Description
The Civil War's most notorious personality and its most shocking event have inspired legends. These have largely blurred the truth of an event too important to yield to false reports. How a man who could have been a respected educator became America's greatest outlaw -- how a liberator of slaves became a Confederate partisan and then a merciless guerrilla who swore to kill every man in a town that he felt had wronged him -- is an account that might be ripped from current headlines. Sadly, William Clarke Quantrill, mastermind of the Lawrence Massacre, wasn't an incomprehensible monster, but a young man twisted by passions that could produce his like in this land today. Understanding him might help us understand our own times.
