Jesse James-- More than a man?

When last I wrote, the Narrator was being held at gunpoint by the James Crew... he manages to get away and mames one of the members in the process.

He meets up with all the other people he knows trying to catch Jesse. They wait for them in a town whose bank they are supposed to rob. They get a telegram to go to another, and wind up seeing some cowboys running a bull with a Chinese man attached to its back. They go into the bank behind these cowboys, only to be told it was the James Crew. They go back to the other town, and behold, they got that bank too.

Just before this, one of Jesse's members got caught being a traitor, so Jesse was going to kill him. Instead, the guy shot Jesse in the neck, and he was thought to be dead. Two of his group tried to bring in his body for a reward, but they were caught... it was not Jesse's body.

Then the group of men trying to catch the James brothers, got on a train that was supposed to be robbed. They did indeed try to rob it, but it wound up being a fight of almost epic proportions. Several people were injured. They go away to a cabin and the detectives and their group set it on fire to get them out.

Our narrator gets wounded while trying to get information out of one of they Youngers, and he is gotten back to health.

He and another, met with someone who said he saw Jesse being followed by Ed. Said he was going to his treasure hiding place. They followed and found Ed shot fatally, but he was still alive enough to answer a few questions. Ed gave some nonsensical directions, that amounted to nothing.

The detectives are told of a bank robbery, and off they go. Jesse is told of the mutilation outside, and he does not get his booty. He exits and says, "Stand to it! [...] We'll be hanged if we're caught alive! Stand to it!"

Many were injured, and three were dead. They made off away from the towns people just in time for the detectives to show up. They were immediately after them on horseback. A few shots fired, a few more dead. Our Narrator gets the secret whereabouts of Blanche's child out of one of the dying Younger brothers (who did not die).

All three Youngers were convicted and sentenced to life in prison.

He goes off to find the boy, and is confronted by many women and rowdy children, two of which are "twins", one of which is Tip, Blanche's child. Jesse is asleep inside this very house. The narrator is told that Jesse will be moving the boy with no support from any of the band.

He is confronted by a "Jewish peddler", and the child runs to him to get a prize. He is napped, and Jesse is fired upon. He winds up getting away, but the boy is returned to his grandfather.

I'm not sure what to take away from this, except maybe Jesse James was a bit more than a mere man. Something or someone somewhere was constantly looking out for him. All of this could not have been simply luck. More than a man, that is all.
