Palmyra Abduction and Mass Execution during Civil War
In wartime Missouri near Palmyra guerrilla bands captured Andrew Allsman, a Unionist held as a noncombatant. Gen McNeil ordered ten raiders executed if Allsman was not returned within ten days. Ten men were chosen, jailed, and brought to the fairgrounds for execution after a dawn procession and a somber, televised-like show of force. The volley ended the lives of nine. one survived, and the fate of Allsman remained uncertain.
