i'd be curious as to the source of this nonsense you keep posting. even the most radical of the damnyankee apologists and revisionists state that the redlegs,jayhawkers & KS militia members were ALL military members (though they deny the same servicemember status to the CSA partisan rangers!).
even the pro-yankee book, THE DEVIL KNOWS HOW TO RIDE, does NOT dispute that the members of "the kill lists" & COL Quantrell's cavalry were ALL miltary servicemembers of their respective units. face it, N-S, you are AGAIN completely wrong!

Leslie also points out that Quantrill was born in Ohio. I'm surprised you would quote a book with as big a 'mistake' as that. Still, if he is right about the birth place then he might also be right about the Lawrence massacre. Which would make you wrong...again.
