Jim Younger was an American outlaw and member of the infamous James-Younger Gang, which was active in the late 1800s. Born on September 15, 1848, in Minnesota, he was the younger brother of Cole Younger, another notorious figure in the gang. The Younger brothers became known for their bank and train robberies across the Midwest. After a series of criminal activities, Jim Younger was captured in 1876 during a failed bank robbery in Northfield, Minnesota. He was sentenced to life in prison but was eventually paroled in 1901. Jim struggled to adjust to life after incarceration and died on October 19, 1902.
