Re: Michigan soldier in 6th Missouri company I

It is my understanding that many Mo union regminets were made up from out of state folks. Most union states had met their quota. However, Mo did not and the overflow from the other union states were directed to Mo..

I've seen examples of this. 1st Mo Engineers few if any Mo folk. 4th Mo Cav. same thing. 10th Mo. Inf scattered with out of staters.

You can see this in some KS units also.

Though it would be very time consuming to research, I would guess that the number of out of staters would be stagering in numbers that served the Mo union ranks.
