Description

Bushwacker and Confederate Guerilla Sam Hildebrand 1865 Grand Jury Indictment. One page, 8" x 11.75", autograph document, St. Francois County, Missouri, November 1865, with the usual endorsements on the verso, with small splits in the fold creases, else very good.

Sam Hildebrand was a notorious Confederate guerilla during the Civil War who carried on his ruthless assaults long after the war ended. This indictment alleges that Hildebrand and an accomplice called William Pig assaulted a St. Francois County man and caused "bodily fear and damage of his person and...feloniously took a horse from his possession and free will". The document is bright but the cursive handwriting of the period makes the document somewhat difficult to read. Still, a rare document concerning this audacious bushwacker.
