Bud and Donny Pence, great uncles of author Samuel Anderson Pence and neighbors and contemporaries of Frank and Jesse James, were members of Quantrill's Guerrillas during the Civil War. They participated in many engagements against Union forces led by William Quantrill, including the ill-fated foray into Kentucky in 1865, and survived to tell about it. Their stories, and the stories of many other guerrillas, are told in this book.Sam Pence, a native of Clay County, Missouri, worked on this manuscript for many years but never published it. Now, forty years after his death, his grandson Daniel Pence has edited and published the work, keeping the flavor of Sam's folksy, down-to-earth style of writing. Sam arranged the work in a manner similar to that of John Newman Edwards, author of Noted Guerrillas, which Sam references. Quantrill expert Harold Dellinger added more current information on some of the guerrillas. Carolyn M. Bartels provided additional subject matter expertise and editing.This book contains an index of names and a biographical section on many of the men who rode with Quantrill and made the ill-fated trip into Kentucky on January 1, 1865. There are photographs of William Quantrill, "Bloody Bill" Anderson, Allen Parmer, Bud Pence, and Donny Pence. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
