J.C. Bell, SASS #15217 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Is there any good well researched biography of William Clark Quantrell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 While not a biography of him, “A Dynasty of Outlaws” covers him pretty well, along with the Daltons, James brothers and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Yup, about an hour east of me. His parts appear to scattered though. Scroll down to Burial at this link. As I recall from the referenced book, his head remains unaccounted for as it was part of someone’s collection, or so claimed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Quantrill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 might not have the bad rep if the jayhawkers hadnt been who they were , there is plenty of blame and fame to go around related to the times , ive often wondered if this fame might have been different if the south had won the war , in their minds they were protecting their homes and way of life , sice my family was on that side back then i have a little trouble with villainizing this side - or either side for that matter , we dont live in that era , we dont really understand , we get what we read and what history has recorded of it , much like the depression era - no one can really understand unless you lived it ........we might get just that soon tho , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
