Additional Information

This button was popular among the youths during the 60s and 70s. It is a humorous representation of Jesse James (1848-1882), a famous American outlaw, gang leader, robber, and murderer from Missouri and the most famous member of the James-Younger Gang. In lieu of the common portrayal of Jesse James as the tough and lawless man, the button claims him to be a hippie, a person that was associated with a subculture involving a rejection of conventional values.
