Bushwhackers was another name for 'guerrillas' during the Civil War. One such leader of one of these groups was Captain L. G. Mead. See the following website: http://www.tngenweb.org/civilwar/csacav/csatn27.html Nancy

Basically murderors from ambush who killed their neighbors, farmers and other non combatants for little or no reason. That was certainly a downside to the war our family still talks about, roaming thieves, rapists and killers.
