Chasing Frank and Jesse James

The 1876 raid on the First National Bank of Northfield, Minn., nearly destroyed the James-Younger gang. Of the eight bandits, only Frank and Jesse James escaped death or capture. Jesse's escape from a posse over Devil's Gulch resulted in one of the greatest legends in South Dakota history. Wayne Fanebust of Sioux Falls, author of "Chasing Frank and Jesse James: The Bungled Northfield Bank Robber and the Long Manhunt" will tell about these events that made the James brothers legendary figures in American history and folklore. The free program is made possible by a grant from the South Dakota Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Arts. The
