  Speaker 1: Chapter forty eight Hunting Clues. Marshall Liggott his efforts to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: hunt down the robbers Jesse James once more to the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: front after the affair at Glendale. The Marshal of Kansas City,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Major James Liggott, a cool tempered, clear headed man, took
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: charge of the case and directed all movements intended to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: result in the discovery of the robbers. It was soon
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: ascertained beyond a doubt that Jesse James had been in
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Kansas City only a few days before the robbery. Then
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the inquiry proceeded as to who else had probably been participants.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: It came to the knowledge of the Marshal that Jim Cummings,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Ed Miller, and a hard character named Blackamore had been
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: moving about the country in a suspicious way. Little by little,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: fragmentary scraps of information were secured, and a generalization of
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: all the facts led to the general conclusion that the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: train robbery at Glendale had been effected under the direction
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of the James Boys, that certainly Jesse and probably Frank
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: had participated in it, and that Jim Cummings, Ed Miller,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and Blackamore were probable accomplices. The next important point to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: gain was information concerning the route traveled by the bandits
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: in their retreat from the scene of their lawless depredation.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: This was not so easy a task, as the uninitiated
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: might conclude the character of much of the country in
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: western Missouri with the thorough knowledge of the region possessed
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: by the principles in the outrage for Bad and easy
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: discovery of the route which they had taken. But the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Marshal had called about him men as well acquainted with
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the country as any of Quantrelle's old raiders could be,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and the little information gathered by each one finally brought together,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: led to the inference that they had gone in a
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: southerly direction toward the Indian territory. The inference, afterward became
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a certainty. Their trail was discovered, men were at once
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: placed at various points on their probable line of retreat.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Men were dispatched on their trail to hunt them to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: their places of concealment. There were men in western Missouri
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: who had ridden with the old Gorilla band, bold daring
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: men who laid aside the weapons of destruction when the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: war closed, Men who had never learned the meaning of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the word fear, who yet became weary of turmoil and strife,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and settled down in life as quiet citizens, who long
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: ago ceased to sympathize with their old comrades in their
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: acts of outlawry, and who, notwithstanding their peaceable demeanor, were
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: subjected to annoying suspicions at every recurrence of the visitations
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of their former associates, who felt, when the train was
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: robbed at Glendale, that it was time to take a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: positive stand on the side of the law, and to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: co operate with the officers in every endeavor to put
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: an end to such depredations for all time by capturing
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the depredators. These persons became active allies of Marshal Liggett
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in his efforts against the bandits, and materially contributed to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the discovery of the robbers and the line which they
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: had chosen on their retreat, so the active campaign began.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: There is reason to believe that after the robbery was consummated.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: At least a part of the band went into Clay
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: County and remained in seclusion there for some days. Then
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they started south. It was pending these events that Marshall
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Liggett made an arrangement with George W. Shepperd, formerly a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Gorilla captain under whom Jesse James served near the close
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of the war, to take part in the campaign then
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: about to be prosecuted against the bandits. As subsequent events
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: have brought Sheppard prominently before the public, and the mystery
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: which attaches to some of the proceedings will continue to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: excite the interest of the public until it is cleared up,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it is deemed best to present a brief history of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the career of George W. Shepherd in this connection, Chapter
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: forty nine. George W. Shepherd, the childhood and youth of Shepard,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: his adventures in Utah, enters the Confederate Service, joins Quantrell's band,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: gets into trouble with the gang at the time of Russellville,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: becomes inimical to the Jameses, engages with Marshall Liggett, joins
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the band the Short Creek Fight the name of George W. Shepherd,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: which attained prominence during the old guerrilla times, when he
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: was one of Quantrell's most trusted lieutenants, had passed out
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of the public mind in a measure until the events
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: following the Glendale train robbery once more brought it prominently
