Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Battles and Biographies of Missourians, or the Civil War Period of Our State If any here, By false intelligence or wrong surmise, Hold me a foe; If I unwittingly or in my rage Have aught committted that is hardly borne By any in this presence, I desire To reconcile me to his friendly peace. ´Tis death to me to be at enmity - I hate it, and desire all men´s love. - Shakespeare. During the Civil War 487 battles were fought in the State of Missouri. Such a display of the war passion almost demands an apology to the civilized world. But the world will applaud the military activity of our people when it comprehends the conditions which alone are answerable for so much bloodshed. These conditions are unfolded in the first five chapters. Then follow seven chapters dealing distinctively with the successes and failures of the Missouri State Guards. This was a remarkable organization with a remarkable career, heretofore insufficiently distinguished by historians from Confederate troops. During the first year of the war there were practically no Confederate soldiers in Missouri. All the fighting occurred between the State Guards and the Federal troops. The Missouri State Guards marched and fought under the flag of Missouri, an ensign made of blue merino, with the coat-of-arms of the State emblazoned in gold on both sides. The purposes of the State Guards was to repel invasion and to hold the State in an attitude of armed neutrality. After the battle of Pea Ridge, the State Guards were gradually absorbed into the Southern Confederate service.
