William Clarke Quantrill: his life and times: summary, description and annotation

The Quantrill legend is rooted in acts of savage violence throughout Kansas and Missouri during the Civil War--deeds both romanticized and vilified. In William Clarke Quantrill, Albert Castels classic biography, the story of Quantrill and his men comes alive through facts verified from firsthand, original sources. Castel traces Quantrills rise to power, from Kansas border ruffian and Confederate Army captain to lawless leader of the most formidable band of revolver fighters the West ever knew. During the Civil War Quantrill and his men descended on Lawrence, Kansas, and carried out a frightful massacre of the civilian population. Some of Quantrills bushwhackers made names for themselves at Lawrence or after the war, as outlaws: Bloody Bill Anderson, Cole Younger, George Todd, Little Archie Clement, and Frank and Jesse James.
