The Missouri in the Civil War Message Board

Great articles from Ft Scott Tribune

Andrew Schofield has compiled great articles on the Western Civil War Theatre from the official War of the Rebelion records. In Battlefield Dispatch 220 a Capt of the EMM describes how his men used a train to chase and kill "Bushwackers" . Another article has an account of the 3rd Wis attacking a Partisan Ranger camp and wounding "the notorioious Pony Hill". That same article has an account of the 9th Kan fighting Native Americans in the Idaho Territory. There are more articles and they give a great insight into how Union officers thought about Missourians and Native Americans be they from Missouri or another state. ftribune.com
