In April of 1892 Jesse James and gang held up the bank in Columbia Kentucky. There are varying accounts of the outcome; some stories say he got nothing, others say he made off with $600. One account says $6,000 but I think that was an error. In the robbery they shot and killed an unarmed teller, and according to some accounts one of the gang members was shot and killed. At any rate they ran from Columbia and held up for a few days in this log cabin which is about 3 miles from my home. Behind the cabin there's a sink hole where they tied their horses so they wouldn't be seen. I've never been able to learn if there was anyone living in the cabin at the time, but it's been variously occupied and empty every since. At some point in time someone has painted it barn red and though it was occupied last year, I haven't seen any signs of life there for a while.
