Part One: Much has been written about Jesse James, including his gang’s ill-fated trip to Northfield, Minnesota, a botched bank raid met with death and tragedy, but never told like this. Mark Lee Gardner, author of “Shot All to Hell: Jesse James, the Northfield Raid and the Wild West’s Greatest Escape”, joins me to tell the story of the James-Younger gang’s foray north from Missouri and the chaos that followed.

Part Two: My conversation with author Mark Lee Gardner continues, about his book “Shot All to Hell: Jesse James, the Northfield Raid, and the Wild West’s Greatest Escape”. In the second part of the story, we talk about the James-Younger Gang’s flight into the Big Woods of southern Minnesota, and the difficulties that they faced navigating through unknown territory, and also the troubles the local posses had finding them.
