1. [MO-CW] For the Historically Disabled and Misinformed...you know who you are [1]
To the Historically Disabled and Misinformed, You have failed in your indevor to sweep history under the rug, in order to tell people history your way. We people of Missouri are well read, not easily mislead. You have used the word "Devisive" to take down the flag of our confederate ancestors, desecrating their memories, and the very cemetery that was given to them for a final resting place. You have sacrificed the will of the people for political correctness, based on a hist
2. [MO-CW] Union Opposition to Order No. 11 [1]
Below are statements by George C. Bingham and Gen. Frank P. Blair speaking out against Order No. 11 issued by Gen. Thomas Ewing. Evidence that most Missourians, even those of Union loyalties, did not approve of such behavior. George Caleb Bingham, ex Union soldier, acting Missouri State Treasurer (Gov. Gamble's Provincial Missouri State Government) Dialogue between Gen Thomas Ewing and George Caleb Bingham: Bingham: "I came from Jefferson City to talk to you briefly about Order No. 11." Ewing: "Don't su

4. Re: [MO-CW] My own list of myths [1]
True But Misunderstood: A Civil War in most States ("civil" relating to "civilian" not "polite" definition) Missouri and Kansas were in the Civil War Both the South and the North were right, wrong, good and bad. It depends on the issue. Jefferson Davis was a loyalist of his native State. Tennessee was a de facto Confederate State. (Not Union) The Dred Scott decision was a hollow victory for South and a major threat to the North John Brown was a terrorist to the South, martyr to the abolitionists. 1857-1860

Mr Williams, Thanks for the added insight. I have seen reprints of George Caleb Bingham's Order #11. Was this Gen Frank Blair the same Frank Blair that was instrumental in bringing Lyon to Missouri? It is certainly a different side of him then what I thought I knew. My ancestors in Cass County were Judge Burton L McFerrin and Reverend Samuel Porter. They had both died before the order, but their children were still there. My Great Grandfather, Maxfield Burton Porter was 16 when they were driven

Janet, The phrase quoted used to be in my email signature. I took it out. I sent Nancy a longer explanation, but I don't really think it's worth it. Most of the tags at the end of the MO-CW messages are probably automatically added by the software, on a semi-random basis. Some of them are rather humorous. RLB are I.

9. Re: [MO-CW] Colored Confederates [1]
Although black Confederates not an uncommon sight in the war, there really wasn't that many from Missouri. Some rode with Quantrill in the Western part of the State but for most of Missouri they were uncommon. Since most Missouri slaveowners were pro-Union or nominally so, slaves did not run off to join the Confederacy. But Missouri did have many U.S. colored troops. Over 5 regiments from St. Louis alone. I have updated my black Confederate webpage. It now has a never before published photo of a black Conf

I have been unable to find a roster of the 1st MO CAV (Union) on the net. If anyone has one, I would greatly appreciate it if they would send me the listing of Isaac Deeder. He is listed in the Illinois 14th Inf as transferring to Co. B in late 1861. He enlisted in the 14th from Quincy, IL. He is buried in Palmyra, IL His military tombstone lists his death in late 1865, and his service in the 1st MO CAV. He had requested a pension earlier that year. I suspect he may have been a prisoner of war and/o
12. Re: [MO-CW] State Guard Records [1]
Jim - There is a Samuel L. Boak who served in H.M. Bledsoe's Company, Missouri Light Artillery, but that is listed as a CSA unit. I understand that unit was later attached to the Army of Tennessee and other units in the eastern theaters. Am I assuming correctly that the Bledsoe's Battery, 8th Division, MO State Guard you mention is not related in any way? Also, I don't recall Wright Boak having any Samuel or Lee Boak siblings. Another thing for me to check I guess. Please expound on the two Bledsoe unit

thanks to all of you who helped me with the edmund burke quote. it was just what we needed. i have written an oral history of my father's experiences in WWII at Okinawa, and I started the book with the development of the war as to 'why' America became involved, because many of the younger ones don't really 'get it'. so that quote was under my title, and i greatly appreciate the assistance of so many of you who helped me. joanne cole

Pat, Sorry to have offended you. I am not a Southerner. Where I grew up, everyone East of the Mississippi was a Yankee. A Red-neck was a person who worked for a living, in the sun, and was highly respected. I don't defend slavery, or use of Southern patriotism to continue it. Without a doubt, all the Southerners had to do to gain acceptance of their "peculiar institution" was to grant slaves basic human rights. In particular, the right to legal recourse. I still believe, however, that northerne

Mx Nappier; I think you will find these web-sites useful. My family, the McFerrin's and Porter's were also driven out of Cass County. Other ancestors were hiding in cornfields from Quantrill.

Hello Everyone, My name is Alinda Miller and I'm with the Friends of Historic Lone Jack. I am working on a research project trying to identify the soldiers that fought at the Battle of Lone Jack on August 16, 1862. We have over 270 unidentified soldiers buried on the battlefield and it is our dearest wish to name all of these soldiers and to place a memorial with each name on it. If you have any information on any of the soldiers that fought at Lone Jack on August 16, 1862, I would be very grateful if

Is there a Bruce Nichols on the list ? If so, please email me as I have a question regarding his new book, "Guerilla Warfare in Civil War Missouri, 1862" Bruce was subscribed to this list recently but I am not sure he is still.
