It is time to take a new look at the most feared guerrilla chieftain in Missouri during the Civil War, Captain William T. "Bloody Bill" Anderson. He compiled a record of winning one victory after another that shocked Union authorities from Missouri to Washington, D.C. Anderson was finally stopped on October 27, 1864. While leading a wild charge against Union troops who had created a clever ambush, Anderson was shot off his horse with two bullets in the head to end the life of the most feared guerrilla chieftain not only in Missouri but also in the Trans-Mississippi Theater.
