Guerrillas in Civil War Missouri by James W. Erwin
I had no idea that Missouri had such a bloody Civil War experience. I read not only about Jesse and Frank James, but I learned a bit about bloody Bill Anderson, the butcher of Centralia too. If you want to liven up your commute by learning of the battles and skirmishes that took place along your route, this book is a good introduction. 128 pages.

The author did a reading/signing at our library and his talk was great. Thanks for giving me the push to get this book back on my list!
