I grew up in Northfield. The raid is celebrated and reenacted every year during the “Jesse James Days” festival. Nice little town.

One of the more notorious examples of “Minnesota nice.” We’ll shoot you to pieces, but then we’ll pray over your corpse.

Great title too.

Well, technically they were alive -- in jail -- when the townspeople bestowed these benefactions on them and kept them from being lynched by not-so-nice Minnesotans.

The Daltons tried the same thing in Coffeeville Ks. They got shot to pieces. Unfortunately, several citizens were also killed.

I have read that the Daltons and James’ were somehow related, and the Daltons chose Coffeeville to prove two banks could be robbed at the same time.

Gabby Giffords and Sarah Brady would deprive these north Minnesota citizens of their right to defend themselves!

That Minnesota is dead now I’m afraid. The DFL types have pretty much emasculated it.

I read this book. Highly recommend it. It puts you right there along with them, detailed minute by minute action of what actually happened.

[Tax-chick]

Thanks! The same author has a book out about Billy the Kid. If I like this one, I’ll check out the other.
