The Daily Dispatch: December 8, 1860., [Electronic resource], Montgomery. (search)
has a character for bravery; but how or where he gained it, none can tell. He has been the leader in the guerilla wars of Southern Kansas since John Brown vacated the Captainship to inaugurate his Harper's Ferry raid; but his career shows that while he is possessed of the same fanaticism, he lacks the insane bravery of his former commander. His blood-thirsty disposition first displayed itself in the murders of Wilkinson and Doyle in 1856, and since that time he has allowed no opportunity to pass to show that he hesitates at nothing, in order to gratify his brutal hatred against pro-slavery men. Like John Brown, he, too, unites the character of religion, fanaticism, and undying vengeance. During the past year he has frequently attended and officiated in religious meetings, and of late has filled appointments to preach. On the Sunday on which his men hung Hines, he held forth to a congregation in the neighborhood.--His text is always the 'Higher law,' and death to slaveholders."
