the highest ranking union officer, that i know of, who was PERSONALLY involved in MASS ROBBERY & THEFT was MG Benjamin "The Beast" Butler, who sent BOXCAR loads of loot home to MA.

Ah, yes. "Beast" Butler.

And I was just mentioning "knuckle-walkers".

"the beast" was also called SPOONS BUTLER, for his well-known habit of STEALING silverware from civilians & churches, wherever he went.
