[Non-Sequitur]

Or maybe it's that they are right and you are wrong? Or more likely you are confusing Quantrill's uncle with Quantrill since that man did live in New York?

[stand watie]

was Quantrell's uncle born in 1837? i doubt it, though i have a dear friend who has an aunt who is 22 years YOUNGER than he!

let me give you ONE simple example of the sort of SLOPPY research that is all-too-common in "scholarship" = several years ago, a book was printed about the battle @ Ft. Pillow. in the book, the following appearred: "----in 1863 numerous foreign "advisors" visited both the Federal & CS armies during that year of 635 days" ---- an OBVIOUS TYPO, but that same phrase appearred in SEVERAL "learned" works!
