Jesse James Quotes
- "From Nelson county we went to Logan county to see some relatives we had there, and after staying until the middle of October, I returned alone to my home in Missouri."

- "My pistols, however, I always kept by me."
- " On the 21st of the same month I surrendered at Lexington. I was in a dreadful fix. A minie ball had gone through my right lung and everybody thought the wound would be mortal."
- "Surrender had played out for good with me."
- "The militia were clamoring for the death of all guerrillas, and people were afraid to come near me or about me."
- "No, I think it taught me to be independent and never expect a handout and never wait for anybody to hand you anything in any aspect of my life."
- "Just able barely to mount a horse and ride about a little in the spring of 1866, my life was threatened daily, and I was forced to go heavily armed. The whole country was then full of militia, robbing, plundering and killing."
- "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."
- " Frank and myself served under Quantrell, Todd, Anderson and Taylor."
