- Lot Description
Camp's Emigrants' Guide to Kansas. Kansas City, MO: April 25, 1882. Vol. 7., No. 4. 8pp, 16 x 22.5 in. Featuring a brief front page description of the death of notorious outlaw Jesse James as well as illustrations of Jesse James, Robert Ford, Charles Ford, James' mother Mrs. Zerelda Samuels, and the home of Jesse James. Newspaper account references the Chicago & Alton Train Robbery of September 7, 1881, also known as the "Blue Cut" train robbery, in which passengers responding to land company advertisements were personally robbed by the James Gang. According to William G. Cutler's 1883 History of the State of Kansas, Camp's Emigrants' Guide was established by C.R. Camp in 1875 as a monthly publication, but as of 1883 was no longer being published.
On Monday, April 3rd, 1882, Jesse James was shot and killed at his home in St. Joseph, MO, and public interest in his death was high. This newspaper of April 25th states:
We have not the space to give the details, as undoubtedly every reader of the GUIDE has already become acquainted with the facts and incidents relating to his death, and our only object in illustrating the GUIDE at this time is to present every person who was on the GUIDE'S nineteenth excursion that left Rochester, NY, on the evening of September 5th, with a photograph of the leader of the "gang" who stoped [sic] our train on the evening of September 7th, and relieved the boys of between four and five thousand dollars in money, besides watches and other valuable jewellery, leaving them to enter Kansas City dead broke.
