<p>[QUOTE="mr2real, post: 22917, member: 277"]I found this tintype in North Central Arkansas a couple of years ago. I personally think that it looks very much like a young Jesse James. The eyes, nose, shape of the mouth, jaw structure, etc. It's hard to see the ears on my photo, but they do appear to stick out on the right side. I've heard opinions that it is Jesse James, to there is no way it is Jesse James. Now, I want your opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, there is local connections with the James Brothers in this area. Fairly recently, I read an article in our local newspaper about Frank James. Frank James was a school teacher for 3 years in Calico Rock, Ark, which is about 40 miles from where this photo was found. Also, a friend of mine, who owns a historical mill, claims that Jesse James's uncle (Jordon James) previously owned the mill.
