Things Heat Up...
Opinions and Discussions
As you might imagine, the publication
of my book sparked controversy and has continued to generate sometimes
heated discussions on the topic of the true identity of Jesse James.
The following pages contain examples of
letters written to me personally and to an editor of a magazine discussing
the merits of my claim.

** The Truth About Jesse James
Book Review
by Mr. Emmett C. Hoctor **

Mr. Emmett C. Hoctor conceived the
excellent plan to exhume the reported grave of Jesse James in
Kearney, Missouri for DNA testing in order to prove, or disprove,
the age-old rumor that Bob Ford did not shoot him dead on April 3,
1882 and is not buried where history reports. He chose Prof. James
E. Starrs to head the 1995 exhumation project, but now regrets his
decision because of Prof. Starrs' unscientific and unprofessional
handling of his "baby".
