Friday, June 24, 2011 (read more on the link)
Perhaps the most famous Confederate guerrilla or partisan ranger west of the Mississippi River was William Clark Quantrill. However, there were many local and regional guerrillas/bushwhackers in western Missouri such as Henry Taylor, William Marchbanks, Thomas Livingston, Pony Hill, Brice Mayfield and Capt. Fay Price, just to name a few.
This column is about the death of Fay Price and his final resting place. Fay Price was captured by soldiers of the 3rd Wisconsin Cavalry Regiment in McDonald County, Mo., in the winter of 1862 -- 1863 and was incarcerated in the "Union" military prison in Fort Scott.
The following account of Price's attempted escape and death was described by wagon boss R.M. Peck in his column that was published in the Aug. 4, 1904, edition of the National Tribune Newspaper in Washington, D. C.
