Quantrill's First Skirmish As a Guerrilla
Quantrill's First Skirmish as a Guerrilla When the Civil War started in April of 1861, Quantrill found himself escorting a wealthy Missouri farmer and his family to safety in Texas. Quickly heading north he readily enlisted as a private in the First Cherokee Mounted Regiment of Colonel Joel Bryan Mayes before transferring to Captain Stewart's Company B, in Colonel Jeremiah Vardeman Cockrell's Independent Home Guard of the 1st Brigade, 8th Division, Missouri State Guard, commanded by Brigadier Gen James Spencer Rains. He was soon promoted sergeant in Company I, of the Third Mo Cavalry. General Sterling Price finding himself unable to arm or supply his newly formed army ordered his mostly independent units to return to their home counties to wage partisan warfare. Winter was not far off, and Price realized that he would not be able to feed and supply his men in winter quarters. The situation was also affected by the short enlistment terms of most of Price’s soldiers. Many three-month enlistments had already expired. An alternative, which the general endorsed as a military necessity, was to establish groups of partisan rangers. Partisans protected their own land and provided for themselves. Organized independent ranger companies would keep Union forces in the state occupied and off balance. A fast, well-armed, mobile force existing off the land and supported by friends and family could do more damage to a Federal army of occupation than Price could by trying to maneuver a numerically superior adversary into set-piece battles. Price knew that his army required an intelligence network, and the guerrillas could set themselves up in every county and locale. -

Whitewashing Or Amnesia: a Study of the Construction
WHITEWASHING OR AMNESIA: A STUDY OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF RACE IN TWO MIDWESTERN COUNTIES A DISSERTATION IN Sociology and History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by DEBRA KAY TAYLOR M.A., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2005 B.L.A., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2000 Kansas City, Missouri 2019 © 2019 DEBRA KAY TAYLOR ALL RIGHTS RESERVE WHITEWASHING OR AMNESIA: A STUDY OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF RACE IN TWO MIDWESTERN COUNTIES Debra Kay Taylor, Candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2019 ABSTRACT This inter-disciplinary dissertation utilizes sociological and historical research methods for a critical comparative analysis of the material culture as reproduced through murals and monuments located in two counties in Missouri, Bates County and Cass County. Employing Critical Race Theory as the theoretical framework, each counties’ analysis results are examined. The concepts of race, systemic racism, White privilege and interest-convergence are used to assess both counties continuance of sustaining a racially imbalanced historical narrative. I posit that the construction of history of Bates County and Cass County continues to influence and reinforces systemic racism in the local narrative. Keywords: critical race theory, race, racism, social construction of reality, white privilege, normality, interest-convergence iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, have examined a dissertation titled, “Whitewashing or Amnesia: A Study of the Construction of Race in Two Midwestern Counties,” presented by Debra Kay Taylor, candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance. -
Bloody Bill”, “Little Archie” & All That
Quantrill, “Bloody Bill”, “Little Archie” & All That Visit Sites Where Bushwhackers Rode 3 the Old Trails During the Civil War. Begin at Fayette. The Battle of Fayette occurred on Sept. 24, 1864, when a large force of guerrillas led by Fayette to Kearney. “Bloody Bill” Anderson and George Todd assaulted a fortified Union garrison. A wayside marker with information on the battle and a map is adjacent to the Student and Community Center on the campus of Central Methodist University in Fayette. Three days after the Battle of Fayette, Anderson’s men halted a train at Centralia (east of the Old Trails Region in Boone County) and, executed the 24 unarmed Union soldiers aboard. Later that day, the guerrillas annihilated a unit of mounted Union infantry and left 116 dead on the field. Take Hwy 5 and then Hwy 40 south from Fayette to Boonville. On Oct. 11, 1864, Anderson, Todd and Quantrill met Gen. Sterling Price and his army of invasion at Boonville. Anderson had human scalps from the Centralia Massacre hanging on his belt, which Price made him remove. Continue south on Hwy 40 through Boonville to I-70 and go west. At Exit 62, get off at Emma. The day before joining Price at Boonville, bushwhackers led by George Todd attacked members of the German community here, known to be Union Quantrill, supporters. Older men and four teenagers took up arms to defend their families. Most were shot, skulls were crushed, and some were burned alive. A recently erected monument near Holy Cross Lutheran Church “Bloody Bill”, commemorates the event. -
Civil War in the Lone Star State
page 1 Dear Texas History Lover, Texas has a special place in history and in the minds of people throughout the world. It has a mystique that no other state and few foreign countries have ever equaled. Texas also has the distinction of being the only state in America that was an independent country for almost 10 years, free and separate, recognized as a sovereign gov- ernment by the United States, France and England. The pride and confidence of Texans started in those years, and the “Lone Star” emblem, a symbol of those feelings, was developed through the adventures and sacrifices of those that came before us. The Handbook of Texas Online is a digital project of the Texas State Historical Association. The online handbook offers a full-text searchable version of the complete text of the original two printed volumes (1952), the six-volume printed set (1996), and approximately 400 articles not included in the print editions due to space limitations. The Handbook of Texas Online officially launched on February 15, 1999, and currently includes nearly 27,000 en- tries that are free and accessible to everyone. The development of an encyclopedia, whether digital or print, is an inherently collaborative process. The Texas State Historical Association is deeply grateful to the contributors, Handbook of Texas Online staff, and Digital Projects staff whose dedication led to the launch of the Handbook of Civil War Texas in April 2011. As the sesquicentennial of the war draws to a close, the Texas State Historical Association is offering a special e- book to highlight the role of Texans in the Union and Confederate war efforts. -

