The beautiful state of Missouri played host to over 1162 recorded engagements during the four long years of the Civil War within it's borders.
This historic era, though tragic, held it's humorous events and it's tragedy. From these, some wonderful stories have emerged, enough to fill several volumes of such works. We are proud to present the second in our series of Civil War stories. The basis for these stories, for the most part, can be traced back to one underlying meaning in a famous address given by Governor Claiborne Jackson in 1861.
"Rise, then, and drive out ignominiously the invaders who have desecrated the soil which your labors have made friutful and which is consecrated by your homes....."
The men of Missouri answered the call. When it was all over, the men of Missouri left behind for posterity some of history's most famous legends; the James Brothers, the dashing cavalry officer JO Shelby, the dueling brigadier general, the legends of William Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson...and the list goes on...
