Re: Fayette Fight/Bloody Bill's motivation

thats funny.. my father had that attitude until the day he died lol.. i had just read somewhere (will have to look it up) that the fayette fight was in response to 5 men anderson lost days earlier.. one "capt" bissett was one that really got to anderson.. hamp watts who wrote "babe of the company" was one of anderson's men.. he stated that the loss of these 5 particular men sent anderson into a rage and he "wept copious tears".. this led to the ill fated fayette fight..
