I am looking for: I may purchase these, but want to know if they have what I need in them. too many focus on Quantrell, I need to know abt lesser gangs. if you have any of these, I would appreciate a look-up in them for Francis Wyruck aka Frank Wyruck/Wyrick. he is claimed to have headed a gang of bushwackers in the Civil War, but I can only find mention of this so far in The History of Vernon Co. (Missouri) and an unpublished story which a copy of is now at the Kansas or Missouri archives, I've forgot which. maybe both. since I live in a small city with little in the way of a library, I don't have access to these books.

Guerilla Warfare in Civil War Missouri 1862
The Civil War on the Border
Bushwacker Musings
Missouri Prisoners of War
The Robber Bands
Fire and Sword
Bushwackers on the Border
any book of this subject that may refer to Francis and his gang.

thank you, it's much appreciated.
I would like a look up.
