you really should go read the TRUE STORY of the punitive raid on Lawrence. NOT a single child or woman was even injured, despite the LIES told by the FILTH from KS.

there is a list of every person executed OR arrested & returned to MO for punishment. ALL were adult MEN,who were wanted for felonies in IT, AR and /or MO.

You want to read about Quantrill? Try"The Devil Knows How to Ride", by Edward R. Leslie; "Quantrill's War", by Duane Schultz; "William Clarke Quantrill": His Life and Times", by Albert Castel; "Quantrill and his Civil War Guerrillas", by Carl W. Breihan; "The Vengeful War of William C. Quantrill", Castel ["Civil War", the magazine of the Civil War Society, Vol X, No.1, Jan-Feb 1992]; "Quantrill's Last Ride", by Stuart W. Sanders [America's Civil War", March 1999].

For that psychopath supreme, "Bloody Bill Anderson", I suggest "Bloody Bill Anderson: The Short, Savage Life of a Civil War Guerrilla", by Albert Castel and Thomas Goodrich;"Bloody Bill's Centralia Massacre", by Stuart W. Saunders ["America's Civil War, March 2000].

For the Guerrilla war in Missouri in general, try: "Inside War", by Michael Fellman; "Black Flag", by Thomas Goodrich; "Gray Ghosts of the Confederacy", by Richard S. Brownlee.

For a detailed account of the raid on Lawrence, suggest "Bloody Dawn", by Goodrich

William C. Quantrill was a brilliant guerrilla. He showed flair as both a strategist and tactician. He was also a thief and a murderer. Anderson was, IMO, a full blown psychopath. He murdered unarmed prisoners, and mutilated the corpses of enemies fallen in battle, or who died at his hand. Come to think of it, he's a perfect fit for Baghdad. He'd fit right in with the terrorists.
