Always nice to see the place where our boy are laid to rest is so well cared for. Brave young men every one.

I absolutely love your videos man. You’re so thorough and educated on the subject matter. You tell it so well. Admire your research skills. I really enjoyed the story about these bushwhackers. Lol Especially the story about the bones. Igreat video man

Confederate Solders, Heroes All RIP Rebel Brothers Thank You for making & posting this video on Quantrill and his graves. Very informative for those of us interested and intrigued by all aspects of The War For Southern Independence.

Interesting videos you post mister, thanks. Enjoying the slower pace of them in this adhd world.

I love American history, very interesting video, and hi from the UK.

Being from the south,this was very interesting.You told it very well.Great video.

Hello Retty' That was great! Ive heard many stories about him and what was said he had done in the war but I never knew about the graves and all you talked abou. Ive been educated today! Thanks and great job...I love these kinds of stories!!!

Fascinating about his different burial sites.

Great video. Being a history buff and missourian. You done justice to story and history of the people buried there.

You really know your history! My dad, who was a WW2 vet (survived Battle of the Bulge) was a history buff. I learned so much from him, and also love history. I wonder how many people today are even aware of the story of Quantrill’s Raiders & the Missouri Bushwackers? It’s such a shame that schools today only tend to offer history and civics as electives. I, myself, took every history & civics class offered , but I graduated in 1984. I hope you keep on making your videos- my dad would have loved them, and I truly do as well. Good luck! Regards from Arkansas.

Now I want to go there..Thank you..really love when you add the historic photos..

Just Love these, Thank you for posting..

Thank you for the video and hard work you put into it. You are a wonderful person.

Wow! What a interesting story! I enjoy this type of obscure history... another A Plus video Rhetty!!

Weird, but so interesting! Another person I've never heard of but enjoyed learning about. Thanks!

Thank you for all the history you bring to us!

Another great video. I've heard parts of this story before but never knew all of it. Thanks for showing and telling a bit of history.👍👍

The winners always get to write the history the way they want.

Thanks for all your hard work ! Very interesting content.

Thanks for posting!

Close to home for me, though I've never visited there. Thanks so much for this wonderful tour.

Thank you so much. I really enjoy your videos.

If you ever decided to make a trip to Dover Ohio to see the Quantrills, look up Son of Confederate veterans camp 2087 Quantrills Raiders. Thats my camp im part of. We'd love to give you a tour of Quantrills home town.

Thanks for all your hard work. Love your videos.

Love these videos!

Very interesting and very strange. Another great piece of history Rhetty, thanks 😊

that was an awesome movie young man. Thank you

I've been to that cemetery and walked around the beautiful grounds. Very interesting story about William. He did things that even General Robert E Lee did not approve. The Quantrail guerillas. Kansas hated them. I really enjoy these kind of stories and videos. Thank you, sir.

Paul Peterson has Great Accurate info about W.C. Quantrill Books ,ect. He wasn't a bad Man,just fighting against a Tyrannical Gov. just like U.S. and Revaluationary War.It was Second War of Independence.

You should do one about Joseph O. Shelby,The leader of the Iron Brigade. They fought against two union armies at the battle of Westport then marched all the way to Mexico and never surrendered to the union.

Thank you for that video my Great Great Grandfather Robert Newton Scott Co. K Hunter's Reg. is buried in that cemetery.

You didn't mention it , but Col Duval is also a Knights Templar, that is what that last cross is across the top, love your videos! Cool that you seem interested in a lot of the historical people that I like. This last May 2019, I found the graves of Both Hatfield, and Randall McCoy, my grandpas father married Cynthia or Cyntha Hatfield,

Thanks for this. I'm a Northerner born and bred, but am totally against tearing down the monuments. History happened, we can learn from it. Also, after the War, all Confederate soldiers were absolved of any treason, the country needed to heal and include *all* citizens. When Northerners say the South should just get over it, they have no idea of what the South went through...it wasn't the North that was invaded and burned. Would love to know what fraternity had his skull.

This was the first video I saw and then I got hooked to your channel. Have a good day, Rhetty!

Another really interesting video! I understood that what started Quantrill on a tear was when his sister was killed accidently in Kansas as she was being held to help lure him and his riders into a trap. That is what I hear got him in a murderous rage, Those were very tough times, indeed!

The 27-year old hero of the Confederacy was buried without fanfare in an unmarked grave, in what later became known as St. John's Cemetery, Louisville. In 1887, a newspaperman and Quantrill's boyhood friend, William W. Scott, dug up the grave at the prompting of Quantrill's mother, a Dover school teacher.

Very interesting video. Thanks for the facts

They didn't teach me everything I'd like to know,thanks great video!

