Quantrill in Lawrence A portrait of a changing man
The piece traces William Quantrill from his Lawrence residence and schooling to his later transformation into a feared outlaw. It weighs contrasting opinions from Kansas and Missouri sources, notes his name change to Charley Hart, and probes why a once-sentimental teacher drifted into crime and alliance with outlaw groups before leaving Lawrence in 1860.
