025ow: 1882: Very Scarce engraving from the German edition of Frank Leslies Illustrated Newspaper, April 1882. During the winter of 1882, Jesse James tried to buy a small farm in Nebraska. But in April, he was short of cash. Jesse recruited Bob and Charlie Ford to help him rob the Platte City bank. The Ford brothers posed as cousins of Jesse James, actually weren't related at all. The $10,000 reward on Jesse James proved too appealing. While Jesse stood on a chair in the family home at 1318 Lafayette Street in St. Joseph to dust and straighten a picture, Bob and Charlie Ford drew their guns. Bob Ford put and end to the Jesse James Legend with a single bullet to the back of the head on April 3, 1882. The Ford brothers attempted to collect the reward. Instead, they were charged with murder. They were sentenced to hang, but were pardoned by Governor Tom Crittenden. This print is in excellent condition size 11X16. $250

The map is titled "Mexico Texas und Californien." It shows the western United States as it looked in the mid 1850s, after the Compromise of 1850 gave Texas its current borders, and Kansas Territory was created in 1854. On this map, the Utah Territory covers an area from California’s eastern border to the continental divide. New Mexico runs from California to Texas. Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) is above Texas, and Kansas Territory meets the Utah Territory in the Rocky Mountains. The eastern third of Texas is divided into counties, with cities, towns and major roads shown. The rest of the western US (except western California) is mainly populated by Indian tribes, all of whom are listed in the areas where they lived. Mexico is shown in considerable detail as well, divided into states with cities, towns and major roads all marked. On the left side of the map, above the title, there is a small inset map of California’s gold region. There are two other small inset maps: The area around Mexico city (in the bottom left corner) and the Central American republics in the upper right. This map is in very good condition, with original outline hand coloring and no tears, stains or other blemishes on the image. There are a few small stains in the margins, but they do not intrude into the image itself. The top margin of this map is cut close to the upper map border, but the border is not affected. 22x26 in. $600
