(Loveless #1) - Colonel Redd and his soldiers were tasked with enforcing Reconstruction policies in the southern town of Blackwater, Missouri. Boyd Johnson was picking off his men as a sharpshooter, targeting only the freedmen because of racial hatred, so Redd had his men raid Boyd’s family home. They found his mother and two young siblings, but Redd refused to accept that Boyd wasn’t there and pistol whipped one of the children over his men’s objections. A third child was hobbling away from the house on crutches, and one of Redd’s men shot him. Col. Redd wished it hadn’t gone down that way, but accepted the boy’s death as an acceptable loss
