Both Cole Younger and Frank James did leave Quantrill and join the regular Confederate army later in the war, but both were present at the infamous Lawrence, Kansas massacre (though there is some dispute as to whether Jesse James was there or joined Quantrill later that year, most evidence indicates he was not at Lawrence).

 A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man | James Joyce | Music
Joyce's first attempt at limning in modern prose the inner experience of the artist, Stephen Hero, was a failure, not because it was written "badly," but because the material had hold of him and not the other way around.
This piece appears in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, where a very young Stephen Dedalus quotes it verbatim, thinking in his sick bed how sweet and sad the words are and how sentimental his own funeral is likely to be.
Stephen, in attempting to dissociate himself from his family and home, is deeply stirred by the song and the unhappy condition of his brothers and sisters, and for a moment he is sorely tempted to remain in Ireland rather than flee to the Continent to pursue his destiny as an artist.

Many people (but mostly men, we suspect), and not just the religious fanatics, considered it "unnatural" to alleviate the pain of childbirth, no doubt believing agony to be an important part of the whole life-giving experience.
