Pat, When I click on the link it goes there. I don't know what's wrong. This is a small part of the list. The Kansas Heritage Server would like to thank Richard A. Ensminger for contributing to this material. Rich passed away 29 May 1996 at Kirkwood, Missouri. He was 58 years old and had been with ALMSA, SIMA, and LSSC since 1969. Memorial services were held at Webster Groves, Missouri. Rich loved to read about the old west, and this material is archived in Rich's memory. From "Richard A. Ensminger" 22-MAR-1996 Subject: Quantrill File Update Update to the Quantrill Guerrilla file, version 3.5. Version 3.5 28 December 1993 MEMBERS OF QUANTRILL'S GUERRILLAS IN THE CIVIL WAR ============================================================= Sources: 1. Grey Ghosts of the Confederacy, by Richard Brownlee 2. Quantrill and His Civil War Guerillas, by Carl Breihan 3. My Three Years With Quantrill, by John McCorkle 4. Saga of Jesse James, by Carl Breihan 5. Ride the Razor's Edge, by Carl Breihan 6. The Border Bandits, by James W. Buel 7. The Complete and Authentic Life of Jesse James, by Carl Breihan, with an introduction by Homer Croy 8. Jesse James Was His Name, by William A. Settle, Jr. Disclaimer: Only these sources listed above were used to compile the following list. Other authors have presented this subject, but were not available to me at this time. Carl Breihan claims that only 296 names have been verified as members of Quantrill's band. This list is considerably longer than 296 names. I have indicated where the lists agree and disagree, without making judgements. The wide variance is possibly due to the inclusion of names of recruits who may have been placed in Quantrill's charge to transport them to Confederate territory, and who may have been wounded, killed, captured, or otherwise identified during the transit period. Additional information on the lives of individuals after the close of the Civil War was drawn from his book on Jesse James. ============================================================= THE FREEDOM RAID Quantrill's first raid, the so-called "Freedom Raid", December 1860. Quantrill set up 5 Kansans in a fake raid on the Morgan Walker farm near Blue Springs, MO, 10 Dec 1860. The ambush was by Andy Walker, later member of Quantrill's guerrillas John Tatum, Lee Koger, D. C. Williams, later member of Quantrill's guerrillas Charles Ball, escaped the ambush, went back for Lipsey. Killed two days later by Quantrill and others. John Dean, wounded, escaped back to Lawerence, KS. Chalkey T. Lipsey, seriously wounded. Rescued by Charles Ball. Hid out in nearby woods. Found and killed two days later. Albert Southwick, escaped back to Lawerence, KS. Edwin Morrison, killed. ============================================================= BUILDING COLLAPSE, KANSAS CITY, MO 13 August 1863 Several female relatives were held in confinement in a delapidated building in Kansas City, MO. There is no proof that the foundations were diliberately weakened, despite the claims of Quantrill's men. The death and injuries to the women are often cited as the justification for the continued activity and acts of the guerrillas. both during the Civil War and afterward. Note that several of the Jesse James family were involved in this incident or similar ones. I have not included members of the James family other than Frank and Jesse in order to reduce the confusion of trying to keep Quantrill's career separate from the James'. Note: The building was located on the site of 1409 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. These women were: 1. Mrs. Charity Kerr, sister of John McCorkle--killed. 2. Mrs. Nannie McCorkle, sister-in-law of John McCorkle--uninjured. 3. Susan Vandiver, cousin of Cole Younger--uninjured. 4. Armenia Gilvey, cousin of Cole Younger--killed. 5. Josephine Anderson, sister of Bill Anderson--killed. 6. Mary Anderson, sister of Bill Anderson--crippled (age 16). (both legs broken) 7. Jennie Anderson, sister of Bill Anderson--uninjuried (age 10). ============================================================= LEGEND: * = Member of the first band, formed Winter 1860 + = Also listed by Carl Breihan's "Quantrill and His Civil War Guerrillas" ++ = Listed only by Breihan NAME ORGANIZATION REMARKS ============================================================= Agen, (No Christian name given) Anderson Killed 1864 Akers, Slyvester (Vess)+ Quantrill Survived war Went to KY with Quantrill.