My great great grandfather was a confederate. NC 4th Infantry. Caswell Jones. His brother died in the battle of Cold Harbor. My grandmother used to tell me stories about him. My grandmother's father died in 1921 influenza and her grandfather moved in and helped support the family with his veterans pension that Benjamin Harrison got for all veterans...Union and Confederate

This is a good one grade history. Quantrill was quite the remarkable guy. (from a fellow content producer).

another great program !

I was able to visit and document his grave in Dover, Ohio. Nice to see one of his other graves! Thanks for the video and info!

I've watched several of your videos, and I have to say I'm impressed. You stick to the subject, no wandering around off track, and you seem to know what your talking about. I dislike those who say I don't know, look it up if you want. You actually know what you're taking about! And stick to the subject! Subscribing.

Hi i love all history and anything about the civil war. You are so interesting.I will look forward to your videos.greeting from Africa

I got up to the cemetery today. It is a beautiful place ti visit in Higginsville MO.

Thank you for your post Joanne NZ

“A little bit controversial”, this man has mastered understatement.

ThAnkyou that was very interesting 😊

Great video and awesome content.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for mentioning your visit to the Confederate Veterans Home cemetery at Higginsville. I looked it up --- and enjoyed it. My favorite at the site when I've visited, I think, is the Daughters' monumental adaptation of Bertel Thorvaldsen’s 1820 Lion of Lucerne (Switzerland), sculpted to commemorate Swiss Guards massacred during the French Revolution. Here, the dying lion’s head is resting on the Great Seal of the Confederacy rather than on broken symbols of the French monarchy, as in the original. Similar adaptations are found elsewhere, including Atlanta. My Union ancestors were out there fighting those Missouri bushwhackers --- but Iowans have learned to get along fairly well with Missourians by now.

Great video! Quantrill was a leader for all the southern people (that wanted some get back) that had been devastated by the northern adversaries. Do one on Bloody Bill or if you have let me know. I appreciate all the bits of great information that you include in your videos. You always say something that I don't know. If you have any good books on this subject or the James Younger gang let me know. As always my respect to you n yours!

Your videos are so thorough and interesting. Had no idea Quantrill was captured in Louisville, K. (my hometown). Wondering if his grave is still unmarked. Keep up the good work! Very interesting site!

I believe the house that Quantrill was born in is still standing. During the 1950's the house was moved from it's original location on Tuscarawas ave. to make room for an addition to St. Josephs high school here in Dover. The reason I know this is my father worked with his uncle in helping to move the house. Years later when I was in high school I had a teacher that told me a similar story as well.

Long time ago it was unheard of to have a pad lock on churches

Wish the south would have had 100 more like him!!!

The unmarked grave of Jake Blough is buried in the Evergreen Cemetary in my home town of Leadville, Colorado. The grave location is documented but not marked. Jake was a member of the James (& Younger) gang that came out of Contraill's Raiders. Jakes father was murdered by Jesse James and their is a question of Jakes true loyality to the gang because of that fact. Jesse James best friend from the Raiders was the Sheriff of Salida, Colorado at that time. The James Gang actually staked out a mining claim and worked it on Carbonate Hill just South of Leadville. That information is documented in an old Leadville newspaper article that tells about a conflict there when the gang displayed a Confederate flag. Leadville was neutral during the Civil War. The population was mostly southerners in what became, through politics, a Union State. Both Union and Confederate people coexisted pretty peacefully (taking into account that it was the real Wild West) in the Colorado Territory to seek and mine Gold and not to fight a war.

Thanks. I enjoyed. Dover is close by.

Wow this is realy interesting i never heard of anyone haveing 3 graves i realy loved this

Another fascinating history, I loved every minute of it! Three graves, now that's something. I read once that composer Frédéric Chopin's body is buried in Paris, but his heart is contained in a jar of cognac located in Warsaw. Thanks once again for sharing another great adventure :)

Would love to take a road trip to see this

Besides I no u are trying to help me I love listen to u your history it's great the things I'm learning god bless 💦

I often think about wether the Missouri-Kansas War of the 1850's isn't a precursor to what is going on today. Simmering tensions and outbreaks of violence that suggests something inevitable needs to be decided.

Oh my God what a Story,,,, wow, !

I think Gen. "Mad" Anthony Wayne, had a similarly story about his bones. After Wayne's died he was burried. Then a few years later Wayne's son went to retrieve his father's body. When he got there he realised that his cart wasn't long enough to haul the coffin back home in. So he cut his father's body up and boiled the flesh off the bones. The son reburried the boiled matter into the original grave. He then placed the bones in a box and started home. On the son drove the wagon over the rough road that lead home, not realizing that he lost a few bones with every bump. By the time we got home there was little left of the General to burry. Fearing to tell his widowed mother what had happened, the son qickly placed the remaining bones of Anthony Wayne into a new coffin and had it burried. So like the Captain, his bones are here, there and every where.

