Photographer Bob Szabo was at it again August 11 and 12, at our "Bad Blood" shoot here in Missouri, but this time he captured portraits of our actors and actresses using the wet plate collodian process and enlisting the help of living history consultants Gregg Higgenbotham and Dave Bears, along with stylist Christina Clariday. For more Bob Szabo images from the "Bad Blood" shoot, see our blog above. For more Szabo, go to www.robertszabo.com

Medich's Battalion Drill was held at Fort Wayne Detroit, (An 1849 Star Fort on the Detorit River) on April 26-27th. To give the boys a chance to fell the fight from a period fort, we manned the inner walls of the S.E. corner and got to fire into the inner entrance where an attacker would be if they breached the first door, and worked to breach the second set of doors.

My wife picked me up a copy of Bad Blood for Valentine's Day. Very cool. I didn't realize Dunkum could be such a cold-blooded killer. ;-)

"The Constitution is not an instrument for government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government, lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."



-- Patrick Henry, American Patriot, Virginia House of Burgesses, Continental Congress,

Governor of Virginia, "Give me liberty or give me death!"
William Clarke Quantrill





Feb 24 2008 4:25 PM

During the Civil War, the government denied citizens of Missouri their constitutional rights such as access to counsel and due process of law, and could detain him/her indefinitely in violation of U.S. law. Any citizen accused of conspiring with the enemy, in anyway, such as giving water, food, or shelter, be it true or not, that person and often their family was arrested. The penalty might very; jailed without council of law, hung at the nearest tree, or shot down in his/her yard as an enemy. The government shielded that decision and the reasons behind it from meaningful review by council of law.
This became such a common happening in Missouri, there was not a man among us that could not recite, in detail, the capturing, imprisonment or killing of a family member or friend; man, woman or child.
W.C. Quantrill
These cases will define the scope of presidential powers and the Bill of Rights for years to come. The situation in Missouri is a topic at Civil War Round Tables and by Historians to this day.
