Documentary following the life of Jesse James until his fateful demise.

Documentary following the life of Jesse James until his fateful demise. James has been called America’s Robin Hood, yet he robbed rich and poor with equal fervour.

The myth of Jesse James is one of America's most familiar and most fictitious. James has been called America’s Robin Hood, yet he robbed rich and poor with equal fervour. He was known as a gunfighter, but his victims were almost always unarmed. In a life steeped in prolific violence and bloodshed, finally in 1882, a $10,000 bounty was too much for fellow gang member Bob Ford to resist. He assassinated unarmed James, shooting him from behind. This programme follows the life of Jesse James and documents his life on the run until his fateful demise.  

’S e fionn-sgeul Jesse James aon de na sgeulachdan as ainmeile agus as macmeanmnach ann an Ameireaga. Bha e aithnichte mar Robin Hood, fiù ’s ged a bha e a’ goid bho dhaoine beartach agus bho dhaoine bochd. Bhiodh gunna aige na làmh tric, ach bha an fheadhainn air an robh e a’ losgadh, an-còmhnaidh as aonais armachd. Bha a bheatha làn brùidealachd agus fòirneart, agus mu dheireadh, ann an 1882, chaidh duais $10,000 a thabhainn airson a mharbhadh, suim a bha gu math tarraingeach dha Bob Ford, a bh’ anns an aon phràsgan ris. Mhurt Bob Jesse James aig nach robh gunna aig an àm, san druim. Tha am prògram seo a’ leantainn beatha Jesse James, is e air teicheadh, suas gu là a’ bhàis.
