Preserving Our Civil War Battle Flags BY LESLIE ANDERS* Missouri has long seemed a "gold mine" to historians. Few Americans—and by no means all Missourians—appreciate what hap­ pened to the Show Me State in the Civil War, that greatest of nineteenth-century national disasters that unveiled to mankind the American character and its distinctive way of war. Specialists have long since known that 109,000 Missourians donned Union blue, that "prob­ ably" 30,000 served in Confederate gray. We have understood for a century that 14,000 Missourians lost their lives defending the Stars and Stripes, but thanks to the scattering of records, we are just now learning that another 6,500 Missourians died for the Stars and Bars.1 Stigmatized by the prewar abolitionist press as a treasonable den of sadistic slavemasters and illiterate rednecks, Unionist Missourians •Leslie Anders is professor emeritus in the Department of History and Anthro­ pology, Central Missouri State University, Warrensburg. He has the B.A. degree from the College of Emporia, Emporia, Kansas, and the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Missouri-Columbia. 1 Leslie Anders, ed. and comp., Confederate Roll of Honor: Missouri (Warrens­ burg, Mo.: West Central Missouri Genealogical Society Library, 1989), especially iii-xii. 1 2 Missouri Historical Review and their Secessionist friends and neighbors alike suffered from the widespread Yankee stereotyping and the Rebel delusion that Mis­ sourians were unanimously fervent Confederates. Imagine, then, the amazement of many just now learning that more than two hundred Federal unit flags, colors and guidons turned over to state authorities by Missouri's demobilizing regiments between 1864 and 1866 are in the custody of the Missouri State Museum. Most remain furled, and it is anyone's guess how far disintegration has proceeded. And it must be a shock to many to find that flags for only three of our many Confederate units—emblems captured on the field of battle—have come into state custody in the last century and a quarter. To be sure, many a proud rebel colonel would have "thought long and hard" before yielding his flags and rosters to a Republican adjutant general. Indeed, a defiant General Joseph O. Shelby simply buried his flags in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass, Texas. Most commanders, however, probably took their flags home to brave the certain ravages of time, insects, mold, fire, rain and uncaring descendants. If these surviving banners could talk, they could tell stirring tales of heroism and tragedy from our national epic sufficient to keep the most casual "buffs" spellbound for days on end. The flags cannot talk, but they can, in future years, bear eloquent witness for Missourians yet unborn—if preserved for posterity's viewing.

    1 Police Chief No, Chief Politician Yes The Life of Leon Mercer Jordan, and the Shaping Memories of His Father and Grandfather By Robert M. Farnsworth 2 Dedicated to James C. Olson, whose professional dedication to history led him to complete his biography of Stuart Symington despite years of physical difficulty near the end of his life. His example challenged me in my elder years to tell the story of a remarkable man who made a significant difference in my life. 3 Preface How All This Began I moved from Detroit to Kansas City with my wife and four children in the summer of 1960 to assume my first tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor of American Literature at Kansas City University. The civil rights movement was gathering steam and I had made a couple of financial contributions to the Congress of Racial Equality while still in Detroit. CORE then asked if I were interested in becoming more socially active. I said yes, but I was moving to Kansas City. It took them months to catch up with me again in Kansas City and repeat their question. I again said yes. A few weeks later a field representative was sent to Kansas City to organize those who had showed interest. He called the first meeting in our home. Most who attended were white except for Leon and Orchid Jordan and Larry and Opal Blankinship. Most of us did not know each other, except the Jordans and the Blankinships were well acquainted. The rep insisted we organize and elect officers.

The effect of this on-going, scholarly ‘explosion’, in which both black and white historians are actively engaged, is both manifold and wide-reaching for in illuminating myriad aspects of African American life and culture from the colonial period to the very recent past it is simultaneously, and inevitably, enriching our understanding of the entire fabric of American social, economic, cultural and political history. Perhaps not surprisingly the depth and breadth of coverage received by particular topics and time-periods has so far been uneven.

