I had this book on 'hold" for several weeks because I discovered that I am related to Frank and Jesse James so I wanted to read it before selling it. It is quite a book and they were quite a pair. Although I'm excited about the family connection, I have to say that these two were absolutely ruthless. I have always been interested in 'the wild west" and have read many books on various 'good guys" and 'bad guys'. I have to say that the author of this book dwelled into areas of their lives where no one else has ever gone. In my opinion, it's one of the most accurate books I've ever read on the subject. I was concerned about if all the pages were here because of the condition of the book, and they are. It was a great read and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the old west.
********************
I recently attended an estate sale that featured rooms full of old west and wild west items. The place was like a museum. There were hundreds of books and so many people grabbing them that I couldn't get near any. When I went into the garage, I saw this book lying in a cabinet all by itself. Although this book needs TLC and a gentle hand, I think it was one of the better ones condition wise.

The book is in near fragile condition. That's understandable for being 134 years old. The cover is still attached, but is coming apart on the inside (see photo). The pages have a couple of sections that are also pulling away, but at this time are still attached. I did see a few pages that were loose. I didn't see any writing inside the book and the only torn page is the very last page which is blank.

The front cover titles this book as "The James and Younger Brothers". The first page titles it as "Illustrated Lives and Adventures of Frank And Jessee James And The Younger Brothers, The Noted Western Outlaws". It was written by J.A. Dacus and is dated 1882.

There are 498 pages and many illustrations. The book has 63 chapters. I don't think I've ever seen a book with that many chapters! I have listed the chapter titles below, the only difference between how I listed them and the actual printed ones are that I used numbers and the book lists them using roman numerals.

Postal Insurance will be mandatory on this item. Since its for the protect us both, I split the costs with the buyer. Delivery will be via USPS Media Mail. Depending on your distance from Arizona, delivery could take 4 to 10 days. If you would prefer Priority Mail for faster delivery, let me know youre zipcode and I can quote you on that option.

Buyer to pay delivery charges of $7.95.

Alaska and Hawaii buyers will need to email for a shipping quote. The postal service will not guarantee the in transit time to those states, therefore delivery would have to be via Priority Mail.

SHIPPING COST INFO:
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.

Also, every January the postal service increases shipping charges. This year, many price increases were a bit steep with some package categories adding as much as a dollar on to an already high shipping charge. I try to absorb some of the new charges but that's getting harder with each increase.

International shipping charges also took a tremendous leap. International shipping will now depend on the country. Buyer must contact seller for international shipping charges before making a purchase. Seller reserves the right to void any international transactions where contact has not been made prior to purchasing.

All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
