Jesse James ain't dead yet


I had a relative who frequently said "Jesse James ain't dead yet" when he thought he was cheated or got the short end of the stick. On the way back east we stopped to visit my nephew in Kearney, Missouri. One of the claims to fame for Kearney is the burial site of Jesse James. Jesse was an outlaw and the most famous member of the James-Younger Gang. There is some question about whether the body buried here is the real Jesse, in 1995 the remains were exhumed and supposedly the DNA matched the closest living relative.
