One was William T. Anderson, Jr. He was a horseman and a pistolero. Generally a superb tactician, and on one occasion, he displayed understanding of strategy comparable to Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson. He apparently knew only one outlet for releasing deep grief and found his calling ––in the killing of enemies, both personal and to the Southern cause.

I don't have the time to read this whole article right now but I browsed through it and it looks pretty interesting. It reminded me of the Clint Eastwood movie "The outlaw Josie Wales". This clip of the movie below is one example of what the article speaks of when it comes to mounted riders with guns. There are other things in the movie that deal with the subject of the Redlegs too that are mentioned.

Ride With The Devil portrays the raid in Kansas as part of the movie.
