According to Robert Dyer,

In early 1991, a Jesse James researcher named Ted Yeatman found an interesting letter among the papers of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. The letter was written by Allan Pinkerton to a lawyer working for him in Liberty, Missouri, named Samuel Hardwicke. In the letter Pinkerton tells Hardwicke that when the men go to the James home to look for Jesse they should find some way to "burn the house down." He suggests they use some type of firebomb.


This plan backfired, in that it cemented the general public's sympathy for the rebel outlaw, which would endure well beyond his death in 1882.
