Jay,
I can clearly see that it useless to continue this dialog as you evidently can't come up with a clear answer to the questions that I asked. I know it must be hard to accept the fact that the man that you evidently have invested many long hours in researching, is not Bloody Bill. It is apparent that he was an old man, seeking attention with such wild claims. Give it up & continue to discuss on this forum, the real history that ravaged Missouri & the men who fought for their survival.
