Doctor John,

Now, when am I ever unkind? Just don't ask my co-workers.

There have been three excellent periodical articles on the desperate Lone Jack battle written in the last 20 years. These are:
--Dr. Leslie Anders' April 1985 "Fighting the Ghosts at Lone Jack," "Missouri Historical Review," vol. 79, no. 3, 332-356;
--William B. Allmon's April 1996 "Sneak Attack at Lone Jack," "Civil War Times Illustrated," vol. 35, no. 1, 62-71;
--Matt Matthews and Kip Lindberg's January 2004 "Shot All to Pieces" "North & South," vol. 7, no. 1, 58-74.

These are all excellent, as I said. Dr. Anders' (one of my favorite professors from my school days) lists the known Union dead of the fight and includes two original maps of the Lone Jack vicinity drawn for him by a relative. Allmon (of Jefferson City) names the leaders of the battle and uses a map from the "O.R." to show the way. Matthews and Lindberg (who monitor this forum, I believe) name the leaders and a few of the lower ranks and include three color maps made for their article using new technology. Alas, I could not find a list of southern names as you describe. Did I miss something?

Puzzled,

Bruce
