He claimed he got a colonelcy in Richmond but no one else knew about it. ------------------------- Quantrill and Anderson most certainly did have commissions. The issue of Quantrill's colonel's commission is gone into in great detail in a book called 'the Devil Knows How to Ride' and the conclusion seems to be that: 1. He was certainly commissioned, he is noted in several letters by men who had no reason to admire him as having used it to avoid 'conventional' military service for his men. 2. He led a group of regimental size with a number of officers under him. The title 'colonel' was probably as valid as any other officer of that rank who commanded a 'locally raised unit'. It is interesting to note that Anderson, another 'Missouri guerrilla' who certainly had a valid commission, this one from Sterling Price, is referred to as 'Major Anderson' in his orders, also from Sterling Price... -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

That's because they are winning games, I was there when a 15-13 win over KU was the equivalent of a Orange Bowl win. |

If you can get a copy of Inside War: The Guerrilla Conflict in Missouri During the American Civil War by Michael Fellman it describes some of the things that passed for war then and there. There is a rumor/belief that Missouri determined the South not to fight on in guerilla after Appomattox. |

Seem to me that to large chunk of American population, being dumb, aka "optimistic", is all it needs to be a president. No wonder we have 4 presidential terms marked by dimwitted chief executive and massive corruption and fraud in the administration. |
