The Bald Knobbers were a group of vigilantes in the Ozark region of southwest Missouri from 1885 to 1889. They are commonly depicted wearing black horned hoods with white outlines of faces painted on them, a distinction that evolved during the rapid proliferation of the group into neighboring counties from its Taney County origins. The group got its name from the grassy bald knob summits of the nearby Ozark Mountains. The hill where they first met, Snapp's Bald, is located just north of Kirbyville, Missouri. An article in the October 5, 1898 issue of Springfield, Missouri's The Leader-Democrat states:

  • Bald Knobbers – początkowo grupa zorganizowana do samoobrony, dążąca na własną rękę, poza prawem, do likwidacji przestępczości w stanie Missouri. Założona w połowie XIX w. przez m.in. Nata Kinneya, aktywna do ostatniej dekady tego wieku. Członkowie grupy nosili zasłaniające twarz maski z rogami. Niezadowoleni z opieszałości państwa w ściganiu przestępców, sami ich ścigali i mordowali, także porywając z więzień zbyt łagodnie ich zdaniem ukaranych przestępców, którym wymierzali „sprawiedliwsze” kary. Istniała także opozycyjna grupa, zwana „Anti-Bald Knobbers”, obydwie zaciekle się zwalczały. Anti-Bald Knobbersi w 1888 roku zdołali zastrzelić przywódcę Bald Knobbersów. Z biegiem czasu członkowie Bald Knobbers sami zeszli na drogę pospolitego bandytyzmu. (pl)

  • The Bald Knobbers were a group of vigilantes in the Ozark region of southwest Missouri from 1885 to 1889. They are commonly depicted wearing black horned hoods with white outlines of faces painted on them, a distinction that evolved during the rapid proliferation of the group into neighboring counties from its Taney County origins. The group got its name from the grassy bald knob summits of the nearby Ozark Mountains. The hill where they first met, Snapp's Bald, is located just north of Kirbyville, Missouri. An article in the October 5, 1898 issue of Springfield, Missouri's The Leader-Democrat states: Henry Westmoreland is in from Beaver County, Oklahoma, which was formerly a part of the strip known as No-Man's-Land. He says grass is in abundance and cattle plenty, but no efforts are made at raising crops there, except roughness and alfalfa. The venerable gentleman owned a ranch in Taney County at the time of the Bald Knob uprising, and was the man who gave that organization its name. The Bald Knobbers, who for the most part had sided with the Union in the American Civil War, were opposed by the Anti-Bald Knobbers, who for the most part had sided with the Confederates. Hernando summarizes their political role: They began as a group dedicated to protecting life and property, aiding law enforcement officials in the apprehension of criminals, opposing corruption in local government, and punishing those who violated the social and religious mores of their community. In some places, the vigilantes gained much political influence, occupied key offices, and became effectively the ruling faction in local politics. They made many enemies, however, with whom they had several violent, sometimes fatal, confrontations. (en)
