Confederate guerrilla Sue Mundy

The book is a unique study of Confederate soldier Marcellus Jerome Clarke, who, because of Louisville Journal Editor George Prentice, became known as the fictitous "Sue Mundy." It explains why Prentice chose to use the name in his stories, that depicted Clarke as the woman raider "Sue Mundy." In addition to complete coverage of Clarke's service as a cavalryman under Brig Gen John Hunt Morgan, his association with Capt William Clarke Quantrill, including the most accurate story of Quantrill's last skirmish, his wounding and death. Many other soldiers of fortune are covered in the book by Thomas Shelby Watson, a former Kentucky broadcast editor for the Associated Press and member of the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame. Most of the photos in the book are first publication and were all provided by the author.
