The Jesse James Movie Digital Archive Project
One of 20th Century Fox's most
successful early Technicolor movies, entitled: "Jesse James" - was filmed here in
McDonald County in 1938.
Many of our local folks appeared as extras in the film, and thousands
of tourists flocked to the area to see their favorite Hollywood film
stars in action up close and personal!
Our library has held a special collection of
photographs and memorabilia from that time, and that collection has
been and continues to grow larger and even more interesting.
Recently,
much of that collection has been "digitized" (scanned into computers) so that
it can be easily viewed by the entire world over the Internet, without any further damage
to the originals caused by physical handling.
