Zerelda's Tragedy, January 25 - 26, 1875
On a snowy January night, Pinkerton detectives threw a bomb into the James-Samuel home, killing eight-year-old Archie Payton Samuel (half-brother to Frank, Jesse, and Susan James) and mangling Zerelda's right arm.  Pictured left to right:  Archie's headstone, remains of the bomb, Zerelda after the partial amputation of her right arm, and the James-Samuel farm house.
