Family records tell us that Jesse James‘ strongest features are his “soul-piercing crystal blue eyes.”

ROW TWO: The eyes of Frank James
Sensitive to light, Jesse was known to blink his eyes often. A granulated eyelid condition occasionally caused his eyes to swell shut, particularly when asleep. These conditions are genetic and are experienced by others among the James family.

Do You Believe These Are Jesse James Eyes?
The artist Lois Gibson has authenticated these eyes as being Jesse James. Gibson has sued Stray Leaves, The James Preservation Trust, and Stray Leaves’ publisher Eric F. James because we say she is wrong. If you believe this not Jesse James, as we do, please support us in this lawsuit against Jesse James identity theft. GO FUND JESSE JAMES.

Announcing the passing of Robert G. McCubbin, a supporter of Jesse James Soul Liberty, and collector of Jesse James imagery.Its with great sadness that I share the news that legendary Robert G. McCubbin passed away this morning.
He was well known and respected in the American West history community, especially among Billy the Kid historians and enthusiasts. Mr. McCubbin was most well-known for his historic photographs, documents, books and artifacts, many pertaining to Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War.
McCubbin was also publisher of “True West Magazine,” and a founder of the Wild West History Association.
Aside from his incredible collection, wealth of history knowledge, he was also a wonderful and funny guy. I'm so blessed to have met and spent two days hanging out with him in Lincoln back in 2014.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

St Mary's College refunds room and board fees to students

The St. Mary’s College of Maryland board of trustees held an emergency teleconference meeting on Friday to pass an action item that would refund students their room and board fees.Sad to read of this news. I only learned about Joan Olmsted Oates after Jesse James Soul Liberty was published. The story of her parents appears in the chapter "Underrated Men & Unleashed Feminists" pp 201-205. Joan is a granddaughter of Vassie James, and 2nd great-granddaughter of Thomas Martin "T.M." James. I never got to meet or interview Joan, but I have a research file on her. Watch Stray Leaves as this lioness of the arts in education and her biography will appear.
