Abstract

Jesse and the Bandit Queen is a funny, entertaining and touching look at the difference between the myth and the legend of desperado Jesse James in the infamous Belle Starr. Jesse was transformed into legend through his daring bank robberies, especially his unsuccessful attempt in Northfield, Minn. Belle, heroine of the lurid dime novels of the Old West, was often billed as the female Jesse James.
