You've helped me before, so I will take a crack at both questions. I don't know if my answers will completely satisfy what you seek, but they may head you in a helpful direction.

1. I don't know if I have seen a complete lists of fatalities and material loss ledgers for all the Jayhawker raids. The closest I have seen is the three long articles about the Jayhawker raids in west MO by Hildegarde Ross Herklotz in 1923 in the April, July, and October 1923 issues of the "Missouri Historical Review." She comes closest to the most complete history of most of the jayhawking raids I have seen.

The problem remains that the jayhawking raids continued by renegades and for booty in NW MO north of the MO River during 1863 and 1864, and I don't recall that Ms. Herklotz covered those. These 1863 and 1864 raids were one-night affairs either to steal or to liberate slave families and were performed by a combination of freed or fugitive slaves, border renegades, Kansas soldiers, and the like. Also, Kansas soldiers interferred with many pursuits over into Kansas land after these little raids. I record a bunch of these from such period sources as the "O.R.", period newspapers, and the like in my 1863 book and in my 1864 book (now in progress).

2. The best works that chronicle some of John Noland's exploits include Barton's 1914 memoir of guerrilla John McCorkle (pages 43-4) and Wm. E. Connelley's 1910 "Quantrill and the Border Wars" (page 310). Castel in his 1962 "William Clarke Quantrill: His Life and Times" on pages 123, 133, and 231 has some, too. There is some conjecture about Noland's motivation in some of these accounts, but I dont' recall which. The late Donald R. Hale in his 1974 "We Rode With Quantrill" on pages 159 and 160 has a little on black man Henry Wilson, who also performed as a spy for the band.
