I Knew Frank...I Wish I Had Known
Jesse Sam Pence (1885-1971) was descended from some of the earliest settlers of Clay County, Missouri. During the Civil War, his great-uncles, Bud and Donnie Pence, had ridden with the James brothers in Quantrill's guerrilla command. Both Pence brothers were suspects in some of the James-Younger Gang's early post-war robberies. Sam Pence worked on the manuscript of this book during much of his life, finishing about 1960. In short anecdotal chapters, it tells of Clay County, its early residents, the James-Samuel family and the careers of Frank and Jesse James. One of the strengths of the book is the seventy-five photographs included, some of which have not been previously published. The book was edited by Sam Pence's grandson, Daniel M. Pence.
