Bibliography

1. Edwards, John Newman, "Noted Guerrillas, or The Warfare of the Border," Bryan, Brand & Company, St. Louis, 1877, (G. E. Rule, D. H. Rule, www.civilwarstlouis.com, 2002, CD-ROM). This book is the under-laying source for everything written about Sim Whitsett during his guerrilla years. Sim Whitsett's name appears in the book 28 times. Edwards was never acquainted with Quantrill and based his work on the memories of ex-raiders like Simeon Whitsett. Because Sim's name appears so often, and since he was not a leader in the group during the war, I suspect he was one of Edwards' sources which caused him to be mentioned so prominently. This book is available on CD from www.civilwarstlouis.com for a very nominal fee. Also included on the CD-ROM is the John Edwards 1873 article about the James gang, A Terrible Quintette, one of the first Edwards wrote glamorizing the James gang. Noted Guerrillas was an outgrowth of A Terrible Quintette and Edwards' earlier book, Shelby and His Men: The War in The West.

7. Burch, John P., "Charles W. Quantrell A True History of His Guerrilla Warfare on The Missouri and Kansas Border During The Civil War of 1861 to 1865 as Told by Captain Harrison Trow,"  (1923).  This book by its existence defines the word "plagiarism." Whole sections of this book were copied verbatim from John N. Edwards' book "Noted Guerrillas" and presented as the personal memories of Harrison Trow as told to Burch.  Edwards' book is never mentioned. Burch's book has nothing about Sim Whitsett that is not contained in Edwards' book published almost fifty years earlier. I list it here only because it was the first book about Quantrill I discovered that mentioned Sim Whitsett by name. It is interesting that Burch even copied Edwards' mistake about Quantrill's name, calling him Charles William Quantrell, rather than William Clarke Quantrill. By 1923 when Burch's book was published there was no confusion about Quantrill's given name. The spelling "Quantrell" is sometimes accepted (but wrong) even today; however, he was never known as Charles William, except as maybe an occasional alias in his pre-war years.
