Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When one thinks of William Quantrill, Bloody Bill Anderson, and men like the James and Younger Brothers, they may automatically think of Missouri and Kansas. But Quantrill's Raiders are a fascinating part of Grayson County and North Texas history as well. This book will explore their activities in North Texas, both during, and after the Civil War. This writer's purpose is not to overtly try to take one side over the other, concerning the morality of that war, or those who fought in it. Many original sources will be presented from the time of the war and shortly afterward explaining the times. Both sides will be presented and the humanity of the people involved will be taken into consideration.CONTENTS:Section One - Quantrill's Raiders in North TexasIntroduction Pg 7-10A short introduction and overview of Quantrill's Raiders in North Texas Pages 11 - 20Quantrill's 1861 Trip to North Texas and Grayson County Pg 21-25Quantrill's Raiders in 1862 Pg 25-28Quantrill In 1863 -1864 Pg 29-33Collapse Of Union Jail In Kansas City Pg 34-38Quantrill's Trip to Texas in 1863 In "Noted Guerrillas, or the Warfare of the Border" Pg 38-45Quantrill's Raiders In Grayson County Texas, Good Guys or Bad?
