    I grew up in Central Missouri (Boonslick area). A friend's family still lives and farms on property their family has owned since before the Civil War. The farm is located some miles south of Centralia. During an excavation on their property in the late '60's, University of Missouri archeologists/researchers discovered a buried leather satchel containing numerous gold coins and a 'boot pistol' buried in the corner of an old stone foundation that once supported a barn. Some of the coins had mint dates of 1860. They theorized that the loot had been buried either before or after the massacre at Centralia by one of Anderson's men who never made it back to claim it. It was common for Confederate raiders to rob banks in Missouri during the War to finance their operations. Most banks were owned by Union sympathizers and were considered fair game. The artifacts are on display at the University of Missouri - Columbia campus.

    My great Grandfather was kidnapped by Bushwackers in Pope County Arkansas in 1862 or 63, he was 12 years old. He was used to help drive the Bushwackers ill gotten horses and cattle toward Missouri. After several weeks travel north the Bushwackers told him he could go back home. When he got back home he had been gone 3 months. My Grandfather told me this story and several more about the Bushwackers.

    My ancestors were bushwackers. When researching my family I discovered an author that did the entire Burgess line and even published a book on it called "The House of Burgesses." A couple road with Quantrill' raiders, housed them, and fed them. Henrietta Burgess (born Henrietta McCown) was even imprisoned with Bloody Bill's sisters. Reverend Garland Burgess was even one of the founders of Johnson County and the family was involved in the Johnson County fued (or at least supported McCown). History is rich.

    As a " son of the Confederacy" that lives in the shadow of Kennesaw Mtn. .... Your mention of Mr Raines reminds. A great subject for a future episode of your show would be the story of the Raines Brothers - armorers of the Confederacy. They did a lot of incredible stunts from moving huge rolling mills over land to Augusta, Ga. ( where the confederate arsenal would produce powder of such a high quality that it was still being used in WW I..... To the incredible booby traps they designed - E.G. Small bombs that were cast to look like lumps of coal that could be tossed into union train coal supplies to blow up their boilers. The ruins of the Augusta powder mill are still there today.

Outside of town people were mega suspicious of any newcomers and having guns pulled on you was a common occurrence, there was even still whole families of outlaws that lived all down one road out in the boonies.

Come to find out they wanted to point out the local pedo that was across the river because " I'm here with my kids". They said if he comes over here he won't be leaving, and that I was invited to help them handle it. They said they noticed I handed my pistol to my father when I went for a swim.

    I'm a civil war buff but not as well versed in these smaller operations that leaders like RE Lee, Longstreet, Jackson etc, did NOT faver and in fact, held in contempt.
    Even raider John Hunt Morgan did not have a favorable opinion of the Quantrill/Anderson types.
    But the info I learned from you was FANTASTIC, and your delivery and voice inflection made it great to listen to.
    You spoke several times of bloody Kansas and general Thomas Ewing Jr and orders #11 putting the most people out of their homes up until the Japanese in WW2.
    He's my great great blood uncle.
    One of his 3 brothers (also several sisters) is my great great grandfather, Brigadier and later Major General....General Hugh Boyle Ewing, one of the 2 other brothers, also my great great blood uncle was General Charles Ewing...who was general William Tecumseh Sherman's right hand man during the 'March to the Sea' and up into the Carolinas.
    All 3 Ewing generals had one sister named Ellen Ewing who became Ellen Ewing Sherman when she married her FOSTER brother William Tecumseh Sherman....so "The TORCH"... of Atlanta and Columbia SC is my great great uncle through marriage to my great great blood aunt Ellen Ewing-Sherman.
    Little 'Cumpy' Sherman was adopted as a foster child by my 3XXX great grandfather US senator from Ohio, Thomas Ewing Sr.
    The Sherman's lived 2 houses down the hill in Lancaster Ohio from the wealthy Ewings.
    At 9 yrs old, little Cumpy's dad died out on the circuit as a judge.
    Cumpy was one of 10 children and Mrs Sherman had to adopt several kids out.
    My 3XXX great grandfather Thomas Ewing Sr, told Mrs Sherman, "Give me your most intelligent male child, and I will raise him"..
    Mrs Sherman said, "This little red-head here is the smartest".
    Senator Ewing (also the FIRST EVER 'Secretary of the Interior' in president Zachary Taylor's admin, when he created that cabinet position) adopted Cumpy Sherman and at 16 years of age the senator got Sherman an appointment to West Point where he graduated 6th in his class.....and the rest is "history".
    In a round about way, General Sherman coined the phrase, ...."WAR IS HELL"....(actually saying "war is ALL hell".

What amazes me is how these men that fought under Bill Anderson ever numbered more than 80 and we go up against thousands of Union troops using three 6 and 9 shot revolvers each. They knew the importance of Firepower and getting in and out of a battle fighting from the back of their horses! Bushwackers they were called, guerilla warfighters they were...

He was also not formally trained in military tactics and joined his own legion as a private and ended up as the ANV cavalry chieftan who won the largest cavalry battle of the war at trevilian Station, also famous for his entanglement with 3 Michigan Cavalrymen at east Cav field where he killed 2 splitting one of their heads clean in two and severing the 3rds arm clean off while himself suffering a slash to the skull and a pistol shot to the abdomen . Wounded 5 times , he was shot in the heel at the wilderness and never left the saddle . He saw both of his sons shot down in battle a minute apart from one another , one fatally he had but a moment to spend with the two before riding to the front to do work with his solingen bladed long sword . He was a man among men

The book is free (public domain) and can be read or downloaded at the Internet Archive. There is also "Quantrill and the Border Wars" by William Connelley. That book can also be found at the same place but beware, it is written from the Jayhawker point of view.

