HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

This collection consists of documents surrounding events connected with the courts martial and incarceration of military prisoners in the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City during the period 1862 to 1877. The Union Army’s primary military prison located at Alton, Illinois had proved to be inadequate as the Civil War continued to provide prisoners of war from the Confederacy and an increasing number of Union army criminals, making overcrowding and contagious disease tremendous problems. A smallpox epidemic in the winter of 1862 seems to have been the catalyst that forced officials to find an alternative: the financially troubled Missouri State Penitentiary.

The text of the courts martial records and the prisoners’ statements provide a fascinating look into military life in the nineteenth century as well as human nature. Further, the presence of women and civilians among the military prisoners provides evidence of the complexity of the times and politics of the era, which often resulted in some extraordinary legal issues. One example is that of Reverend Fountain Brown, Box 1, Folder 41, who was convicted for violating the Emancipation Proclamation – the only individual to have been so censured. There also is interesting social history to be gleaned from many cases, such as, Box 2, Folder 35, wherein are two formerly enslaved men impressed into army duty. Apparently they had repeatedly requested leave to see their families yet were denied, so they went without permission. They did return, were arrested, court-martialed and sentenced. There are numerous such cases of men who left to go home and plow or harvest fields, only to return and receive five-year sentences.

Most military prisoners began to receive executive pardons in June 1865 and were released, with the exception of those who had been found guilty of murder or rape. However, there still were soldiers committing crimes and being tried, prosecuted and sentenced by military tribunals, so even though there were large numbers of prisoners being released, there still were prisoners being processed through the system. The army continued to use the Missouri State Penitentiary as a military prison until 1877, therefore the collection reflects this, however, the numbers of persons incarcerated by the army were significantly fewer once the hostility of the Civil War had ended.
