LOUISIANA, Mo. — Louisiana Area Historical Museum President Brent Engel gave a program entitled “Brothers, Betrayers, Sisters and Scumbags” to the GFWC Chautauqua Club on Oct. 2. The presentation focused upon Union and Confederate soldiers, scalawags and instigators in Pike County during the Civil War. The stories included a Confederate officer who ordered his men to shoot their enemies in the gut because it gave victims a few moments to think about dying, a devout Christian Union commander who told troops to kill rebels on sight instead of taking prisoners, and a prim and proper Louisiana woman who nevertheless was a Confederate spy.
