520    In the twenty-first century, the word vigilante usually 
       conjures up images of cinematic heroes like Batman, Zorro,
       the Lone Ranger, or Clint Eastwood in just about any film 
       he's ever been in. But in the nineteenth century, 
       vigilantes roamed the country long before they ever made 
       their way onto the silver screen. In Faces Like Devils, 
       Matthew J. Hernando closely examines one of the most 
       famous of these vigilante groups--the Bald Knobbers. 
       Hernando sifts through the folklore and myth surrounding 
       the Bald Knobbers to produce an authentic history of the 
       rise and fall of Missouri's most famous vigilantes. He 
       details the differences between the modernizing Bald 
       Knobbers of Taney County and the anti-progressive Bald 
       Knobbers of Christian County, while also stressing the 
       importance of Civil War-era violence with respect to the 
       foundation of these vigilante groups. Despite being one of
       America's largest and most famous vigilante groups during 
       the nineteenth century, the Bald Knobbers have not 
       previously been examined in depth. Hernando's exhaustive 
       research, which includes a plethora of state and federal 
       court records, newspaper articles, and firsthand accounts,
       remedies that lack. This account of the Bald Knobbers is 
       vital to anyone not wanting to miss out on a major part of
       Missouri's history.
