Greetings from the show me state;

Howdy Norman,
Sometimes I too feel like a outsider, where as Missouri was kinda like not north or south just a border state that was just being settled, oh but our boys showed them how to fight coming from mostley Tenn. and Kentuckey,, Scottish and Irish decendants ( the fighting kentuckians are legendary). We didnt have the biggest battles, but i think we maby had the most, and had to ride Shelbys old mule alone cause the confederate states were not able to be of much help to us. Our boys joined confederate forces in other states (better than bein forced into the Yankee army)not leaving enough to protect the home front. So we fought the only way we could,, like rebels that we were.
