  • The Honey War by Cassie Dinges
    Dinges 1 The Honey War by Cassie Dinges Cassie Dinges is currently a junior at William Jewell College. Next year, she plans to graduate with a degree in both English and Psychology. Cassie has a passion for journalism, and is on the editorial staff of the College’s newspaper, the Hilltop Monitor . In her spare time, she helps with the Lion and Unicorn Reading Program in Liberty, reads, and questions the grammar of others. After graduation, her largest aspiration is to move to New York City to pursue a graduate degree in English, as well as procure an editing position at a publishing house. The concept of a border war is not new to many, especially residents of the Midwest region. Many Missourian children are brought up with tales of civil war scuffles between their state’s Bushwhackers and the Kansan Jayhawkers. The nation still has reminders of these guerilla warfare showdowns today in the form of museums and the mascot of Kansas University. While the border war between Missouri and Kansas is still alive and well known, few know that the Show-Me State almost declared war with the fledgling territory of Iowa. Thirteen miles of land into modern-day Southern Iowa, as well as many profitable honeybee trees became the fodder for a border battle in 1839. This dispute is nicknamed “The Honey War” and was not dismissed after months of bloodshed but rather by a ruling of the Supreme Court. The trouble between Missouri and Iowa can be traced back to the vague state boundaries established for the former when it gained its statehood in 1821.

Lee of the US Corps of Engineers. The Des Moines Rapids was one of two major rapids on the Mississippi River that limited Steamboat traffic on the river through the early 19th century. The Rapids between Nauvoo, Illinois and Keokuk, Iowa- Hamilton, Illinois is one of two major rapids on the Mississippi River that limited Steamboat traffic on the river through the early 19th century. The rapids just above the confluence of the Des Moines River were to contribute to the Honey War in the 1830s between Missouri and Iowa over the Sullivan Line that separates the two states. The map shows the area between Montrose, Iowa and Nauvoo, Illinois in the north to Keokuk, Iowa and Hamilton, Illinois. On the west bank of the river, the names, Buttz, Wigwam, McBride, Price, Dillon, Withrow, Taylor, Burtis and Store appear. On the east bank, Moffat, Geo.

  • 2010 Program
    The 52nd Annual Missouri Conference on History Capitol Plaza Hotel, Jefferson City April 14-16, 2010 Hosted by: The Missouri State Archives & The Missouri Museums Association Welcome to the 52nd Annual Missouri Conference on History! I am delighted to welcome the Missouri Conference on History back to Jefferson City and the Capitol Plaza Hotel. The Missouri State Archives, the State Historical Society of Missouri, the Missouri Conference on History Steering Committee, and the Missouri Museums Association are pleased to provide the diverse sessions seen in this program. The Missouri Museums Association’s sponsorship of a fourth track of sessions and opening reception this year continues to build on the public history elements that have always been a part of this conference. As an archivist, seeing papers and entire sessions drawn from the records of your institution and those of other records repositories is always gratifying. It is always fulfilling to see records that you have helped preserve and make available used in creative and scholarly ways. Just as the sessions will teach us more about our past, this year’s keynote address will provide new insight into the turbulent elements that ensured Missouri’s memory of the Civil War would be anything but conciliatory. This theme also will be illustrated in Divided Loyalties: Civil War Documents from the Missouri State Archives, an exhibit created by the Archives, that will open at the conference and then tour the state during the war’s sesquicentennial. I thank everyone for their continuing support of the conference and hope that it will be beneficial to all.
