During the Civil War, Missourians sympathetic to the South carried on a guerrilla campaign of terror, led by William C. Quantrill and his Raiders. The war in Missouri progressively advanced in brutality and destruction. Author Joseph K. Houts, Jr., whose own ancestors rode with Quantrill, gives us this fascinating and scholarly account of one of the most interesting periods in the history of Kansas and Missouri, and an engaging peek into the lives of 93 men; the original documented list of Quantrill's Raiders.
