Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over one thousand Civil War engagements were fought in Missouri, and the conflict could not be quarantined from civilian life. In the countryside, the wives and mothers of absent soldiers had to cope with marauders from both sides. Children saw their fathers and brothers beaten, hanged or shot. In the cities, a cheer for Jeff Davis could land a young boy in jail, and a letter to a sweetheart in the Confederate army could get a girl banished from the state. Women volunteered to care for the flood of wounded and sick soldiers. Slavery crumbled and created new opportunities for black men to serve in the Union army but left their families vulnerable to retaliation at home. The turbulence and bitterness of guerrilla war was everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guerrilla warfare, border fights, and unorganized skirmishes are all too often the only battles associated with Missouri during the Civil War. Combined with the state’s distance from both sides’ capitals, this misguided impression paints Missouri as an insignificant player in the nation’s struggle to define itself. Such notions, however, are far from an accurate picture of the Midwest state’s contributions to the war’s outcome. Though traditionally cast in a peripheral role, the conventional warfare of Missouri was integral in the Civil War’s development and ultimate conclusion. The strategic battles fought by organized armies are often lost amidst the stories of guerrilla tactics and bloody combat, but in The Civil War in Missouri, Louis S. Gerteis explores the state’s conventional warfare and its effects on the unfolding of national history. Both the Union and the Confederacy had a vested interest in Missouri throughout the war. The state offered control of both the lower Mississippi valley and the Missouri River, strategic areas that could greatly factor into either side’s success or failure. Control of St. Louis and mid-Missouri were vital for controlling the West, and rail lines leading across the state offered an important connection between eastern states and the communities out west. The Confederacy sought to maintain the Ozark Mountains as a northern border, which allowed concentrations of rebel troops to build in the Mississippi valley. With such valuable stock at risk, Lincoln registered the importance of keeping rebel troops out of Missouri, and so began the conventional battles investigated by Gerteis. The first book-length examination of its kind, The Civil War in Missouri: A Military History dares to challenge the prevailing opinion that Missouri battles made only minor contributions to the war. Gerteis specifically focuses not only on the principal conventional battles in the state but also on the effects these battles had on both sides’ national aspirations. This work broadens the scope of traditional Civil War studies to include the losses and wins of Missouri, in turn creating a more accurate and encompassing narrative of the nation’s history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil War Missouri stood at the crossroads of America. As the most Southern-leaning state in the Middle West, Missouri faced a unique dilemma. The state formed the gateway between east and west, as well as one of the borders between the two contending armies. Moreover, because Missouri was the only slave state in the Great Interior, the conflicts that were tearing the nation apart were also starkly evident within the state. Deep divisions between Southern and Union supporters, as well as guerrilla violence on the western border, created a terrible situation for civilians who lived through the attacks of bushwhackers and Jayhawkers. The documents collected in Missouri’s War reveal what factors motivated Missourians to remain loyal to the Union or to fight for the Confederacy, how they coped with their internal divisions and conflicts, and how they experienced the end of slavery in the state. Private letters, diary entries, song lyrics, official Union and Confederate army reports, newspaper editorials, and sermons illuminate the war within and across Missouri’s borders. Missouri’s War also highlights the experience of free and enslaved African Americans before the war, as enlisted Union soldiers, and in their effort to gain rights after the end of the war. Although the collection focuses primarily on the war years, several documents highlight both the national sectional conflict that led to the outbreak of violence and the effort to reunite the conflicting forces in Missouri after the war.

Long before the Civil War began, Missouri was deeply divided over whether slavery should be extended to neighboring Kansas. This book takes an in-depth look at the guerrilla warfare grounded in this division.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a border state, Missouri was coveted by both the Union and the Confederacy at the beginning of the Civil War. Missourians took sides, with politicians trying to either keep Missouri in the Union or trying to secede and join the ranks of the Confederate States. In the end, the Show Me State remained with the Union but was given an honorary status in the Confederacy, even being represented with a star on the Confederate flag. Fighting soon erupted in the state, causing Missourian to fight Missourian-a sort of civil war within a civil war. The largest battle fought in Missouri was the Battle of Wilson's Creek, August 10, 1861, where Union forces under Nathaniel Lyon and Franz Sigel attacked Confederate forces under Ben McCulloch in the early-morning hours. While Wilson's Creek allowed the Confederates to retain control of the southwestern portion of the state, they soon retreated to Arkansas. While in Arkansas, Confederate forces made forays and raids into Missouri. Missouri troops were brigaded together and fought in both the Trans-Mississippi and Western theaters. Battles included Pea Ridge, Arkansas; Corinth, Iuka, Big Black River, and Vicksburg, Mississippi; Pleasant Hill and Jenkins' Ferry, Arkansas; New Hope Church and Allatoona, Georgia; and Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee. Major battles in Missouri during the war include Belmont, Carthage, Independence, Lexington, Little Blue River, Newtonia, Springfield, and Wilson's Creek. The following men from Missouri became generals in the Confederate Army: John S. Bowen, John B. Clark, Jr., Francis Marion Cockrell, Daniel, M. Frost, Martin E. Green, John Sappington Marmaduke, Mosby Monroe Parson, Sterling Price, Joseph O. Shelby, andJohn G. Walker. The end of the war found most of the Missourians in Alabama, where they were surrendered and paroled, eventually making their way home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War, the state of Missouri witnessed the most widespread, prolonged, and destructive guerrilla fighting in American history. With its horrific combination of robbery, arson, torture, murder, and swift and bloody raids on farms and settlements, the conflict approached total war, engulfing the whole populace and challenging any notion of civility. Michael Fellman's Inside War captures the conflict from "inside," drawing on a wealth of first-hand evidence, including letters, diaries, military reports, court-martial transcripts, depositions, and newspaper accounts. He gives us a clear picture of the ideological, social, and economic forces that divided the people and launched the conflict. Along with depicting how both Confederate and Union officials used the guerrilla fighters and their tactics to their own advantage, Fellman describes how ordinary civilian men and women struggled to survive amidst the random terror perpetuated by both sides; what drove the combatants themselves to commit atrocities and vicious acts of vengeance; and how the legend of Jesse James arose from this brutal episode in the American Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General William Tecumseh Sherman said of Confederate womanhood: "You women are the toughest set I ever knew. The men would have given up long ago but for you. I believe you would keep this war up for thirty years."Yet unlike many collections penned for the Daughters of the Confederacy, this book has a conciliatory tone. Yes, it includes accounts of suffering and bitterness. But the preface states the authors "do not desire to keep alive sectional bitterness or revive memories which have lain dormant for half a century."What they did intend was to record the sacrifices and efforts made by women of the south during the war. One of the most moving sections of the book is at the end. It is a first-hand recounting of the gathering on the field of Gettysburg of the veterans of both sides, fifty years after the battle.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
