I wrote Confederate Guerrilla Sue Mundy, a non-fiction, fully accurate
Civil War book. Perry Albert Brantley assisted.
I am Thomas Shelby Watson, born and raised in Spencer County,
Kentucky where the guerrilla bands were thick and where William
Quantrill was mortally wounded in the last action of the war
east of the Mississippi River.
The book is a true depiction of the ruthlessness in Kentucky as
the war was drawing to a close. Although some writers sought to
paint Jerome Clarke as sometimes dressing as a woman in order to
spy for the south, there was never any proof of such activity. In fact,
he had a female sweetheart, whose picture is in the book.
Another book about Jerome Clarke is fiction.
