I have come across a few of the oaths or bonds of some of those executed at Macon and Huntsville. I have not looked though all of the various lists of the different counties where everyone was indexed. I do not know what Manuscript 451 is - unless that's code for burning them - as in Fahrenheit :)

I have see the mention of different manuscripts (also called 'Books') along the way but I have not been able to discern exactly what they are. In regard to the Kirksville execution documentation, I have not been able to find one piece of official documentation anywhere. No orders, no letters, no reports, no telegrams. (Actually, I could find no correspondence from NE Missouri in regard to Kirksville during the first few weeks of August '62 - There are Macon items, but no Kirksville). There was either a cover-up going on or the pertinent information is filed in some obscure place or someone took the docs home.
