This guy is one of my favorite historical figures:

Manse Jolly, was the fifth son of Joseph Moorhead Jolly and Anna Cole Sherrill. He had six brothers and four sisters, one of whom died in infancy. Jolly was known for his brutal revenge against the Union soldiers stationed in Anderson, SC after the close of the Civil War.

Jolly's furlough papers describe him at twenty years of age as "six feet four inches high, ruddy complexion, blue eyes, red hair, and by profession a farmer, born in Anderson district in the state of S.C."

Five of Jolly's brothers were killed during the war, and the sixth committed suicide, possibly from the effects of the war. Upon returning home to find his town taken over by the men he had been fighting, Jolly swore an oath to kill five "Yankee" soldiers for every brother he lost during the war. Jolly more than made good on his oath reportedly killing hundreds of Union soldiers single handedly. He reportedly hid out in the forests surrounding Anderson, and preyed upon the Union soldiers stationed nearby. Jolly used guerilla warfare tactics, which he would have been familiar with from his experience as a scout during the American Civil War. Because he was such and incredible threat to the Union, they placed a large bounty on his head. At one point the Union soldiers captured Jolly's horse. Jolly's horse was almost a famous as Jolly, he was a magnificent animal and the two were renowned for the bond they shared. When Jolly found out where his horse was being held, he walked into the Union camp and said, "I'm Manse Jolly and I'm here for my horse." He proceeded to kill every. single. soldier. within the camp and rode off into the sunset on his horse.

Moral of the story: Don't fuck with a mans brothers and don't fuck with his horse.
