Item description from seller

pp347-365, illustrated with a portrait of Rutherford Harrison Rowntree, salvaged from a damaged issue of THE FILSON CLUB HISTORY QUARTERLY, Vol 69, No. 4, October, 1995. VG in report covers. A very interesting article about a stagecoach robbery in 1880 involving a case of mistaken identity and the inadequacy, or unwillingness, of the lawful authorities in Kentucky in those days, in hunting down criminals and bringing them to trial. In this case, a former school teacher was misidentified as one of the robbers, and went through quite an ordeal before finally being set free. The watch that had been stolen from Rutherford Harrison Rowntree during the robbery, was found in the pocket of Jesse James almost two years later, when he was shot by Bob Ford. One mitigating circumstance in the law's favor, was the fact that the former school teacher, Thomas J. Hunt, had a "remarkable resemblance" to Jesse James.
