  • Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War a Thesis Presented to the Department of Humanities
    THE KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY: CALLAWAY COUNTY, MISSOURI DURING THE CIVIL WAR A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS By ANDREW M. SAEGER NORTHWEST MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY MARYVILLE, MISSOURI APRIL 2013 Kingdom of Callaway 1 Running Head: KINGDOM OF CALLAWAY The Kingdom of Callaway: Callaway County, Missouri During the Civil War Andrew M. Saeger Northwest Missouri State University THESIS APPROVED Thesis Advisor Date Dean of Graduate School Date Kingdom of Callaway 2 Abstract During the American Civil War, Callaway County, Missouri had strong sympathies for the Confederate States of America. As a rebellious region, Union forces occupied the county for much of the war, so local secessionists either stayed silent or faced arrest. After a tense, nonviolent interaction between a Federal regiment and a group of armed citizens from Callaway, a story grew about a Kingdom of Callaway. The legend of the Kingdom of Callaway is merely one characteristic of the curious history that makes Callaway County during the Civil War an intriguing study. Kingdom of Callaway 3 Introduction When Missouri chose not to secede from the United States at the beginning of the American Civil War, Callaway County chose its own path. The local Callawegians seceded from the state of Missouri and fashioned themselves into an independent nation they called the Kingdom of Callaway. Or so goes the popular legend. This makes a fascinating story, but Callaway County never seceded and never tried to form a sovereign kingdom. Although it is not as fantastic as some stories, the Civil War experience of Callaway County is a remarkable microcosm in the story of a sharply divided border state.

  • Battle and Event
    Places and Major Events Reference Sheet (Map of Missouri with locations) 1. Wilson’s Creek- General Sterling Price of the Missouri State Guard and General McCulloch of the CSA defeated Federal troops under General Nathanial Lyon. General Lyon was killed during this engagement making him the highest ranking casualty of the war to that point. 2. New Madrid and Island No. 10 – From March 2 to April 8, 1862 Federal troops under General Ulysses S. Grant fought for control of Island No. 10 which had been controlled by Confederate forces for most of the war. This location allowed Confederates to impede Union invasion into the south. Brigadier General John P. McCown led the Confederate forces. The Union’s successful capture of the island was the first capture of a Confederate position on the Mississippi during the war. 3. Westport- Sometimes called the Gettysburg of the West the battle of Westport occurred in October of 1864 during General Sterling Price’s Missouri raid. This battle was the turning point in Price’s raid as superior Union forces under Major General Samuel R. Curtis forced Price’s army to retreat. This was the last major battle to be fought west of the Mississippi. 4. Cape Girardeau- On April 23, 1863 Union troops led by Brigadier General John McNeil faced Confederate Brigadier General John S. Marmaduke’s forces here. It was a relatively small engagement, but is significant because it was the running point in Marmaduke’s second raid into Missouri. 5. Camp Jackson- Brigadier General Nathanial Lyon led Federal troops to capture the state militia which had made camp here on May 10, 1861.

  • Kirksville Daily Express - Tuesday, August 6, 1912
    Kirksville Daily Express - Tuesday, August 6, 1912 1862 – AUGUST 6 – 1912 We present today our special edition commemorating the battle of Kirksville which was fought just fifty years ago today, and a series of reminiscences of people who either participated in or witnessed the battle. The task of collating these reminiscences has been assumed by Prof. Violette of the history department of our State Normal School. In his interviews with those who were participants or mere witnesses of the events of the day, he has sought for statements of what they personally saw or did, and not what somebody else saw or did. The reminiscences, therefore, have some peculiar historical value because of this fact. The original intention was to include reminiscences of only those who were here at the time of the battle, either as soldiers or residents, and who are still living here; but it was soon discovered that if the stories of any of the soldiers who participated in the battle were to be included it would be necessary to make an exception to the rule. As far as it is known there is not now a single person living in Kirksville who participated in the battle itself. For many years, Mr. S. M. Johnson, one of McNeil’s men lived here, but he died less than a year ago. We have been fortunate however, in securing an account of the battle from two old soldiers, Captain George H. Rowell, of Battle Creek, Mich., who was under McNeil, and Mr. G. R. Cummings, of Adair County, who was under Porter.

  • 78 Kansas History Price’S Raid and the Battle of Mine Creek
    Confederate General Sterling Price (1809–1867) of Chariton County, Missouri. Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains 37 (Summer 2014): 78–99 78 Kansas History Price’s Raid and the Battle of Mine Creek by Edgar Langsdorf ilson’s Creek was the first great battle of the war west of the Mississippi, and Mine Creek the last,” concluded historian Albert Castel in his 1968 biography of Confederate General Sterling Price. “Between these events is the story of a lost cause. After Mine Creek came limbo.” With this fascinating conclusion in mind, it seemed wrong to “Wallow the Kansas battle’s 150th anniversary year to pass without recognition. Thus, “Price’s Raid and the Battle of Mine Creek,” which was first published in the autumn 1964 issue of the Kansas Historical Quarterly to mark the centennial of that seminal event in Kansas Civil War history, is republished here in its entirety to commemorate the raid’s sesquicentennial. After fifty years Edgar Langsdorf’s fine study remains an important and interesting contribution to the history of the only Civil War battle between regular Union and Confederate troops fought on Kansas soil. It has been edited for style only, so that it might more closely reflect our twenty-first-century usage, and the editors have added a few clarifying comments and additional secondary source citations to the footnotes to reflect more recent additions to the scholarship. In the spring and summer of 1864, when the Civil War was entering its fourth year, the situation of the Union armies was grim. In the east, they had suffered terrible losses in the battles of the Wilderness (May 5 and 6), Spotsylvania (May 12), and Cold Harbor (June 3), while west of the Mississippi campaigns in Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas had ended disastrously, allowing the Southern forces to assume the offensive.

  • First Kansas Colored Infantry
    Remember Me: First Kansas Colored Infantry Where organized: Fort Scott, Kansas Date organized for Federal service: January 13, 1863 Battles: Island Mound, MO; Reeder Farm, MO; Cabin Creek, Indian Territory; Honey Springs, Indian Territory; Poison Spring, AR; Flat Rock Creek, Indian Territory; Timber Hills, Indian Territory Date regiment disbanded: October 1865 Options for newly freed slaves in Arkansas Thousands of slaves abandoned their cabins and followed the Union army as it invaded Confederate Arkansas, even though the army tried to discourage them from doing so. Union soldiers struggled to feed and clothe an increasing number of runaway slaves. Able-bodied men were hired to build fortifications or chop wood for the Federal fleet on the Mississippi River. Many women worked as cooks or laundresses. Newly freed black Arkansans who did not become soldiers or find work with the army were gathered together into camps across the state. Almost 1,000 freed slaves worked in camps near Little Rock. These camps were filled with young, old, and those who were too weak or sick to work. Conditions in these camps were horrible due to exposure to the weather and poor food. Many died from diseases such as measles, mumps, whooping cough, pneumonia, and dysentery. The Union army sometimes appeared more concerned with military matters than with the care of former slaves. “Freedmen farms” were plantations taken by the United States Government that newly freed slaves were allowed to live on and cultivate. Former Union officers owned many of the farms and employed freed slaves to grow cotton and food. Often, freedmen worked all year only to find that the land owners kept the money from the sale of their crops, leaving the freedmen with nothing.
