In Response To: Re: The Wagon Train of Drunks ()

I found the reference about the whiskey and drunks:

comes from Leslie's "Devil Knows How to Ride" pg 92-93. He attributes in his notes the story of the whiskey and 300 hundred men becoming drunk to a report by Captain Henry E Palmer.

Leslie also repeats the 10 deaths at Osceola and attributes to an article by John Speer "The burning of Osceola, Missouri, by Lane and the Quantrill Massacre Contrasted", Kansas Historical Collections 6 (1897-1900) pg 305-312
