It seems the Yankees were determined to get rid of Bill Anderson, no matter how many times they had to report him dead, doesn't it? This is at least the 4th false report of Bill Anderson's death that our BBAM members have discovered over the past 12 years. This one was just found yesterday by one of them.

From: National Tribune newspaper, Washington, D.C., Sept. 1900
View attachment 1534805
The National Tribune was the predecessor to Stars and Stripes I believe....That monthly publication allowed veterans to recall their experiences as they remembered them.
I see the name Bill Anderson in the Headline and Opening Sentence...Not Bloody Bill Anderson or William T. Anderson. Is there more said about him in the far right column where Lawrence is mentioned? I can't tell where that account happened except a cabin.
Just show the whole article, that one Bill Anderson column is even cut off.
You do know there were other Bill Anderson's in the Civil War...right?
Who submitted it 35yrs after the war ended?
Where is that article printed prior to 1900?
The Union would of been fools to announce his death before confirmation by photographs, documents and people who knew him prior to 10-26-1864.
That account sounds pretty darn exciting for sure! Pouring Lead Into Them, Two Mountain Howitzers, Huge Pile of Arms and Legs...
