From back "In 1990 a unique photograph surfaced of barrel factory workers taken in Nashville in 1879 revealing the faces of Frank and Jesse James. Now, ten years later, the research on that photograph is presented in Uncommon Men revealing a secret network of ex-Confederates from North Carolina and Tennessee who assisted the James boys and why they did it."
Due to the cover photo which features the James brothers employed at a barrel factory the author examine their time on the east coast with their cousins. Some of their robberies are recounted, B/W images. RIP.
