My name’s Josh, and this is the Wild West Extravaganza, a history podcast where we discuss all the real-life people and events from the Old West. Today’s show is somewhat different. Rather than talk history, I thought I’d share a few announcements. Sort of a State of the Podcast address, just my way of touching base and letting you know what’s going on and what to expect going forward.

Jesse James | Resurrection (Part 8)
In the late 1940s, a man calling himself J. Frank Dalton made a startling announcement: He said that the outlaw Jesse James had not been killed by Bob Ford in 1882. According to Dalton, the entire thing was a hoax, and he – Dalton – was the REAL Jesse James. Join me today as we examine the validity of Dalton’s claims. We’ll also take a look at other Jesse James
imposters, as well as the 1995 DNA test. Also discussed are Al Jennings, Alfred Packer, Frank James, and my willingness to accept bribes!

Jesse James | Northfield Raid (Part 5)
On September 7th,1876, three heavily armed men entered the First National Bank of Northfield, Minnesota. They immediately pulled their guns and hopped over the counter, demanding that the clerk open the safe. When he refused, he was viciously beaten. And when one of the other employees made a break for freedom, the bandits shot him in the back. Meanwhile, their
companions outside were likewise facing resistance. And within just a matter of a few short minutes, the gang was riddled with bullets. The good folks of Northfield weren’t quite as docile as the outlaws had assumed. And they definitely weren’t in the mood to have their bank robbed. This raid was supposed to be Jesse James’ most daring robbery to date, but instead, it proved to be an abject failure, one that spelled the end for the infamous James Younger gang. But what really occurred there in Northfield? Why’d Jesse James choose Minnesota as a target to begin with? What went wrong during the robbery, and, more importantly, who exactly were those brave citizens who stood up and declared NOT TODAY?
