Bald Knobbers: Vigilantes on the Ozarks Fronier.
This is a comprehensive account of the activities of this vigilante group in the 1880’s in Taney County, Missouri. The roots of its origins began with struggles along the region’s border during the Civil War. Theirs was a violent campaign for law and order, and is a fascinating story--neighbors against neighbors.