  • @TexasElectrician77
    @TexasElectrician77 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Great video and very enjoyable. I’m 5th generation Texan and I can see the war between the states from different points of view. However, this guy was a sociopathic killer. Without arguing the points you mentioned early on, there were a multitude of horrors inflicted on civilians and private property in a lot of places besides Missouri, all over the Confederacy. Read the history of the Tabasco plant on Avery Island, La. It’s really a salt dome elevated higher than the surrounding land and thus surrounded by water. The original McIlhenny family that started making Tabasco sauce fled there during the war because of the Union soldiers coming into Baton Rouge and New Orleans. They looted, ransacked and burned homes, fields and businesses all over the South. What happened to Zerelda Cole was typical tactics and the type of terrorism that fueled killers like Jesse James. The war was not over for them and for a lot of other people. Slavery is bad. So is an all-powerful, central federal government like we now suffer under. Exactly what our founding fathers did not want, thats why most of the power was held by the states and why statehood was not easily obtained. I believe that slavery would have ended in another 20-40 years anyway. The north would have been financially crippled by the loss of southern cotton at a cheap price to supply their textile mills. It was going to be sold to Great Britain and France. The loss of control of the. Mississippi river would also have been devastating to westward expansion and trade for states and territories North of Tennessee or possibly Kentucky.

    • @colt110987

      Not many people can be open minded enough to except the history of the violence and controversy surrounding northern aggression. Northern states were using these same tactics on Native Americans long before and after the civil war ended. My family in South Carolina is Cherokee, Welsh and Scandinavian decent, never had slaves, ran a 1200 acre farm for 92 years. They provided food for both sides at different times. After it was mostly burned down following the end of the war, there wasn’t enough infrastructure left for farmers to rebuild unless they had union currency or connections. Then a Union politician from Michigan sent an investor to buy farm land and my family sold most of the property for survival. It was sold after 92 years for less than it was originally purchased for. I’m grateful that they recoded and passed down this information through generations.

    You know what, my bet would be that Bloody Bill Anderson had that cord of silk with knots tied in it maybe men that he killed up-close-and-personal, not just killed, because when they're running through the enemy in battles I'm sure the body count would be over 100 in the battles he had been in. But man that he killed up-close-and-personal they have been on that thread of silk. Nice job again telling the story I love listening and learning about this history. It's like other people that I consider Heroes, like Clyde Barrow did some killing so did Jesse James. I think War does that to people especially when they're young as these guys were. I don't condone that, but I haven't been what they went through, even though I am a veteran of foreign war, not anything like those guys experienced! So I don't feel like I can judge them...

They rode into the farm, looted and stole everything they could, killed her husband and all but one son. He was a baby and so was dressed in frills. She made the men believe he was a baby girl so they let him live. They raped her and her daughters (not under 10 years old), set fire to the farm and left her and the children to starve to death. After burying her husband and sons, my grandmother cobbled together what she'd hidden and what was left and took her remaining children south to settle in north Texas.

    Most people today have no idea how life was back then. A lot of the important things in your life was predetermined at birth. It was extremely difficult. If you grew up poor, you'd likely die poor. Most people were patriotic but had immense pride in their state. If you were from Kentucky and came from the southern part of the state, then joining the Kentucky CSA regiment would be a given. If your going to go to war, then the least you can do is make it a total war. Bill was great at that. Look at the men he trained; the James boys. They continually used the same tactics Bill was known for.

      If you like Jim Bowie you won't like the truth about him he was a big time land scammer. He fled Louisiana to Texas because of sales of land he owned no title to. He started up sales of land he had no title to again, and was fixing to get in trouble for that when the Alamo happened. Also thair where murder charges following him around.

    My family lived at an Iowa farm on the Missouri border and Great-Great Grandfather, as a farmer living next to a rebel state was a member of the Iowa Southern Border Brigade. He periodically inspected the state line around his property looking for Bush wackers or rebel activity. There was actually a lot of cross-border violence between Iowa and Missouri, consisting of; farm murders, chasing escaping slaves, kidnapping and stealing livestock. There were numerous unofficial organizations on both sides; The Union League and Wide Awakes in the loyal states and The Golden Knights and others in slave states.

      The Wide Awakes actually saved Union efforts at the beginning of the war by forming and ad-hoc milita and prevented confederate units from taking St. Louis.... they still exist to this day lol

    Live in Lee's Summit where the Youngers are buried, about 4 miles east of my home. My family owned slaves in Lewis Country and all the extend family was in the thick of the Bushwhacking going on in NE Missouri. Yup, one uncle Aquilla Standiford was court marshalled and executed for killing a Federal in 1863 or 64. In the early 90's when in college I did primary source research at MU in Columbia and wrote a paper about the atrocities to the civilian population during the Civil War. There are some amazing documents there with untold stories from civilians of how they suffered. Great podcast!

      @@WildWestExtravaganza I lost all my stuff in a fire in 2002 before I had a computer. I understand it may have been published in a historical society publication maybe Ray county. Never saw it and never heard of that again. The primary sources were filled with stories of the civilians in the burn district and their stories. Something I will never forget is how the feds burned everything and the Jayhawkers coming thru stealing what wasn't destroyed including Bibles in the churches. Gotta say I hate Kansas and will for the rest of my life. I know it's irrational but... I got an A on that paper in American History 101 and Mrs Anderson who was my English 101 gave me a B and wanted to give me an A but couldn't because of the punctuation errors. Funny what I remember.
