OverviewA vivid impression of a boastfully murderous mentality unique in Civil War historiography. This auto-biography, as a record of bloody deeds, dare-devil exploits and thrilling adventures, will have no rival in the catalogue of wonders. It unfolds, with minute accuracy, the exploits of Samuel S. Hildebrand, a member of the Irregular military forces in the Civil War era. The guerrilla-actions initiated by these so-called 'Bushwhackers' often escalated into a succession of atrocities committed by both sides, and many were the occasions where suspects from the other side were executed or tortured without trial. Mr. Hildebrand from Missouri was not a nice guy. He describes raids and executions his band of men carried out. This self-serving but fascinating account is a valuable addition to the canon of Civil War literature.
