Andrew Walker is described by Edward E. Leslie in the book, "The Devil Knows How to Ride" as a modest man who stood up for Quantrill numerous times preventing his lynching. From page 77 of that book, " A great many people were in town the next day and the excitement ran very high. In the afternoon I thought it time to start home and went to the stable to get my horse. When I arrived on the public square, I found a great crowd gathered about. I rode up to them to see what it meant and learned that they were going to hang Quantril...I told them they must not do it; but some of them seemed inclined to be stubborn about it. I told them if they did, they would do it over my dead body and they gave it up." ********************************* Survived War. Saved Quantrill's life on two occasions. Leaving Price's Army Quantrill informed Andrew of a plan to raid the home of Andrew's father, Morgan. Informed neighbors, probably because of his attraction to Walker's sister, Nannie (Anna) and with eleven others defeated the marauders. She became Quantrill's mistress. In this action, the first Union soldier killed in Jackson County during the Civil War was killed by Quantrill. She was later won over by Joe Vaughan. This was the first mention of Quantrill's named in Jackson county, Mo.
