• ID'D CONFEDERATE COLT MODEL 1860

Accompanied by original leather flap holster with old typed label identifying the original as Colonel Tim Reeves [sic]. In peacetime a Baptist preacher Timothy Reves served as a captain in the 15th Missouri Cavalry later as its colonel and was thus assigned to McCray's Brigade Fagan's Division Army of Missouri under Major General Sterling Price. Reves spent much of his time as a bushwhacker in Arkansas and Missouri. On Christmas Day of 1863 Union Major James Wilson attacked Reves' holiday camp meeting at Doniphan Missouri killing or capturing over one hundred-fifty soldiers and sixty civilians. This action outraged the local southern sympathizers and swelled Reves' ranks with new recruits. The following September at the Battle of Pilot Knob Major Wilson was captured. Reves then took him and six of his men to a clearing and shot them leaving the bodies for the Union Army to find days later. This killing resulted in the Union retaliatory killing of Major Enoch Wolf of the Confederate Arkansas Cavalry under the orders of Union General William Rosecrans. After the close of the war when Confederate troops were given a general amnesty Colonel Timothy Reves refused parole. He returned to Ripley County and his life as a preacher until his death in 1885. See Lowry Confederate Heroines: 120 Southern Women Convicted by Union Military Justice pp. 7-12. Additional information included with this lot.
