Two mysterious trunks discovered over 25 years ago by direct descendants of the outlaw Jesse James launched a quest by historical archeologist Ron Pastore to find the truth regarding the outlaw’s true motives and the facts surrounding his death.This first person narrative launches the reader into and follows the journey as Pastore relentlessly follows up every lead, hope and clue. As more is discovered, a historical conspiracy starts to unfold, where intrigue, secret societies and startling new evidence first suggests and then proves that the enigmatic outlaw Jesse Woodson James was much more than a common criminal. Indeed, his actions were based on a much larger goal… the creation of a new nation.And his death? Could it have been a ruse to take the heat off of the much larger goal he and the secret society he belonged to were afraid of being discovered?And what of the hundreds of millions of present day dollars worth of gold he stole? Tantalizing clues found in these trunks, coupled with years of research by Pastore, point to it still being buried, waiting to be discovered.Jesse James Secret, an explosive and gripping page turner, reveals all of this and more for the first time to the world.
Hmmm, it’s kinda all over the place and his ego and side stories get in the way of the actual story. All I wanted to know was how he figured this out, what started the research ,and what happened to Jesse. Instead you get a little more of a paranoid conspiracy theorist who seems to be insulted at anyone questioning or doubting him. I wouldn’t be surprised if I were to get a personal msg from him telling me I’m not intelligent enough to follow the evidence he’s laid out. There are some interesting points throughout, but they’re over shadowed by his condescending paranoid side comments. I thought it was strange to not have heard anything about “new” evidence of what really happened to Jesse James. I hope he proves me wrong. If he does find new evidence I’d watch a documentary but not read another of the books.
All my research led me to believe the outlaw Jesse James didn’t die at the hand of Bob Ford in 1882. Here’s the proof. This book takes you through the author’s exciting events as he proves step by step that Jesse Woodson James didn’t die until 1935. It also touches on the secretive Knights of the Golden Circle and Jesse’s hidden treasures. I can’t wait for book two.
Great read, hard to put down. Book makes perfect sense. Ron definitely did his homework on this book. My cousins land is adjacent to the central Kansas location of one of the caves mentioned.
