Rebel Guerrillas

From the hills and valleys of the eastern Confederate states to the sun-drenched plains of Missouri and "e;Bleeding Kansas,"e; a vicious, clandestine war was fought behind the big-battle clashes of the American Civil War. In the east, John Singleton Mosby became renowned for the daring hit-and-run tactics of his rebel horsemen. Here a relatively civilized war was fought; women and children usually left with a roof over their heads. But along the Kansas-Missouri border it was a far more brutal clash; no quarter given. William Clarke Quantrill and William "e;Bloody Bill"e; Anderson became notorious for their savagery.
