I have read quite a bit about the COIN war in Mo.Guerrillas are not soldiers . They violated the Leiber Code by not fighting in uniform. The State of Mo did not grant former guerrillas pensions. I never said Knight was enlisted in the Union Army. I did argue that he should of still received a pension for his good works.Most former Missouri guerrillas WERE former confederates I assumed you knew that, or perhaps you need to actually read about the subject, I wasn't referring to non Missouri ones like Knight who weren't recognized by either side. You'll notice ones who are refered to by ranks such as Col. Capt, Lt is because they are actually in service of regular army, even if detached in a irregular role
And would have assumed you were aware former Missouri regular confederates were mistreated and disenfranchised by the Drake constitution also, once again something most books on James/Youngers recognize contributing to their popularity...….
