Emboscada Heróica

The Butcher William Quantrill arose the imaginary of a whole generation on western genre, thousand pictures were done almost in large industrial scale, Quantrill's Riders besides to be inaccurate is also brazenly flimsy, for instance in one specific sequence Captain Alan Westcott (Steve Cochran) asking Quantrill (Leo Gordon) how many soldiers he already had, he answer around forty, then Alan advise him to gather at least sixty soldiers at upcoming Lawrence's arsenal raid, due it were surround by strong US Union forces on the city, nevertheless at final scenes when really Quantrill invaded Lawrence just fifteen of them appears there, I think that someone didn't knew check properly, also at jail when Westcott asking for talk with the boy, suddenly he put a dagger at his neck, a good man never could do such ruthlessness and be forgiven and finally Quantrill's death to crow it all the inaccurate facts, I know this is a merely dramatization, nonetheless the producers shouldn't try to re-write the history to doesn't fall at mass grave of the hypotriques!!
