Summary: "Jesse James' Desperate Game; Or, The Robbery of the Ste. Genevieve Bank" by Ward is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. This book centers around the infamous outlaw Jesse James and his band as they navigate a series of daring escapades, including a thrilling rescue and a subsequent bank robbery. The narrative captures the reckless spirit of the Wild West and introduces a cast of characters embroiled in crime and unexpected heroism. At the start of the novel, the setting is established in Monegaw Springs, Missouri, known for its medicinal waters and transient population. The chapter introduces the notorious Jesse James and his companions as they attempt to blend in with the townsfolk, enjoying a moment of calm amid their criminal undertakings. The opening scene escalates when a young girl is thrown from her horse, prompting Jesse and his gang to spring into action, showcasing their remarkable horsemanship as they rescue her just in time. However, the aftermath of this heroic act reveals underlying tensions, as the girl's father offers rewards for their bravery but is met with Jesse's disdain. This sets the tone for a complex tale of rivalry, deception, and the looming threat of detection that will propel the narrative forward. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
