Nowhere was the Civil War as savage as it was in Missouri--and nowhere did it produce a killer more savage than William Anderson. For a brief but dramatic period, "Bloody Bill" played the leading role in the most violent arena of the entire war--and did so with a vicious abandon that spread fear throughout the land.

A name associated with William Quantrill and Jesse James, Bloody Bill Anderson was known for never taking prisoners. A former horse thief turned bushwhacker, he became the scourge of Kansas and Missouri with a reputation for unspeakable atrocities. Sometimes he left the bodies of dead Federal soldiers scalped, skinned, and castrated. Sometimes he decapitated them and rearranged their heads. Wherever Bloody Bill rode, the Grim Reaper rode alongside.

In telling this story of bitter bloodshed, historians Castel and Goodrich track Bloody Bill's reign of terror over increasingly violent raids. He rode with Quantrill in the infamous sack of Lawrence and killed more victims than any other raider. Then he led the brutal Centralia Massacre, a blood-soaked nightmare recounted here hour-by-hour from firsthand accounts.

More than compiling a chronicle of horrors, Castel and Goodrich have produced the first full-fledged account of Anderson's career. They examine his prewar life, explain how he became a guerrilla, then describe the war that he and his men waged against Union soldiers and defenseless civilians alike. The authors' disagreements on many aspects of Anderson's gruesome career add a fascinating dimension to the book.

Only 26 when he was killed charging an ambush, Bloody Bill Anderson had already become a legend. This book takes readers behind the legend and provides a closer look at the man--and at the face of terror.

Strong, Spacious, and Perfect for Every Meal
Style: 34 Ounces, Size: 34 Count
I’ve been using the Dixie Ultra Extra Large Paper Bowls for a while now, and they really stand out. With a 34 oz capacity, these bowls are big enough to hold hearty meals like soups, stews, and even large salads without worrying about spills. They’re perfect for heavy meals or when you just want a generous portion. What I appreciate most is that they’re compostable, which makes me feel better about using disposable products without harming the environment. Plus, they’re microwave safe, so reheating leftovers is super easy and convenient. The bowls are sturdy and don’t get soggy or flimsy, even with hot or liquid foods, which is a huge plus. Whether you’re having a casual lunch, a family gathering, or need something reliable for everyday use, these bowls deliver both quality and convenience. They handle big meals with ease and clean-up is a breeze. Definitely a smart choice for anyone who wants disposable bowls that actually hold up!

Great for dry skin
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I use this lotion to help with my dry skin and it is the only one that really helps. I live that it doesn't smell funky. it's lightweight on my skin and not too thick . it is strong enough to relieve my skin and gives my skin a nice glow . With 3 in the package it provides quality in quantity at a good price. The bottles come wrapped tight so there wasn't any leakage in the bottles. The bottles are big enough to provide enough to last

Quality. Price
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I have bought this lotion alot I the past. But this is the best price I have got. It is the main reason for my purchase other than I liked the lotion. If you have never tried this lotion then dont hesitate, its pretty good stuff. I recently I have became more conscious of the ingrediants on lotions so I switched. But I wouldn't hesitate to use this. Save some money and time and buy it here if you are already a regular user. And if you looking to try it out I wouldn't hesitate unless you are ingrediants conscious. It definitely moisturizes the skin untill your next shower. Feels good. Not greasy. Apply for any sort of dry skin. And it smells good if that's one of your requirements.
