This is a recording of a Substack Live session from January 24, 2026 at 7:30pm central time, which was a live audience Q&A for the American Guerrillas series. Wolliver was gracious enough to come on and co-host. We experienced some technical issues with the original plan and had to switch to StreamYard on the fly, which is why the original link from the show notes of Part 11 wouldn’t have worked if you tried to use it to join. Lessons learned for next time.

Bloody Bill Anderson & Co. carve a path of destruction across central Missouri. General Sterling Price rejoins the story and makes one last desperate bid to bring his home state to the Confederacy. And four years of brutal civil war finally come to an end—mostly.
