Story told from a Missouri bushwhacker viewpoint
A strong willed, independent woman, all Ella Mayfield wanted was to keep her widowed mother and siblings safe during the Civil War. Invasions by Union soldiers and Kansas Jawhawkers into Vernon County, Missouri forced Ella to join the Pawpaw bushwhacker band. Brave and daring, she dressed as a man, was a crack shot and superb horsewoman, trying to protect her family and home near Montevallo.
