MISSOURI IN 1898: MISSOURI AND THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR Inside back cover Introductory Note The members of the Missouri Press Association, on May 26, 1898, dur­ ing their thirty-second annual meeting in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, found­ ed the State Historical Society of Missouri. The University of Missouri, located in Columbia, provided a home for the Society, and it has been locat­ ed on that campus since its inception. In October 1906, the first issue of the Missouri Historical Review, the Society's journal, appeared. The Review has been printed quarterly without interruption since that date. An award-winning publication, it has provided the most extensive writings on the history of the state and its people. As part of the State Historical Society's centennial celebration, the 1998 quarterlies will depart from their usual format of publishing articles and edit­ ed works by contemporary historians and writers. This January issue features past annual meeting addresses, including "Rumors of a Little Rebellion in Dixie: Real Women and Their Region," presented last fall by historian Margaret Ripley Wolfe. The remarks by Dr. Wolfe, a professor of history at East Tennessee State University, were well received by the audience and cer­ tainly merit inclusion in this special centennial issue. In addition to printing the 1997 annual meeting address in this number, the address prepared by Charles M. Harvey for the first annual meeting that occurred December 5-6, 1901, is included. Lloyd Lewis's remarks before the April 25, 1939, annual meeting are featured, as are the comments pre­ pared by David D. March for the October 1, 1977, annual meeting. Each of these three speeches has been previously printed in the Review. When appropriate, minor editorial changes, the correction of typographical errors, and illustrations have been inserted in the Harvey, Lewis, and March texts. Harvey, a journalist with the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, wrote a paper titled "Missouri from 1849 to 1861." Unable to attend the meeting, his comments on that time period were delivered by Isidor Loeb, at the time the secretary of the Society. Lewis, a drama critic and sports editor for the Chicago Daily News, spoke to the 1939 annual meeting audience about "Propaganda and the Kansas- Missouri War." A professor emeritus of history at Northeast Missouri State University (Truman State) at the time of his 1977 address, and a 1981 recipient of the Society's Distinguished Service Award, March's "Sobriquets of Missouri and Missourians" presents a lighter side to the state's heritage. The officers and trustees of the State Historical Society, and its editori­ al staff, trust that the readers of this number will find the selected annual meeting addresses to their liking. We are hopeful that the centennial issues will provide today's and future readers with a flavor of the quarterly's past. James W.

    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.

    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

DONOR INFORMATION Consult the reference staff about donor information. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Lilburn Adkin Kingsbury was born 14 October 1884, to Robert Taylor and Alice Virginia Smith Kingsbury. He lived his entire life on the family farm near New Franklin, Missouri, until his death on July 1, 1983. He was a third-generation descendant of Jere Kingsbury, who immigrated to the Boonslick area of the Missouri Territory in 1816. Kingsbury attended Central Methodist College in Fayette, Missouri, for two years before leaving in 1905 to become a cashier for the New Franklin Bank. He left the bank to devote more time to his insurance business, begun in 1908, and to assist his father with the family’s apple orchards. He held memberships in the New Franklin Methodist Church, the State Historical Society of Missouri, the Boonslick Historical Society, the Missouri State Writers Guild, the Howard Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, the Order of Eastern Star, and the National Button Society. He was a founding member and the first president of the Cooper-Howard County Historical Society, which later became the Boonslick Historical Society.

    Clinton County in Pictures Would Not Be Completed Without Mention of the Part Harold Played in Its Pioduction

    CLINTON COUNTY PICTURES A PICTORIAL REVIEW OF CLINTON COUNTY COMMEM­ ORATING ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF PROGRESS. FOREWORD In attempting to present the history of Clinton county in picture and story the editor realized that he was undertaking a task of gigantic proportions that would require much time and labor as well as a large financial outlay to complete. But had we known as well the magnitude of that task, and its cost, as we know it now, the work would never have been attempted. But once begun, regardless of the cost or the labor involved we determined to see it through. We did not begin the work with any idea of large profit; if it paid its way and a small compensation for the labor involved we would be satisfied. Having lived in Clinton and being the editor of one of its newspapers for a number of years; we felt some pride in our county and wished to publish a volume that would be the best representation of the county that had ever appeared in print. From the beginning it was our desire and intention to publish a history different from anything heretofore produced. We have followed the modern trend of using pictures with short narrative, descriptive or biographical material of each to tell the story. We have tried to represent Clinton County at its best; to give an attractive presentation of our county's business, educational and social life. The book is ar­ ranged in sections, the first section being about the county as a whole. This is fol­ lowed by sections on the towns including the farm homes around them.
