Sni-A-Bar Hills
-
Description
-
Author Schnetzer gives the various origins of the name Sni-A-Bar. According to Schnetzer, the French term Chenal Hubert may be the most creditable source for the name. Additional information is given on Sni-A-Bar Creek, Sni-A-Bar Township, and Sni-A-Bar Hills. This area in eastern Jackson County was familiar territory to William Quantrill and his group. The physical geography was important to them, but "Sni-A-Bar Township in Jackson County became Quantrill's principal rendezvous mainly because this area provided many bushwhackers and Confederate sympathizers." Details are provided for the war activities in this area during the time period of the Civil War.
