As a child I spent a lot of time with my Grandmother, and she told me many stories of her life in Missouri, the James Boys, and her later trip to Michigan with her family in a covered wagon.
At the time she was a little gril, all the girls wore aprons, and would pick various garden produce, etc.and put them in their aprons to take to the house. She told me that her, and her sister Ida, which she called "Idy" would go pick wild plums, and just get their aprons full, and the James Boys would ride through, and take their plums, and Jesse was the "worst one of the bunch."
This meant nothing to me at the time, but as I grew older, and heard about the James Boys, I was thinking, "Good grief Grandma, you could have been hurt. "
I told my children this, and to this day, they don't quite believe me, but my grandmother was a great Christian, and had no reason to lie.
