Ah, Art, you are much more amazing. Welcome to you all. I just thought this was incredible to read, being a first-hand account and all.

I happened to find this because I wanted some more background on Quantrell and the James boys. According to my dad's stories, my great-grandmother, whose father was a Confederate spy, had met Quantrell and said, despite all the horrible things he did, she found him to be quite a kind gentleman. I guess he passed through where they were once and she wound up doing some laundry for him.

Thanks, again,
