Summary: Jesse James Did Live & Die in Texas!
Review: After reading the book "Jesse James Lived & Died in Texas" written by Betty Dorsett Duke, one would have to wonder how the historians who continue to deny Mrs. Duke's book as "history-worthy" can sleep at night!

Instantly I could tell that the photos in question are definately one and the same! It doesn't take a expert in facial recognition(which, by the way, the book is backed up by numerous "experts" who claim the photos in question do have a high degree of facial similarities)to determine that the photos in the photo comparison section are definately the same.

The book is full of interesting stories on Jesse James....stories that have never been mentioned in any history book. I found the book to be very enlightening and stimulating.

Take my advice....read the book! It's a must read!!

I guess I will have to take a trip to Texas, in order, to see where the real Jesse James is buried!

Summary: Fails to list any credible evidence
Review: Betty Dorsett Duke's book gives very vague evidence that her great grandfather, James Lafayette Courtney, was in fact Jesse Woodson James. Most of the proof revolves around her "he said" or "they said" theory. Her text craftily stretches historical truth but fails to provide sources for any of her so-called facts. This fairy tale might satisfy the longings of some who still believe Jesse Woodson James escaped his bank and train robber reputation but until hard evidence comes forth, conventional history has not been challenged here.

Summary: History Changed
Review: Betty Dorsett Duke's book, shows very strong evidence that Jesse James really did fake his death and lived to a ripe old age. Unlike most other books on Jesse James; the photographs were verified by qualified experts and it's evident the Author actually took the time to research her theory. Also of great value is the Author's proof that the 1995 exhumation in Missouri was a farce.

Summary: History Changed
Review: The book reveals many years of research by the author. The family pictures of her great-grandfather and other family members were compared to known historical James family pictures by well known experts and they came to the conclusion that they were the same people. If you are interested in the true facts about Jesse James, then this is a very good book to read. There have been several people trying to discredit the works, but they do not have proof and only their opinions.

I would recommend the book to anyone interested in the historical facts about Jesse James. Also the Author is writing a second book on more research she had done. Watch for the printing of the second book, if you are interested in the true facts about Jesse James.
