Jesse James | Cross-Dresser? (Part 3)

Was the outlaw Jesse James a cross-dresser? Probably not, but an interesting story claims he dressed as a young lady on at least one occasion. Also discussed is how Jesse earned his nickname (Dingus!), Jim Lane and the Osceola massacre, the Lawrence massacre, how to properly pronounce Glassgow, American Primeval, Jim Bridger, and whether or not the Missouri guerrillas were on team good guy or team bad guy.

Om Podcasten

The Wild West Extravaganza is a weekly history podcast that explores the real-life people and events of the Old West. You'll meet shootists and scoundrels, lawmen with more grit than glory, drifters, dreamers, and the Indigenous peoples whose presence shaped the land long before the rest came calling. These aren't dime-novel yarns, but the kind of history that sticks with you—messy, human, and stubbornly true. So, saddle up and discover the real Wild West—the good, the bad, and the ugly.
