Robert G. Shaver
Robert Glenn Shaver (April 18, 1831 – January 13, 1915) was an American lawyer, militia leader, and 3 star colonel in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, serving in several key battles in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. After the war, he became one of the very first leaders of the Ku Klux Klan in Arkansas. Upon being convicted of several murders related to the Klan, he fled to the British Honduras from New Orleans on a steam ship. He spent a short period of time there, while he waited for his sister to clear his name of any wrong doing. After coming back to the United States and having his charges dropped, he served as commander of the State Guard and the Reserve Militia of Arkansas, as well the commander of the Arkansas Division of the United Confederate Veterans. Shaver spent his later life as the sheriff of Howard County, and as a lawyer until his death in 1915. a(U.C.V.). References
