| Summary |
"Jesse James' Bold Stroke; Or, The Double Bank Robbery" by William Ward is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the infamous outlaw Jesse James and his gang as they navigate thrilling adventures through the Wild West, engaging in perilous encounters with soldiers and Native Americans alike, leading to spectacular robberies, including a double bank heist. At the start of the narrative, the gang finds themselves in a tense situation in a canyon in Southern Colorado, surrounded by dark rocks as they investigate two glowing campfires. The tension rises when Jesse's trusted ally, Comanche Tony, ventures off to scout ahead and quickly gets captured by a group of Indians, prompting Jesse and the rest of the gang to rescue him. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that danger looms around every corner, with skirmishes against both Indians and cavalrymen, setting the stage for Jesse's daring, sometimes reckless, actions to escape and continue his criminal exploits.
