HEY Stephen: That is so true. Those who have no intrest in the Missouri cival war, are missing some of the more interesting parts ,,, the Missouri compermise,crazy John Brown,, the excitment of the border ruffans, who had justifyable cause, the iron bergade, blowin up the miserable rail roads (which were key), the grit of the people, the raw recruits with nothing but a squirell gun, or maby not even that to fight with, and dont people realize that Missouri kept the north busy chaseing SELBYS LONG TAILED MULE, and took the heat off them, with no help from the south, and so much more.