    PlistoriosLl 3R,e*v-ie"W" The State Historical Society of Missouri COLUMBIA, MISSOURI COVER DESCRIPTION: The front-cover illustration is a reproduc­ tion of George Caleb Bingham's portrait of John Woods Harris. Moving in 1817 from Madison County, Kentucky, to Thrall's Prairie in western Boone County, Missouri, Harris became a prominent merchant and agriculturalist. Harris experimented in agriculture and continually enlarged, improved and developed his farm. In 1873 the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association awarded Harris's farm the title of "Model Farm of Missouri." Harris also engaged in the mercantile business in Columbia, Rocheport and Middle Grove. He won election as Boone Coun­ ty's representative to the Missouri legislature in 1860 and 1864. Harris also served on the University of Missouri's board of curators. George Caleb Bingham, a friend of Harris, completed this portrait in 1837. Mrs. William Jackson Hendrick, a daughter of Harris, presented the portrait to the State Historical Society in 1923. The Harris portrait, along with fourteen other portraits, one landscape, two genre paintings, four engravings, two litho­ graphs and numerous sketches presently are being displayed in the Society's Art Gallery. This exhibit commemorates the 100th anniversary of Bingham's death. The State Historical Society Art Gallery is open to the public 8:00 A.M.-4:30 P.M., Monday-Friday, excepting legal holi­ days.

  • Freedom and Identity in Post-Civil War Indian Territory and Oklahoma
    119 CHAPTER 7 “It is Our Freedom that Makes Us Different”1: Freedom and Identity in Post-Civil War Indian Territory and Oklahoma Leroy Myers University of Oklahoma INTRODUCTION Decades after the Civil War, an 89-nine-year-old Lucinda Davis recalled her life as a slave in Indian Territory during the tumultuous 1860s. She had a Creek Indian owner and lived in the Creek Territory, located in the eastern portion of present-day Oklahoma. Her parents, also owned by Creeks, had different masters.2 At the war’s end, and like many formerly enslaved people, Davis reunited with her parents. But unlike the majority of emancipated slaves, freedom for former Creek slaves like the Davis family meant full membership in the Creek Nation. Full membership provided exclusive rights to tribal land and participation in the nation’s political culture. For Lucinda Davis, full membership allowed her to marry, own property, build a home, raise children, and freely live within Creek tradition. However, while the Davis family experienced full Creek citizenship most African Americans like A.G. Belton suffered from racial violence in the Deep South. In 1891, Belton proclaimed that “times are hard and getting harder every year we as a people 1 Portions of this essay appear in Leroy Myers “Land of the Fair God: the Development of Black Towns in Oklahoma, 1870-1907” (MA Thesis, University of Oklahoma, 2016).

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of trie original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

Davis Assistant Professor of History, African American Studies, and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Gregory Eghigian Professor of History William J. Doan Professor of Theatre Michael Kulikowski Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of History and Classics Head, Department of History iii ABSTRACT This dissertation argues for the central place of theaters and places of amusement in the story of the African American fight for citizenship in the northern United States from 1865 to 1915. The 1875 Civil Rights Act explicitly mentions “theaters” as public accommodations that could not be segregated under federal law. Despite this and other state laws preventing segregation, northern African Americans were still subjected to segregation, harassment, and violence in these spaces. This study tells the stories of African American litigants throughout the northern United States who brought the fight for citizenship and equal rights to municipal, state, and federal courts. Their cries for justice and equality reveal that the system known as Jim Crow segregation—most often recognized as a southern phenomenon—was actually conceived in the North.

From the collections of the George Washington Carver National Monument. Thirst for Knowledge: Historic Context for the 1872 Neosho Colored School The first national superintendent of schools for the Freedmen’s Bureau, northerner John W. Alvord, began his tenure with the Bureau in late 1865 with a personal tour of the former confederate states. His first report for the Bureau, written in January of 1866, commenced with the following notes. “The desire of the freedmen for knowledge cannot be overstated.” He included a list of reasons for that enthusiasm, the first of which was “the natural thirst for knowledge common to man.”1 1 John W.
