Ever wonder which firearms the outlaws preferred? It seems Remington got a rather good endorsement from Frank James. "The Remington is the hardest and surest shooting pistol made," he claimed. On the other hand, little brother Jesse preferred the Smith and wesson Schofield .45, a single-action revolver first produced in 1875.
Frank and Jesse were no strangers to Texas. When the heat became unbearable in Missouri, the brothers would mosey down to Scyene, Texas. Scyene was a small town between Dallas and Mesquite, now incorporated into both. Scyene Road still runs as a main road in Dallas and Mesquite, where it was once an old buffalo trail.
