Larry Wood presents "Bushwhacker Belles"What do you think your reaction would be if your sister, girlfriend, mother or wife were thrown in jail, guilty or not? This is what men had to deal with during the Civil War. Many women throughout Missouri were incarcerated. Some were guilty, others not. This was the theme and message of Larry Wood’s presentation at the August meeting of the Civil War Round Table of Western Missouri. Titled “Bushwhacker Belles”, Larry’s talk provided insight into how women were treated and their exploits that caused this treatment. Our members that attended enjoyed themselves listening to Larry’s many tales of daring. Wish you could have been there. Next month don’t miss the opportunity to hear John Moloski present a program on General Joseph Shelby.
