100 Missouri Partisans

 

These are true accounts of 100 Missouri people who fought for the South. Some of these stories are the same as those in "Missouri Partisans-Their Deeds And Their Families" Volumes two and three, but the genealogies have been omitted and many more partisans have been added. Volume one of Missouri Partisans is not included because the genealogies are a critical part of the stories of some of the people in that volume. This book contains brief descriptions of their exploits, vintage biographies and newspaper articles, and military dispatches pertaining to those individuals.

A Brief Civil War History Of Missouri

  A brief overview of the Civil War in Missouri. Includes descriptions of the national and state political actions that led up to the war in general and particularly the war in Missouri. Brief descriptions of most major engagements are given in chronological order. Casualty reports are given, but civil war casualty reports are usually unreliable because both sides tended to exaggerate them to make it appear that they fared better in the fighting than they actually did. Also included are a number of notable events in Missouri attributed to, or caused by, the war.
