Default July 10th 1901 Cole Younger released from Prison

Cole and Jim were both released in 1901 but Jim could not cope after his marriage failed and shot himself the next year. He was 54. Cole lived until 1916, when he died at age 72. The Youngers never gave up the James boys when they were in prison. They were too loyal for that. They ended up being model prisoners and even helped keep other prisoners from escaping during a fire at the prison one time.Cole Younger established the first prison newspaper that is still in existence today.

Both Cole Younger and Frank James did leave Quantrill's Raiders and join the regular Confederate army later in the war.
