for anyone who missed the cigarette cards, letters etc... that explain who quincy harris is, here you go:
red dead wiki: “General Harris was a prominent leader on the side of the Confederacy... A report can be found among the ruins of Fort Brennand, describing the massacre that was occurring at the fort by troops commanded by Harris during the Civil War. The document and the fort are references to the real-life Battle of Fort Pillow and Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. More than any other single item in the game, this document makes a direct connection between Harris and a historical person.”
forrest’s wikipedia: “[At the Battle of Fort Pillow] in what has been called one of the bleakest, saddest events of American military history, troops under Forrest’s command massacred Union troops who had surrendered, most of them black soldiers... Forrest joined the Ku Klux Klan in 1867 and was elected its first Grand Wizard.”
