Description
"I was tired of an outlaw's life. I have been hunted for twenty-one years. I have literally lived in the saddle. I have never known a day of perfect peace. It was one long, anxious, inexorable, eternal vigil. When I slept it was literally in the midst of an arsenal. If I heard dogs bark more fiercely than usual, or the feet of horses in a greater volume of sound than usual, I stood to arms. Have you any idea of what a man must endure who leads such a life? No, you cannot. No one can unless he lives it for himself." Frank James, regarding his reason for surrendering --quoted from an October 5, 1882 "I never, in all my life, had anything whatever to do with robbing any bank in the state of Missouri." --quote from Cole Younger "They were brave fellows. They were true men. There was not a coward nor a liar among them... They might not have been angels... They were charged with many crimes of which they were innocent."
