Son of a Bandit, Jesse James & The Leeds Gang

PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BOOK: SON OF A BANDIT, JESSE JAMES & THE LEEDS GANG AUTHOR: RALPH A. MONACO, II PUBLISHER: MONACO PUBLISHING, LLC COPYRIGHT: 2011

With the death of the bandit, Jesse James, in St. Joseph, Missouri on April 3, 1882, his widow and two small children were left penniless and destitute. This left his 6 year old son, Little Tim, the man of the family. Not until the day following the death of Jesse James did the young lad Tim learn that his father was the Jesse James, and that his own name was not Tim; he, too, was named Jesse James. Would the quote from Shakespeare's Merchants of Venice become reality? -The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children.- Mr. Monaco has eloquently and passionately told the -rest of the story- of the fatherless children and their widowed mother in his latest book, Son of a Bandit, Jesse James & The Leeds Gang. Mr. Monaco, an attorney, author and President of the Jackson County Historical Society takes the reader on a journey from the murder of the bandit to the death of his son, Jesse Jr. The book provides a vivid account of Kansas City as the sun sets on the 19th Century while the bandit's son, like a phoenix, attempts to rise above his father's past. With the turning of each page (like contemporary readers of the time would have read pulp fiction or newspaper columns), the morass and saga of the James family is revealed as Jesse Jr. assumes center stage in the eyes of the public-once again the James Gang rides. Did Jesse Jr. rob the Missouri Pacific Railroad Train on the evening of September 23, 1898? Or was he a victim of a conspiracy charged by the Pinkerton Agency? Had he become a -chip off the ole' block? Did he, or didn't he? No, we are not telling whether he did or didn't! The reader will have to decide these answers by reading this non-fictional story of the Son of a Bandit, Jesse James & The Leeds Gang.
