Jesse James Quotes

Surrender had played out for good with me.

My pistols, however, I always kept by me.

I knew, however, that the next morning after the fight I would have to get away, and I did just in time, for a full company came early to look for me and were furious because I had escaped them.

I had hope, however; I had been wounded seven times during the war, and once before in this same lung; and I did not believe I was going to die.

This was in June, 1866. Frank wrote for me to come to him at once, and although my own wound was still very bad, I started immediately and stayed with him at the house of Mr. Alexander Severe, in Nelson county, until he recovered, which was in September.
