For your consideration is this Jesse James Memorabilia Collection. Provenance: Tombstone Western Heritage Museum, Tombstone, Arizona. Jesse Woodson James (1847-1882) was an American outlaw, bank and train robber, guerrilla and leader of the James–Younger Gang. James's turn to crime after the end of the Reconstruction era helped cement his place in American life and memory as a simple but remarkably effective bandit. During the Populist and Progressive eras, James became an icon as America's Robin Hood, standing up against corporations in defense of the small farmer, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. There is no evidence that he shared the loot of his robberies with anyone other than his gang members; they alone enjoyed the riches with him. Included in this collection are: (1), Charcoal portrait of Zerelda James Samuel, mother of Frank & Jessie James, with musuem label affixed to front protective sleeve, museum code in pencil on reverse "LO-143"; (2), remnant of "WALLPAPER FROM THE JAMES HOME" (museum label), museum code "LO-106"; (3), "Pieces from the original coffin of JESSE JAMES that was buried at the home" (museum label), museum code, "LO-107"; (4), "BEAM from the original 1840's home of FRANK & JESSE JAMES Note hand drilled hole for the dowel" (museum label), museum code "MS 13" on reverse; (5) issues #3 & 10 of "The James Boys Weekly 1901" magazines; (6) The New York Detective Library magazine # 438, The James Boys in No Man's Land: or The Bandit King's Last Ride", story by D. W. Stevens, 1891; (7) Photograph of "Jesse James Casket With Confederate Flag draped on Funeral Day Oct 28, 1995." Largest piece measures 5.5" x 6" x 11.5", portrait is 7"W x 9.625"L, sleeve is 8.375"W x 10.25"L. Combined weight is 3lb, 12oz.
