Jerry Marshall offers historical elucidation: James Gang history Concerning the Education of Charles Marshburn, Incomer: More on the James Gang; "Open the Gate, Conover"; and the subtle nuance to tell the difference between the James Gang which robbed the Bank of Columbia and the Rock and Roll gang led by the unfortunate Joe Walsh The James Gang? By Jerry Marshall Funny you should mention "Open the Gate, Conover." Growing up, I was told the story of the James gang leaving, I assumed, the Bank of Columbia robbery, or they could have been coming to rob. The story went that they came upon a gated fence, and met Mr. Conover , who was told by Mr. James to open the gate to let them pass. Mr. Conover refused. Mr. James, as it was told, pulled his revolver, pointed it at Mr. Conover, and asked again, to which a very smart Mr. Conover quickly opened the gate. His friends, from that day on, dubbed him "Open the gate Conover." You just have to love your friends. I was told this story by my grandmother, Irene Marshall. I never knew if it was true, or just a great story. I did assume Mr. Mashburn was talking about the outlaw James gang, and not the Rock and Roll James Gang from the 1970s, led by Joe Walsh, who to the best I can figure, never came through Columbia. Anyway, your article caught my eye up here in Louisville. This story was posted on 2009-06-13 08:50:42