The Ghosts of Guerrilla Memory: How Civil War Bushwhackers Became Gunslingers in the American West. University of Georgia Press, $29.95 ISBN 9780820350028 Heroes from Another Land: Confederate Guerrillas and the making of the Wild West Few events in American history generate as much popular interest and stir up as many conflicting memories as the Civil War and the Wild West. Both produced battles, heroes, villains, victims, drama, and controversy that left lasting imprints on American culture. Dominant narratives abound in both. Civil War accounts center on the famous leaders and battles in Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia and foster collective memories anchored on the Lost Cause, emancipation, and the restoration of the Union. In the West, the inexorable march of civilization—punctuated by tales of railroads, cattle, miners, bison, Indians, outlaws, gamblers, and lawmen—ushers in end of the frontier as a dynamic catalyst for the development of American values. In The Ghosts of Guerrilla Memory, Matthew C. Hulbert skillfully uses memoirs, contemporary histories, Hollywood movies, and numerous primary sources to take some of the key figures from one of the unruly fringes of the Civil War—the ugly partisan bloodletting in Missouri and Kansas—and link their collective memories to the legendary outlaw myths of the Wild West. -
Bushwhacker Jayhawker Script FINAL
Shared Stories of the Civil War Reader’s Theater Project Guerilla Warfare Bushwhackers and Jayhawkers The Border War and Civil War on the Kansas-Missouri border provided a stage for a war of words and a war of violence. As settlers from Missouri and New England came to the Kansas Territory, emotions ran high and tensions escalated as both factions fought to ensure Kansas entered the Union with a constitution favoring their cause. By 1856, violence had erupted along the Kansas-Missouri border and continued to rage through the Civil War years of 1861 through 1865. As both sides engaged in a physical fight, two new terms emerged to define – and to demonize – the guerilla warriors: “bushwhacker” and “jayhawker.” Please Note: Regional historians have reviewed the source materials used, the script, and the list of citations for accuracy. Guerilla Warfare Bushwhackers and Jayhawkers is part of the Shared Stories of the Civil War Reader’s Theater project, a partnership between the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area and the Kansas Humanities Council. FFNHA is a partnership of 41 counties in eastern Kansas and western Missouri dedicated to connecting the stories of settlement, the Border War and the Enduring Struggle for Freedom in this area. KHC is a non-profit organization promoting understanding of the history and ideas that shape our lives and strengthen our sense of community.

FLUKER August 2015 Copyright Amy L. Fluker 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This project argues that Missouri’s singular position as a border state not only between the North and South, but also between the East and West shaped the state’s Civil War experience as well as its memory of the conflict. During the Civil War, Missouri was a slaveholding border state on the western frontier and home to a diverse and divided population. Neither wholly Union nor Confederate, Missouri’s Civil War was bitterly divisive. In its aftermath, Missourians struggled to come to terms with what it had been about.
