Colonel James A. Mulligan and his Union troops, charged with defense of the city, entrenched on the hill on which Masonic College stood. Price ordered heavy firing on September 18, and Mulligan surrendered two days later when he lost hope for reenforcement and his water supply was depleted. The cover picture, painted by an eyewitness, F. Dominico, a Hungarian exile, while the battle was in progress, is owned by The State Historical Society. A UNION BAND DIRECTOR VIEWS CAMP ROLLA: 1861 EDITED BY DONALD H. WELSH* One of the highly interesting Civil War items which has come to the Society recently is the journal kept by C. M. Chase at Rolla during the summer of 1861. Charles Monroe Chase, born in Lyndon, Vermont, in 1829, graduated from Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, in 1853. After teaching music and studying law in Cincinnati, he moved to Sycamore, Illinois, in 1856. Chase was admitted to the bar in 1857 and joined Jacob A. Simons in practice from 1858 to 1862, serving at the same time as police magistrate and as leader of a brass band. During this period he also edited the Sycamore DeKalb County Sentinel. On July 2, 1861, Chase and ten members of his band enlisted in the Thirteenth Illinois Infantry on a special three-month contract. The group left Sycamore on July 8, 1861, and Chase quickly enrolled five additional men, as his contract called for a band of 16 pieces. In his journal, which begins on July 21 and closes shortly after the band's discharge on October 10, Chase comments freely on army life and on the Rolla community, where he spent nearly the entire time. In 1863 Chase joined the staff of the Sycamore True Republican & Sentinel as Kansas correspondent, and in 1865 he returned to his birthplace to establish the Vermont Union, which he continued to edit until his death in 1902. The 1861 journal is published through the courtesy of its owner, the author's daughter, Miss N. Louise Chase, of New London, Connecticut, who earlier loaned the Society ten letters written from Rolla by her father during the same period. The original text is retained with changes in spelling and punctuation only where needed for clarity. Camp Rolla Phelps Co. Mo. Sunday July 21, 1861 One week ago last Monday night the Sycamore Brass Band left Sycamore to join Col Wymans 13th Illinois Regiment, at that time encamped at Caseyville Illinois. -1 *Donald H.

Wyman commanded the 13th Illinois Infantry during the first months of the war. 307 308 Missouri Historical Review Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, February I, lS<J,i A View of Rolla and the Fort When we arrived in camp we . were in a poor condition to appear on parade, but we did appear, and made some bunglers work, both in marching and in playing. To day it has rained almost constantly. I have been out of the tent but once or twice. Have written three or four letters. We have not played a note on the horns during the day. We were excused from guard mounting this morn, and to night Dress parade was omitted on account of the rain, and our practice we have omitted. I cannot help thinking of the difference in camp and home life. Here we are content with simple necessaries, or even much less. Our fare here has consisted of hard crackers and pork with coffee, and sometimes cooked in a manner which could not be swallowed anywhere else except in camp. Our quarters are not the most comfortable. Sixteen of us quartered in a round tent 14 feet in diameter, without a chair or table, yet we get along. Nights sixteen in a bed is rather too thick for comfort. One man cant turn over without turning over the whole crowd like a pancake. Since we arrived here there have been two dances in town, with ladies belonging to men and officers in the enemies army; they seem tolerably well pleased with the Union Soldiers. Harsha2 and I played Base and Barytone for the music. Today two companies from this regiment returned to camp after 4 days scouting bring 25 prisoners, and about 30 horses. One man captured was a captain in the Secession army. Some of the boys spoke insultingly to him as the scouting party halted. He replied firmly—-"I am a soldier unarmed; dont you insult me in my pres­ ence." It was a good reply and convinced me that he was a man. This regiment is considered one of the best from Illinois. Everyone 2Mort E. Harsha was "1st Barytone" in the Sycamore Band. A Union Band Director Views Camp Rolla: 1861 309 likes Col. Wyman, and all his officers. ... It is now nearly nine o clock, the boys are all abed, or stretched out upon the ground with their shawls around them trying to go to sleep. Ill follow. Monday morning July 22 1861 We had boiled potatoes, fried pork, hard crackers for breakfast this morning. The potatoes were quite a treat. At eight this morn We performed duty, mounting guard. It is this. We play one quick­ step for the guard to march onto the ground, then a waltz or whatever we please for inspection of arms. Then a slow march and march to the head of the guard, then turn, cheer and march back to place on a quickstep. Then a short quickstep to march the guard off. The boys want to get off this duty as it consists of the same thing as dress parade. Our regular duty at mounting Guard and Dress parade requires nine tunes per day. After mounting guard we proceeded to the court house and drilled an hour and a half. Life not very good. Perhaps we are overdoing the thing. But most of the boys are good grit, and determined to persevere.

    USDA United States Forest Mark Twain National Forest 401 Fairgrounds Road z-z-;=;; Department of Service Rolla, Missouri 65401 Agriculture (573) 364-4621 FAX (573) 364-6844 File Code: 1950 Date: February 16, 2012 Dear Sir or Madam: Mark Twain National Forest has completed the analysis of a Forest-wide integrated management strategy to control the spread of non-native invasive plant species (NNIP) within the National Forest over the next 10 years; or until circumstances change to the point that the analysis is no longer valid. There are 32 NNIP species currently inventoried and mapped (1,966 sites) which infest approximately 32,428 acres of Mark Twain National Forest. Enclosed is a copy of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for this project. Three alternatives are analyzed in the EIS. Under Alternative 1, no manual, mechanical, chemical, or biological treatment of existing or future NNIP populations would occur. Alternative 2 (Preferred Alternative) would implement an integrated program for the prevention, suppression, reduction, and eradication of existing and future NNIP infestations on the forest. Control methods would include various combinations of manual, mechanical, chemical, cultural, and biological treatments. Herbicide is proposed on 0.2% of the acres dispersed across Mark Twain National Forest. Alternative 3 would allow only manual, mechanical, and cultural treatments, and limited use of specific biological agents; no herbicides would be allowed. On February 14,2012, I signed a Record of Decision (ROD) approving the Integrated Non- native Invasive Plant (NNIP) Control Project. Alternative 2, the selected alternative, authorizes the control ofNNIP using a combination of manual, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods.

    Biographies from History of Johnson County 1881

    BiographicalS k e t c h e s . All men cannot be great; each has his sphere and the success of his life is to be measured by the mannerin which he fills it. But men may be both true and good, maybe morally great, tor in true living there are no degrees of greatness —there is no respect to persons. It is not intended in the following pages to include all the several and seperate acts of a man's life, important or otherwise. The design is to give the merest outline, for a complete review of the life and character of the person named, would be both unwarranted and without general value. The names which follow, for the most part, are those of men who have been or are now closely identified with the interests of the county and their respective townships. The sketches of many of the early settlers are found elsewhere in this volume; but to have given a sketch of every man in Johnsoncount}' would have been utterly impossible. If any have been omitted, who should have bt5en represented, it was more the fault of them selves or their friends than the publishers of this work. For the most part these have contributed to the enterprise which the publishers have been able to furnish the people. Great care has been taken to give the facts in these sketches as they were given to the historian, and if occasional errors are found, it is largely due to the incorrect statement of the inform ant.
