Illiterate Sam Hildebrand, one of Missouri's most notorious Civil War guerrillas - often compared to Rob Roy, and the subject of dime novels - was one of the few to survive the war and have his story taken down and published. Shortly after this he was killed in a barroom brawl. Published in 1870, Hildebrand's autobiography has long been out of print and has been a rare and highly prized acquisition.
