Trade Review
In A Man by Any Other Name, Beilein has crafted a biography of a man, essentially unknown, whose actions make him an important figure in the Civil War as it was fought on the western borderland. Quantrill is representative of hundreds of comparable figures who fade into and out of communities’ contested regions. What Beilein has done here is give life to an individual and a broader group that desperately need to be known by modern scholars." - Brian D. McKnight, coeditor of The Guerrilla Hunters: Irregular Conflicts During the Civil War
