    3. I have been reading everyone's comments regarding Enemy Women and I was especially interested in Mr. Ray Burson's review. it seems to me what Mr. Burson is says, with out naming the event or family, is that the Wilson Massacre at Pullium's farm never occurred. It has been awhile since there has been any mention of the Wilson Massacre, also know as Battle Hallow on this list. My gggrandfather William Clinton Jarrett was a member of H Company, 15th Missouri State Militia CSA. While H.Company was not involved at Pullium's farm, I have been interested in the story and have found that there has been a great deal written about the event from many sources. My conclusion at this time is that a massacre did occur at Pullium's Farm on December 25th, 1863, killing 100 of which 35 were civilians. Jerry Ponder quotes a Captain Robert McElroy of the Union Army, who was passing through Doniphan Missouri on November 4 as saying "I am of the opinion that the women of the region are even more daring and treacherous, and, in fact, worse than the men." This may add credence to the book Enemy Women. Ken Jarrett
