measuring approximately 8" x 10" with typical heavy over-painting by unknown artist. Published by George Hart in the May-June 1993 issue of MI as George W. Shepherd, Company E, Jeans' Regiment Missouri Confederate Cavalry with an article recounting Shepherd's varied service with the Missouri State Guard, as an officer in Jeans' regiment, and later Quantrill's command. There is no written identification on the image itself and the author does not indicate the provenance. We do not guarantee this attribution. Shepherd participated in the early engagements fought by Price's Missouri State Guard at Carthage, Wilson's Creek and Pea Ridge. When the State Guard was forced to leave Missouri soil Shepherd joined a local regiment called the Jackson County Cavalry then commanded by Colonel Beal G. Jeans and became a 1st Lieutenant. Jeans' Regiment was assigned to Joe Shelby's Brigade and fought at Newtonia, Cane Hill and Prairie Grove, but Lt. Shepherd apparently deserted on January 26, 1863. Shepherd is next reported as "one of Quantrill's principle lieutenants" during the murderous August 21, 1863 raid on Lawrence, Kansas and rode with the infamous band of irregulars until close to the end of the war. Shepherd and a handful of desperados sought temporary refuge in Texas but wisely returned to Missouri and surrendered as army deserters at Lexington in May 1865. While living in Kentucky in 1867, the restless Shepherd became associated with the notorious James Gang and was involved in the bank robbery at Russellville on March 30, 1868. Shepherd was tracked down and captured, spending three years in prison before relocating to Kansas with a clean slate. He lived in Kansas City for many years and died there in 1917 at the ripe old age of 75. The handsome Shepherd probably sat for this undated photograph at the start of the war while a member of the Missouri State Guard. Provenance: Ex George Hart Collection Condition: Plate is G+ with paint still vibrant having accumulated minor contact marks in the field. Tintype was once framed in oval mat.