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: before the country. At the time of the affair at Glendale,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Shepard was following a peaceful avocation in Kansas City. It
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: was known to the Marshal of that place and other
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: officers of the law that the relations subsisting between the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: James Boys and Shepherd had been rather unfriendly for several years,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and overtures were made looking to his engaging in the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: pursuit of the outlaws. Shepherd's reputation for desperate courage was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: not inferior to that of any other man in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: days when he led a band of Quantrelle's men, and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: when Marshal Leggot of Kansas City had obtained his consent
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to engage in the desperate undertaking, everyone expected some sensational
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: de nouement. A history of the Jameses after the events
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: which occurred since Glendale would be incomplete without some notice
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of George W. Shepherd, the man who is credited with
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: engaging in a terrible conflict with Jesse W. James and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: his followers near Joplin, Missouri, resulting in the alleged death
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: of the outlaw and in Shepherd's receiving a severe wound
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: in the left leg. George W. Shephard is a son
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of the late James Shephard, a respectable farmer of Jackson County, Missouri.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: He was born near Independence January seventeenth, eighteen forty two,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: on a farm now belonging to the Staten Heirs. There
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: were two brothers older than George, namely John and James M.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: And one brother, his junior, whose name was William J. M.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Shepard is now a respectable farmer in Jackson County. During
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: his boyhood, George resided with his parents on the farm,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and when of sufficient age, he attended the neighborhood school
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: for a few months every summer and winter until he
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: was able to read, write, and cipher. As he expressed it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: In early youth, he manifested an adventurous and somewhat wayward disposition.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: In eighteen fifty seven, he left home and proceeded to Utah,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: where he joined the army at that time operating against
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the Mormons under the command of General Albert Sidney Johnston.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: The Shepherd family, which originally came from Virginia, were a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: race of pioneers, and the disposition of the subject of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: this notice to seek exciting adventure on the border land
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of civilization was legitimately inherited. After a varied experience and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: absence of two years, George returned to Missouri in the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: autumn of eighteen fifty nine and resumed farming operations with
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: his brothers. He continued in this employment on a farm
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: about one mile and a half distant from independence until
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the commencement of warlike preparations in eighteen sixty one. Seized
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: by the prevailing military fever and his surroundings being all Southern,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: George W. Sheppard was among the first to cast his
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: lot with the Confederates Cruits. He enlisted in company a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Captain Duncan's of Rosser's Regiment. This command participated in the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Great battles fought at Wilson's Creek in p Ridge, and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: engaged in many other skirmishes in Missouri and Arkansas, in
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: all of which he took a part. When the Confederate Army,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: under the command of General Sterling Price, was ordered to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the east of the Mississippi. Young Shepherd returned to Jackson
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: County and soon afterward joined Quantrell's command of guerrillas. The
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: war record of Shepherd would fill a volume if written
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: out in full. For this we have not the space.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: We can only summarize the chief events in this part
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of his career. We first hear of George Sheppard in
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a desperate charge made by Quantrell's men on the garrison
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: at Independence in February eighteen sixty two. On that occasion,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: he and a comrade, William Gregg, swept down one of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the streets of Independence, causing the greatest consternation and inflicting
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: no little damage on the soldiers of Colonel Burris's command.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: From that day forward, Shepherd took rank among the most
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: daring of Quantrell's men. When Quantrell's small command of twenty
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: men was surrounded at night by a large Federal force
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: while asleep in the Tate House near Santa Fe, Jackson County, Missouri,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: in March eighteen sixty two, Shepherd was with the gorillas
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: there and was selected to guard one of the doors
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: of the house. The conflict which ensued was terrible. After
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: some minutes fighting and when the house had been fired.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: The federals desired a parley with a view of inducing
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the guerrillas to surrender. Shepherd commanded the men who defended
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the lower rooms of the house. He asked for twenty
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: minutes time. It could not be granted for ten minutes. No,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: for five minutes, then no. If the gorillas did not
