthday and I get Jesse James. Ahhh....all good fun. Made it to my sixties and that's a good thing. Thanks for keeping me entertained (and sane during COVID-19) and I look forward to your future writing.
