Thanks Don for your speedy replies. Both Brownlee and Stiles more so Stiles portray Western Mo has being somewhat akin to Bosnia durning the 1990's war with Serbia in terms of ethnic cleansing. I didn't know German ethnics fought with the Bushwackers. I am amazed that any Afro-Americans fought with Quantrill but there it is. Based on what I could find out on the internet approx 4k Germans fought with the CSA vs over 100k with the Union.

A Lizzie Gregg who accompnied Andersons band to Sherman , Texas during the winter of 1864 rembered "Black" militia attacking them in what now would be known has Oklahoma back then it was the Indian territories but they didn't seem to do much damage. I know this is not a hunting site. I belong to a Calif hunting forum owned by a Missorian but I don't know if I can mention the name on the site because of the no advertisment rule. I did find the serch engine but I couldn't find anything on the 2nd Colorado. I wish todays school children were taught abot Mo in the Civil War. It was a very complex war and not well taught these days. For Example it is not taught that the CSA forces were not all White but had Indian and even one or more Mexican -American unit including a Mexican American Col who served under Gen Bell Hood.

Thanks Again;
Leonard
