On This Day

September 7

The attempted robbery of a bank in Northfield, Minn., left the James-Younger Gang in shambles. On this night in 1876, Jesse James and his brother Frank hid out in Sioux Falls before returning to their Missouri home. The James brothers were the only two of the eight-member gang not killed or arrested in the attempted heist. During his flight from the authorities, it is rumored Jesse James evaded arrest by making a daring horseback leap over Devil's Gulch near Garretson. James lived the outlaw life until 1892, when he was shot and killed by an operative of the Missouri governor, posing as a friend of James'.
