Highly recommended.--Civil War Books and Authors Gregg's prose is brisk and lively as the guerrilla moves through his many experiences serving under William Quantrill. Rather than simply an edited version of Gregg's memoir. . . Beilein uses the work as a thoughtful case study of the ways in which history is made and unmade.--The Civil War Monitor

During the Civil War, Gregg served under William Clarke Quantrill from late 1861 to early 1964. After leaving Quantrill's band, he joined General Joe Shelby and was made a captain in Shankss Brigade. After the war Gregg returned to his farm in Jackson County and served as a deputy sheriff, during which time he wrote of his experiences with Quantrill. Joseph M.
