Anderson Family 1860 001.jpg (92.47 kB, 700x549 - viewed 297 times.)

This is another UNIQUE find and the only one extant. It is the entire family unit of William "Bloody Bill" Anderson in Kansas. This photo was taken circa 1859 prior to Bill leaving Kansas and going to Missouri. Top row on the left is JIM ANDERSON and top row far right in corner is BILL ANDERSON holding his young brother Charles (who died soon after). Middle row is the three Anderson girls (sisters to Jim and Bill) who were killed and crippled in the collapse of the Union jail house where they had been kidnapped and held illegally by Union soldiers in an attempt to find Bill. That led to Bill Anderson's continued killing of every Yankee he found without quarter. On the front row are Mr. and Mrs Anderson (the father was shot to death in Kansas and the mother soon died of being struct by lightening). The young boy on the left front is TOM ANDERSON. He was the other Anderson sibling's first cousin, son of their Kansas Uncle. Tom went with Bill, Jim, and the girls to Missouri circa 1860 prior to Bill and Jim joining Quantrill's guerrillas there. It was TOM who, seeing the three girls kidnapped by the Yankee soldiers, rode to alert Bill and others that they had been taken. This is another one of my favorite photograph finds in my collection.
