THE NORTHFIELD BANK JOB By: Craig Winfield Folks, after writing and reviewing these old stories, I like to think I know a little something about the Civil War. Wrong, I had never heard of the Misssouri Drake Amendment. Have you? Simply put, it made third class citizens of ex-Confederate veterans. They couldn't even vote! Friends, they straggled home…they walked…they rode gaunt, slat-sided horses…they came by riverboat…they stole rides on cattle cars. They were defeated and they suffered in silence as the dreaded Carpetbaggers raped their women and ravaged their homes. When the Federal government passed the Drake amendment making the ex-Confederate soldiers a third class citizen-they found another way to survive or die. Here is the rest of the story. Please read this. This is an overlooked story I found in an unusual and different magazine.. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the plight of the ex-Confederate soldiers following the civil war are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort. THE NORTHFIELD BANK JOB By: Craig Winfield Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are lying on some dealer’s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, its worth all the time I spend. As a tribute to the honor of our American Ancestors, Early Settlers, Forefathers, Pioneers and our Native American Indians, my indexed listings will include all names mentioned in the story from this time on.
