I don't think this link will disappear anytime soon. I had put it in a thread which I just updated the other day about the Civil War and KS. Anyway, there is a vivid description of the Massacre, written at the time at this site.

I think Amos is spot on. Some of what has been quoted above, esp. Q's last paragraph, certainly seems apropos in light of the the American soldiers who have raped and murdered and are now blaming it on the stress of battle. The world never seems to lack for the Quantrells, does it?
