Wesley, the source for both Fannin's and my writing on the nature of Federal units in Missouri was "Organization and Status of Missouri Troops in Service During the Civil War" (Washington: Government Printing Office 1902)." Both of our work covers the same ground as that seminal primary resource, which is a pretty expansive work that delves into Union and Confederate troops, and is a must-read for anyone serious about getting a handle on the nature of the military units raised in Missouri during the war. Both the Fannin and Ross offspring of that original 1902 work distill that original into nutshell variants. My work was undertaken to expand upon Fannin's distillation and to provide context as well as a chronological overview of the units not found in either Fannin's version or the original. Toward that end I brought in outside primary sources beyond the 1902 work. I also provided fairly comprehensive lists of militia units and details about them that neither the 1902 work or Fannin's work provided.