Our family farm is in Chilhoe Missouri and Quantrill Radiers came through and killed my great grandfathers indentured workers and burned a lot of farms in the area I learned of this from my grandmother (1871-1971) This massacre is still remembered today.

General Lee, had a very low opinion of Quantrill and today yes he would be a war criminal.great vids.

Rhetty, I think Daniel and his wife Rebbeca Boone, were moved to Kentucky from Missouri, but that may make a good video, sure would like to know a bit about that....thanks and we enjoy the videos!

I want to visit there one day, I just visited his grave in Dover, Ohio and saw the model of his head made from his skull.

It’s sometimes said that those who don’t know their past are doomed to repeat it, but I say those who dwell on the past and glorify the past are doomed to never leave it.

Worth mentioning, and lost to history revisionists, is the fact citizens in Lawrence were required to submit their guns for lockup at the local Sheriff's office before the Lawrence Quantrill raid. 150 men and boys lost their lives while the whole town was wide open, and defenseless. Quantrill's raiders escaped without a scratch. A lesson that needs to be shared widely in these times of upheaval.

My 4/5 great grandfather was hung from a tree In front of his family by mauraders in VA. Thus to my family turning Union and leaving VA to come to MN. Still finding more info

A strange story behind that mans grave, but interesting!

My great great grandfather has 2 different headstones in 2 different states. Do you know why they did that in the older days? Kansas and I can't remember where else.

Quantrill died in my home town Spencer County KY. He also burned down our original court house.

Just grazing on KZfaq. I had relatives fight on both sides. Surprised that this video is still up. Byzantine culture has gripped this country. I'm a disabled Republic of Vietnam combat veteran, '68. The time will come that our veteran cemeteries are bulldozed over. Some Youngers' changed their names to Young. Eaglegards ya saps...

That chapel is so pretty

You missed showing the grave of John t. Graves (1842-1950), "The last of Shelby's men." He was discharged in 1863 for reasons of "poor health." He was the last veteran to reside at the Confederate Home. At least two of Quantrill's men, James Cummins (believed by many historians to also been a member of Jesse James' gang) and David Edwards are also buried there. For what it's worth, I attended Quantrill's funeral & burial there.

Cool

Have been there it is pretty cool

Very cool place 👍

Frankly silvers husband in North Carolina is buried in three or four graves his wife was the first woman hanged in Morgantown N C it is a very interesting book añd a true historical fact

The war was bitter out west - young men became violent and bloody - on both sides

The Confederate government granted Quantrill a field commission under the Partisan Ranger Act, which means he was a legitimate combatant and therefore, so was anyone under his command. So they were All veterans.🙄

Very interesting. Thank you for your research. Glad I’m not a person of note. My remains wont be worthy of coveting I enjoy cemetery explorations. The history is facinating

Did you see the flat marker of John T. Graves Last of Shelby's men 1842-1950 I find this fascinating as some of us know someone that was alive in the 50's. Its difficult to comprehend a civil war veteran was alive 70 yrs ago.

Being from Kentucky I was always told he was from Kentucky and bloody Bill Anderson was from Shelbyville near by and they met up in the war. True or not I have no idea

Wars a hell of a thing, ya do things you think are right for all the right reasons only to curse yourself later...

He has four graves. His name was Charles P. Hart. He was a graduate of a Kentucky military academy. He was teaching school when the war broke out. He tried to remain neutral because his brother joined the south. Union militia beat him nearly to death, so he changed his name and took out his revenge. He had taught school in Lawrence Kansas and he was treated badly there because of his politics. He spent the rest of his life after the war in Osceola Texas teaching school. He is buried in that area.

Amen Frank stall and don't get me started on it was about slavery

Wow I don’t see how he’s rip at all being spread around

Three Graves that just goes to show you you can't keep a good man down

Some local historian should use GPS and record names on Graves before they are lost!!!

Interesting

A back note about the Lawrence Raid, Quantico Raiders only lost 1 man, his name was Larkin Skaggs, he was a drunken preacher, his body was mutilated and thrown in a ditch, dogs supposedly ate the body, supposedly he is a Cousin of mine, thats why we know of him!!!

I believe that he was a hero and that he protected Southern Missouri land from the Yankees

You'll find this paper on the same subject, from the AGS' 2001 annual journal "Markers XVIII", of interest, too. Reburial photos, etc. included. credo.library.umass.edu/view/pageturn/murb004-01-i018/#page/8/mode/1up

So, what did the sign by the church say?

Well, that's Bill all over!! RIP Cap'n

In the pic u see the 2 free mason tie 2 this war.
