註釋An informative guide to one of the Civil War’s most ferociously contested theaters: “Concise and fact-filled . . . Excellent.” —Military Review
 
During the Civil War, only Virginia and Tennessee saw more action than Missouri. Ulysses S. Grant first proved his ability there. Sterling Price, a former governor of Missouri, sided with the Confederacy, raised an army, and led it in battle all over the state. Notorious guerrilla warriors “Bloody” Bill Anderson and William Quantrill terrorized communities and confounded Union military commanders.
 
This valuable resource provides a chronological overview of more than three hundred of the documented engagements that took place within Missouri’s borders, furnishing photos, maps, biographical sketches, and military tactics.
