When one thinks of William Quantrill, Bloody Bill Anderson, and men like the James and Younger Brothers, they may automatically think of Missouri and Kansas. But Quantrill's Raiders are a fascinating part of Grayson County and North Texas history as well. This book will explore their activities in North Texas, both during, and after the Civil War. This writer's purpose is not to overtly try to take one side over the other, concerning the morality of that war, or those who fought in it. Many original sources will be presented from the time of the war and shortly afterward explaining the times. Both sides will be presented and the humanity of the people involved will be taken into consideration.CONTENTS:Section One - Quantrill's Raiders in North TexasIntroduction Pg 7-10A short introduction and overview of Quantrill's Raiders in North Texas Pages 11 - 20Quantrill's 1861 Trip to North Texas and Grayson County Pg 21-25Quantrill's Raiders in 1862 Pg 25-28Quantrill In 1863 -1864 Pg 29-33Collapse Of Union Jail In Kansas City Pg 34-38Quantrill's Trip to Texas in 1863 In "Noted Guerrillas, or the Warfare of the Border" Pg 38-45Quantrill's Raiders In Grayson County Texas, Good Guys or Bad?

In the fall of 1863, William Clarke Quantrill, the Missouri bushwhacker, took about three hundred of his followers across Indian Territory to Sherman, Texas. In the Lone Star State, the bushwhackers made camp at Mineral Creek. Henry McCulloch, the Confederate commander of the District of Northeast Texas, tried to find a use for the pseudo-rebels, but they failed in rounding up deserters, chasing Indians, and destroying moonshiners. They did manage to ravage the city of Sherman, getting drunk and shooting the tassels off the hat of Grayson County's leading lady, Sophia Butts. They also robbed and killed citizens, including Sophia's husband. Then they began to fight among themselves until Quantrill's command splintered. Texas seemed little changed in the guerrillas' wake, but the atrocities they committed after returning north show that their time near Sherman changed them decisively.

In the states of the former Confederacy, Reconstruction amounted to a second Civil War, one that white southerners were determined to win. An important chapter in that undeclared conflict played out in northeast Texas, in the Corners region where Grayson, Fannin, Hunt, and Collin Counties converged. Part of that violence came to be called the Lee-Peacock Feud, a struggle in which Unionists led by Lewis Peacock and former Confederates led by Bob Lee sought to even old scores, as well as to set the terms of the new South, especially regarding the status of freed slaves. Until recently, the Lee-Peacock violence has been placed squarely within the Lost Cause mythology. This account sets the record straight. For Bob Lee, a Confederate veteran, the new phase of the war began when he refused to release his slaves. When Federal officials came to his farm in July to enforce emancipation, he fought back and finally fled as a fugitive. In the relatively short time left to his life, he claimed personally to have killed at least forty people--civilian and military, Unionists and freedmen. Peacock, a dedicated leader of the Unionist efforts, became his primary target and chief foe. Both men eventually died at the hands of each other's supporters. From previously untapped sources in the National Archives and other records, the authors have tracked down the details of the Corners violence and the larger issues it reflected, adding to the reinterpretation of Reconstruction history and rescuing from myth events that shaped the following century of Southern politics.

Most histories of Civil War Texas—some starring the fabled Hood’s Brigade, Terry’s Texas Rangers, or one or another military figure—depict the Lone Star State as having joined the Confederacy as a matter of course and as having later emerged from the war relatively unscathed. Yet as the contributors to this volume amply demonstrate, the often neglected stories of Texas Unionists and dissenters paint a far more complicated picture. Ranging in time from the late 1850s to the end of Reconstruction, Lone Star Unionism, Dissent, and Resistance restores a missing layer of complexity to the history of Civil War Texas. The authors—all noted scholars of Texas and Civil War history—show that slaves, freedmen and freedwomen, Tejanos, German immigrants, and white women all took part in the struggle, even though some never found themselves on a battlefield. Their stories depict the Civil War as a conflict not only between North and South but also between neighbors, friends, and family members. By framing their stories in the analytical context of the “long Civil War,” Lone Star Unionism, Dissent, and Resistance reveals how friends and neighbors became enemies and how the resulting violence, often at the hands of secessionists, crossed racial and ethnic lines. The chapters also show how ex-Confederates and their descendants, as well as former slaves, sought to give historical meaning to their experiences and find their place as citizens of the newly re-formed nation. Concluding with an account of the origins of Juneteenth—the nationally celebrated holiday marking June 19, 1865, when emancipation was announced in Texas—Lone Star Unionism, Dissent, and Resistance challenges the collective historical memory of Civil War Texas and its place in both the Confederacy and the United States. It provides material for a fresh narrative, one including people on the margins of history and dispelling the myth of a monolithically Confederate Texas.

THE SAGAEveryone and every place has a story - a saga. Old Preston Bend, its people and the grand house that came to exemplify Preston - Glen Eden - were no exception. The Saga of Preston Bend and Glen Eden is a very interesting tale. It is full of grand success and failures to match. As most interesting tales are, it is a very old story - one that never really had a definite beginning and never really came to an end. Even though its physical presence, in the 1940s, was Gone With The Water of the lake, its memory, still to this day - lingers on.Let us remember together the fascinating Saga of Preston Bend and Glen Eden. The companion book to this one will be "Crime and Calamity in Preston Bend." I invite you to relive the wild times on the old horseshoe bend of the Red River in both books. - Natalie Clountz BaumanThis book will not be exhaustive, or it would be immense. I will attempt to add to what has been presented before in other books, not just repeat it. This book will present the story of Preston Bend, its people and especially those centered around its most famous mansion - Glen Eden. My purpose is to make information available that you will not see everywhere else, and make it accessible in one place, so you won't have to do all the hours of research yourself to find it all. This has always been my goal. I am a great lover of this area and its history, being a descendant of residents who came here as early as 1866. I have always been regaled with stories of area history, admired the old pictures and written about its people since my teen years. My education and training were not in history or writing, but in photography, accounting and computers. My love for my local history and my desire to preserve it for the future, compelled me to attempt to fill holes I saw in the current historical record, especially in the northwestern part of Grayson County. I am no expert, but I do try my best! I do all the research, I format the book myself and publish it. Please forgive any shortcomings you may recognize in my writings. I hope my work has improved with experience.
