Harrison Trow

1843–1925

Remembered in Civil War history rather than for a literary career, this Missouri figure is most often noted for his association with Quantrill’s guerrillas. Surviving records are sparse, which gives his story a shadowy, hard-to-pin-down quality.

About the author

Born in 1843 and dying in 1925, Harrison Trow appears in historical collections connected to the American Civil War, especially material about Missouri and the Kansas border conflict. The clearest source surfaced here is a Kansas City Public Library history page devoted to him.

That page presents him as a figure linked to William Quantrill’s guerrillas, and another Kansas City history record mentions him alongside Babe Hudspeth in connection with the Centralia Massacre late in the war. Because the available material found here is historical and archival rather than biographical, only a limited outline of his life can be stated with confidence.

No reliable evidence was found in this search that he was a published author in the usual literary sense. If this entry is being used on a book page, it may be best understood as referring to a historical person whose life has been documented in archives, not a well-documented novelist or nonfiction writer.
