    About this audiobook

    Award-winning novelist and historian, Duane Schultz, dramatically recreates the treachery of Civil War "Colonel" William Clarke Quantrill's life and the riveting climax of his infamous raid on Lawrence, Kansas. From letters and diaries, Schultz skillfully weaves together this exciting, dark side of Quantrill-a man who was part warrior, part villain. At first, William Clarke Quantrill conveniently sided with whomever was the strongest at the time-abolitionists or slavery supporters-but eventually, he settled on backing the Confederacy. With his charismatic personality, he attracted a motley band of idealists and renegades for his guerilla army. Quantrill longed to be an officer, but when the Confederacy refused to commission him because of his tactics of murdering for pleasure and looting for gain, he simply took the title of colonel and later, captain. Narrator Richard M. Davidson takes the listener to the battlefields, bringing to life the people, sights, and sounds of the Civil War. The combination of Schultz's masterful descriptions and Davidson's sense of timing makes Quantrill's history as exciting as today's headlines.

    Author

    Duane Schultz

    This is Duane Schultz’s first foray in writing a book, as he wanted to do a legacy piece for his children and grandchildren. After this stint in rock and roll back in the day, he graduated from college and worked for Wisconsin’s Governor Lucy as an Administrative Assistant, then setting up workforce training programs across the state. He was then hired on at Milwaukee Area Technical College. Initially, he worked with community-based classes, retraining programs, and outreach efforts, and then he set up workplace education and supervised technology programs in the technical and industrial division. He wrote numerous state and federal grants while working at the college. He is now retired and living in the Milwaukee area.

      I'm one of the lucky ones. Leaving the madness of U.S. Army life with a modest pension and all of my limbs intact feels like a genuine escape. Both the Army and I knew it was time for me to go. I'd tired of carrying water for empire and they'd grown
