While the American Civil War is well-known for large-scale battles that involved thousands of men, like Gettysburg, Chickamauga, and Shiloh, the conflict between North and South was also fought in small communities across the Bluegrass, where armed men were quick to settle differing opinions with the barrel of a gun. Such was the case along the border states of Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland, and Delaware, where family loyalties were divided equally between both Yankee blue and Rebel gray. In Guerrilla Warfare in Civil War Kentucky, Volume II, author Gerald Fischer continues his exploration into the bloody exploits of William Quantrill, Sue Mundy, Bill Marrion, Isaiah Coalter, Billy Magruder, Ed Terrell, and other guerrilla fighters who terrorized the Heartland of Kentucky and bordering states during the Civil War. The perfect companion piece to Fischer's original work, Volume II provides direct quotes from newspaper accounts from the era, along with a detailed timeline that makes the sequence of local events, gunfights, and deaths more clear. Fischer also expounds on the backgrounds of these desperate men, which gives insight into why they followed their bloody path to an early grave.
