Abstract:

Bushwhackers, such as Bill Kirk's Raiders, spread a reign of terror through western North Carolina during the American Civil War. Ruthless and lawless bands would plunder, burn, and murder at random over the unprotected mountains. They became such a menace and serious threat to Confederate troops that detachments were sent to deal with the situation finally forcing them to yield to law and order.
