The American Civil War on the Missouri-Kansas line was fought in cornfields, cabins and ravines, far from ordered ranks. This is war without mercy. In Noted Guerrillas; or, The Warfare of the Border, Confederate veteran and newspaperman John N. Edwards assembles gripping accounts of 19th century Missouri guerrillas, from Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson to the young Jesse James. A cornerstone of Civil War guerrilla history, it plunges the reader into Missouri Kansas border warfare, where Confederate bushwhackers and raiders wage a ruthless, intimate conflict beyond the formal battlefield. Part collective chronicle, part William Quantrill biography book, this classic Civil War history book traces raids, reprisals and shifting allegiances with the immediacy of lived memory. Edwards writes from the American Civil War west, capturing landscapes, tempers and codes of honour that later shaped Jesse James outlaw history and the wider legend of the American West. Long recognised by historians of American West military history, Noted Guerrillas remains indispensable for Civil War enthusiasts and for military history students seeking to understand irregular warfare, loyalty and vengeance on the frontier. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
