James Younger, American outlaw, c1869-1876 (1954). Artist: Unknown

James Younger, American outlaw, c1869-1876 (1954). Together with his brothers Cole, John and Bob, James Younger formed part of the notorious James-Younger gang, with Jesse and Frank James. The gang robbed banks, stagecoaches and trains across the West between 1869 and 1876. John was killed in a gunfight with Pinkertons agents in 1874. The surviving three Youngers were wounded and captured by a posse after the gang robbed a bank in Northfield, Minnesota on 7th September 1876. All three were sentenced to life mprisonment after pleading guilty to their crimes in order to avoid hanging. James was paroled in 1901 but committed suicide the following year because the terms of his parole did not permit him to marry the woman he had become engaged to. A print from the Pictorial History of the Wild West, by James D Horan and Paul Sann, Spring Books, London, 1954.