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: yield within one minute, not a man of them should escape,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: was the ultimatum of the federal officer. Then Count sixty,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: exclaimed Shepard, and take the consequences. The fight was renewed.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: That house had become a pandemonium. In it were such
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: men as Coal Younger, Stephen Shores, John Jarrett, James Liddell,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Hoy Haller, and others. The federal commander permitted Major Tait
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and his family to leave the house. Then the fighting
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: was resumed, more fiercely than before. The building was on fire.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It was manifest that the guerrillas would be forced to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: evacuate their fortress. It was resolved to break through the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: federal line. Quantrelle led the desperate charge, followed by George Shepard,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Jarrett Younger, Toller, Little Hoy, and others. Seventeen men made
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the attempt and succeeded in making their escape. Three had
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: surrendered before the attempt was made. Once in the spring
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: of eighteen sixty two, George Shephard, Cole Younger, and Oliver
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Shephard were surrounded at the house of John Shepherd in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Jackson County. Their peril was imminent. The Federal force numbered
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: ten to their one. Cole Younger was about to lead
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: a desperate sortee when Martin Shepherd, Scott Little, and John
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Coger came up and attacked the Federals in the rear.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: The diversion enabled the Shepherds and Younger to escape from
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the house. Soon after the incident noted above, George Shepherd
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and Cole Younger were detailed to go into Jackson County
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: for the purpose of collecting ammunition. They had collected a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: large amount of the materials of war, which were most
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: needed in Quantrell's command. One day they went to find
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: a wagon to convey the ammunition to camp. They were
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: at a house behind which was an orchard, and this
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: had been sown in rye, which was now tall and luxuriant.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: While at this house, seventy five Federal troopers surrounded the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: place and demanded their surrender. They refused and made a
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: rush to the rye grown orchard ground where they had
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: hitched their horses. Beyond the orchard was a skirt of timber,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: now clothed in luxuriant green. They gained the orchard in safety,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: although followed by a storm of bullets mounting they made
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a dash for the forest, but they were not destined
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to reach it unscathed. Three buckshot had penetrated the body
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: of coal Younger, and George Shepard was hit hard and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: badly wounded. He, however, continued his flight until he reached
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a shelter where he could receive surgical attention. It was
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: about harvest time eighteen sixty two that Major Peabody undertook
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to capture Quantrelle's band by a vigorous movement with superior forces.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: The two joined issue at Sweringen's Place, a few miles
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: from Pleasant Hill, cass County. A series of desperate encounters followed.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: The guerrillas were forced to seek shelter in the woods.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: In the fights which ensued, George Shephard lost his horse.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: The guerrillas suffered fearfully both in the neighborhood of Sweringen's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Barn and later in a depression near Fred Farmer's house.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: A number of Quantrell's followers were seriously wounded. George Shepard
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: had great difficulty in escaping from this sanguinary engagement. He
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: was again wounded, though not severely. Colonel Upton Hayes, Colonel
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Gideon Thompson, and Colonel John T. Hughes co operating resolved
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: upon attacking Independence, then garrisoned by a Federal force of
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: about five hundred men under command of Colonel J. T. Buell,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: now of Saint Louis. The Confederate forces numbered about seven hundred.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Quantrell was requested to aid the enterprise and joined his
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: forces with the regular Confederate troops in an attack on Independence.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: George Sheppard was there and fought with desperate vaws. After
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the battle was over, when Quantrell was asked to name
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the men of his command who had most distinguished themselves
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: for daring courage, George Shephard was designated as one among
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: half a dozen others. In the early days of the
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: autumn of eighteen sixty two, George Todd, commanding about fifty men,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: prepared an ambuscade with rifle pits on the road leading
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: from Kansas City to Harrisonville. The place was admirably selected,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and the utmost caution and vigilance was observed in guarding it,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: but it came near being a slaughter pen for the gorillas.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: One evening he succeeded in destroying a wagon train and
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: scattering the escort which accompanied it, but some time afterward Gregg, Scott, Haller,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and Shepherd, with a number of followers, reoccupied the rifle pits.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: George Shepherd was sent out on the road toward Harrisonville,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: south of the ambuscade. It was perhaps past ten o'clock
