Jamie welcome back,
Hope all is well with your son.
I wanted to explain about order 11, but you were goint to be gone, so I waited. Order 11 here in Missouri was a burn order. It came about because the north couldnt control the people along the Missouri border, so they burned everthing to the ground killed or took the men into the northern army, stole everthing they could, and terrorized the people. Much like Sherman did in the south.
I wish people would research the cival war in Missouri it is verry intreseting, maby even more than where the big battles were fought.
Sally
