Mystery of William Quantrill of Quantrill’s Raiders: He led his band of Rebel guerrillas until May 1865. Union soldiers found him in Wakefield Kentucky. He was wounded and taken to Louisville where he died—maybe. 2 men living under aliases claimed to be him. He has 3 graves. In 1973, I was visiting the Wakefield Grocery. The grocery owner pinted adross the road to the farm and barn where Quantrill had died. The grocery had been the 1865 Wakefield railroad station (you could still see where tracks had been). I didn’t visit the farm—I doubt if the farm or the grocery are still there. (the James Brothers were with Quantrill)