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: at night. The rifle pits were still, and the droning
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: hum of insects was the only sound to break the silence.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Shephard was motionless at his post down the road. Suddenly
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: he was made conscious of the presence of an enemy
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: by a tall form which rose up at his right stirrup,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a form which had apparently come from the shadows around him,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: but it was no apparition conjured up by a disordered brain.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: The leveling of a gun barrel at his breast, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the sharp utterance of the single words surrender convinced George
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Shephard that the form was very real. A glance satisfied
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: him that crouching forms were all about him and all
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: were armed. He threw himself forward, shot the dismounted trooper
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: in the breast as he whirled his horse around, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: received a scattering volley as he dashed away to arouse
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: his comrades in the rifle pits. The Federal forces were
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: under command of Major Hubbard, a gallant officer of the
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: sixth Missouri Cavalry. He had received full information about Tod's
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: rifle pits, had dismounted his command, and but for Shepherd's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: extraordinary nerve and presence of mind, he would have made
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: a complete surprise of the Gorilla garrison. As it was
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: a terrible conflict ensued and a number of Federals were killed,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: and eight of the Gorillas were wounded, among them Shepherd,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: who received a slight flesh wound. In August eighteen sixty three,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Quantrelle began to rally around his standard all the small
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: detached bands in western Missouri for his expedition against Lawrence Kansas.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: At this time, Shephard was one of his confidential advisers
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in that grim Council of War, summoned by the Gorilla
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: chieftain to consider the feasibility of engaging in such an enterprise.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: George Sheppard sat among the stern, relentless warriors of the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Border when Fletcher Taylor returned from Lawrence, whither he had
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: gone to obtain information concerning the military situation there. He
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: made his report at Quantrell's headquarters to the assembled leaders.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: The chief spoke, quote, you have heard the report. Before
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: you decide, you should know it all. The march to
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Lawrence is a long one. In every little village there
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: are soldiers. We leave soldiers behind us. We march between
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: garrisons of soldiers. We attack a town guarded by soldiers,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: we must retreat through swarms of armed men. And when
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: we would rest after such an exhaustive march, we must
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: do so with soldiers all about us, and do the
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: best we can. Come. Speak out, somebody, what is it?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Shepard unquote thus appealed to the answer came deliberately and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: firmly from George Shepherd, quote, Lawrence, I know the place
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of old They make no difference there between negroes and
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: white people. It is a Boston colony, and it should
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: be cleared. And the others gave similar replies, and so
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the expedition, which was destined to be fraught with consequences,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: so baleful was resolved upon. George Shephard went with the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: rest of the command, and in the terrors and tragedies
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: of that dreadful day he had his share. The winter
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: of eighteen sixty three four Shepherd spent in Quantrell's camp
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: in the vicinity of Sherman, Texas, leading a comparatively inactive life.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: But the following summer he was engaged in innumerable skirmishes
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: at Pink Hill in Johnson County, at Pleasant Hill, at Keatsville,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: and many other places. The fighting was severe. Then came
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the mustering to aid general price. In that summer campaign,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the guerrillas took a conspicuous part. Toward the middle of September,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Bill Anderson was carrying destruction to many neighborhoods in North Missouri.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Todd and Anderson combined a force of a little more
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: than two hundred men. In this troop rode George Shepherd.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: He was present at Centralia. The particulars of that dreadful
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: day's work are given in another place in this volume,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and need not now be recited. It may be accepted
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: as a fact that George Shepherd performed his part in
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: that carnival of death. Price and Shelby were compelled to
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: retire from Missouri. In a desperate encounter with the Federal
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: advance in pursuit of the retiring Confederate army, Tod, who
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: was protecting the rear, was killed. George Shepherd succeeded him
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: in the command, and after lingering a while in Missouri,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: he led the remainder of the once formidable band of guerrillas,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: save about twenty men who went with Quantrelle into Kentucky
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: to Texas. The forces under Shepherd had fighting all the way.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: The Indians beset their pathway and struck at them viciously
• 19:58
