Looking Back

I wanted to share with you, one of many memories I have of my late mother; author and great granddaughter of the outlaw Jesse James, Betty Dorsett Duke, who passed away in 2015.  I’ve spent a lot of time looking back through the years and remembering her; helping her research and watching her write three books proving that Jesse James faked his death and lived the remainder of his life on a farm in Blevins, Texas.

In remembering her, I wanted to share some photos from an interview she was pleased to participate in several years ago with former Texas Attorney General, Waggoner Carr, and TV producer, news anchor, and investigative reporter, Bill Kurtis regarding my great, great grandfather, the outlaw Jesse James. The interview and photos were on location at the Mustang Cafe in Dallas, TX about a year or two before Waggoner Carr passed away.
