I paid 400 dollars for this book just so I could see what J. Frank Dalton wrote in it. At the time it was very convincing that he may have been Jesse James, but I really don't know much about Jesse James. I know where one of his guns are but nobody wants to pay the fee to have the serial number traced. I would be willing to sell my small J. Frank Dalton collection to a serious collector-4books, maybe a couple bonus items included if I can find them. Anyway I got this really expensive book and he wrote about 8 pages in it. I can maybe make copies or dictate over the phone to somebody that is seriously interested.

That would be a shame, I'm guessing I bought this long before it was available online, (i hope) prolly around 1999. I had searched around quite a bit back then. Now they are 300 or less last time I checked. I'm glad it is online tho, because just the Frank Dalton part is more than I would really want to copy, type, or read to someone. Also, the one in the St. Louis library has many notes written in it which I think were probably put there by the guys that were investigating J. Frank Dalton. I have no opinion or interest in Jesse James, or whether J. Frank Dalton was him or whether Brushy thought he was or wasn't and just went a long with the show, (he was a human being whether he was Billy or Oliver and sometimes our heroes ain't what we want them to be in real life.) Dr. Hoyt claims Billy knew Jesse. Lew Wallace claimed Jesse James was arrested for the murder of Chapman and Frank Warner Angel claimed Billy Campbell was Jesse James and Brushy said Campbell killed Chapman. Brushy had no idea back in the 40's that people would still not be able to find a family link between the name Bonney and Mr. Antrim and Mrs. Catherine McCarty Antrim nearly 70 years later. Maybe Brushy was right when he said Belle Starr and Jesse James gave him the name Bonney!!! Or maybe he's got psychic powers.
