Jesse James. .
Jesse James 1847 - 1882 Outlaw. In the years following the Civil War, Jesse James visited crime and mayhem on this territory. Banks and trains were favorite targets. The outlaw was a frequent visitor to Cameron, but never committed a crime here. He had reason to be peaceable. Cameron’s Dr. Leibrandt once treated Jesse’s wounds and received a $20 gold piece as payment. Jesse also had a fondness for the local saloons, three of which stood on this block. His final trip to Cameron was by rail. Accompanied by his mother, uncle and a lawman, Jesse’s body was loaded onto a special train at Cameron Union Depot taking him to his burial.
