Samuel “One-Armed” Berry

Shaker, Teacher, Ruthless Civil War Guerilla

Retail Price: $21.95

Prior to the Civil War, Samuel O. Berry was a college graduate, schoolteacher, and ordained minister in the Christian Church, what many would consider a model citizen in rural Kentucky. However, during the early stages of the war, that would change after his sister was bayoneted to death by a Union soldier, an event that would send this passionate man on a trail of revenge and deep hatred of Yankees for the rest of his life.

After joining the 6th Kentucky Cavalry under General John Hunt Morgan, his hatred eventually led to a lifestyle of robbery, rape, and murder across the Commonwealth until his capture in late 1865.

Nicknamed due to an agricultural accident that severed his right arm below the elbow, “One-Armed” Berry is one of the most notorious Kentucky Guerillas during the Civil War. Samuel “One-Armed” Berry—Shaker, Teacher, Ruthless Civil War Guerilla tells the story of this once mild-mannered teacher and his descent into a life of crime.
