In the Texas Reconstruction Era (1865-1877), many returning
Confederate veterans organized outlaw gangs and Ku Klux Klan groups
to continue the war and to take the battle to Yankee occupiers,
native white Unionists, and their allies, the free people. This
study of Benjamin Bickerstaff and other Northeast Texans provides a
microhistory of the larger whole. Bickerstaff founded Ku Klux Klan
groups in at least two Northeast Texas counties and led a gang of
raiders who, at times, numbered up to 500 men. He joined the ranks
of guerrilla fighters like Cullen Baker and Bob Lee and, with their
gangs often riding together, brought chaos and death to the
"Devil's Triangle," the Northeast Texas region where they created
one disaster after another.
