“Public fascination with enigmatic and mythical figures from history is often skewed by bias or myth; sometimes the truth is unpleasant and the lies are far more comfortable. Within The Mysterious Life and Faked Death of Jesse James, Daniel and Teresa Duke, the great-great-grandchildren of the famed outlaw, finally put to rest many of the myths and misconceptions. The book is a testimony to the tireless research of their mother, Betty Dorsett Duke, to find out the truth about her ancestor, which was sadly cut short by her untimely death. Daniel and Teresa have continued her legacy, and it is one that she--and Jesse--would no doubt be proud of.” * Philippa Faulks, coauthor of The Masonic Magician * “Drawing on more than 20 years of research, Daniel and Teresa Duke expound upon the family lore, Jesse’s diaries, and legal documents to disprove the misconception that their great-great-grandfather died in 1882 and instead reveal that he lived for another 40 years in Texas under a different name, remaining unapologetic about his outlaw days. They give us the details of Jesse’s ‘lost years’ and what about Jesse remains elusive to modern science.” * Mark Eddy, cohost of Night-Light *
