COMMENTS ON THE SOCIETY AND THE REVIEW It Is always a pleasure to receieve the Missouri Historical Review. I do want to tell you once more that we consider your publication one which is both outstanding in interest and general merit.—T. H. SPENCE, JR., Director, Historical Foundation of the Presbyterian and Reformed Churches, Montreat, N. C. Increasingly, Missouri's points of historical interest are becoming of special interest to tourists, and because of the fine work you have done for many years, this information on our state and on our region is available to pass on to tourists.—MARIE A. KOLB, Director Ozark Playgrounds Assoc, Joplin. I think the Society is doing a mighty fine job in placing very interesting Missouri history before the public and, as a native Missourian, I am very much interested in it.—STEPHEN LINCOLN, State Representative, Harrison County, Mo. I am sure my reaction represents the average number when I say that the Review is 100% improved by its new dress and quality of paper. You and your staff are to be congratulated.—LEO B. CRABBS, JR., Jefferson City. I want to congratulate you on the attractive appearance of the January number of the Review. Not only the cover but the material inside is unus­ ually interesting.—MRS. IDA M. WILHELM, Monett. I have been intending to write you to tell how pleased I am with the new design you have given the Review. It is excellently designed and prepared and is outstanding among the historical magazines I receive.—L. O. HONIG, author, Kansas City. For years I've been writing letters, queries, requests, here and there, but your letter that came today is, without question, the most complete answer and the most generous reply I have ever received. Bar none! You must have gone to a tremendous amount of trouble, for which I am full of guilt, but how it is appreciated!—MRS. JOHN R. LYNCH, Chula Vista, Calif. I certainly appreciate the merit of the Review and the fine work being done by the Society under your guidance.—PAUL R. EDWARDS, San Francisco, Calif. The best thing I've done in a long time was to join the State Historical Society of Missouri.—L. E. OBERHOLTZ, Kansas City. The Review gets better all the time. Thank you for keeping it up to a high standard.—ORA CHARD, Savannah. Personally I thought the last number a masterpiece.—MRS. HENRY DOOLIN, Milan. Let me pay tribute to format, organization, scholarly quality, and remark­ able coverage in the Review.—RALPH ALAN MCCANSE, author, Madison, Wis. If people would realize that the magazines to which they subscribe exert an influence upon their family, especially growing boys and girls, they would subscribe for the magazine of their State Historical Society.—MRS. ROBERT L. MOTLEY, Bowling Green. I enjoy the magazine very much and it is certainly good reading. One finds material there that cannot be found anywhere else.—JOHN C. MCGUIRE, St. Louis. I have before me your handsome magazine, the Missouri Historical Review, containing your article on the Cherokee Trail of Tears across Missouri, with the very thoughtful account of the dedication of Cherokee Park, commemorating the crossing of your state by the Cherokee Indian emigrants. I am delighted with the thoughtfulness of your people in celebrating this event.—GRANT FOREMAN author, Muskogee, Okla. The Review is incredibly well edited and printed.—s. w. GEISER, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Tex. Most historical societies are helpful but I've never heard from one that went to as much effort as the State Historical Society of Missouri. My thanks are delayed but so very sincere and enthusiastic over your organization.— RODNEY WHITELAW JUENEMAN, Cape Girardeau. Contents Page AMUSEMENTS AND ENTERTAINMENTS IN EARLY MISSOURI.

    The 52nd Annual Missouri Conference on History Capitol Plaza Hotel, Jefferson City April 14-16, 2010 Hosted by: The Missouri State Archives & The Missouri Museums Association Welcome to the 52nd Annual Missouri Conference on History! I am delighted to welcome the Missouri Conference on History back to Jefferson City and the Capitol Plaza Hotel. The Missouri State Archives, the State Historical Society of Missouri, the Missouri Conference on History Steering Committee, and the Missouri Museums Association are pleased to provide the diverse sessions seen in this program. The Missouri Museums Association’s sponsorship of a fourth track of sessions and opening reception this year continues to build on the public history elements that have always been a part of this conference. As an archivist, seeing papers and entire sessions drawn from the records of your institution and those of other records repositories is always gratifying. It is always fulfilling to see records that you have helped preserve and make available used in creative and scholarly ways. Just as the sessions will teach us more about our past, this year’s keynote address will provide new insight into the turbulent elements that ensured Missouri’s memory of the Civil War would be anything but conciliatory. This theme also will be illustrated in Divided Loyalties: Civil War Documents from the Missouri State Archives, an exhibit created by the Archives, that will open at the conference and then tour the state during the war’s sesquicentennial. I thank everyone for their continuing support of the conference and hope that it will be beneficial to all.

FLUKER August 2015 Copyright Amy L. Fluker 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This project argues that Missouri’s singular position as a border state not only between the North and South, but also between the East and West shaped the state’s Civil War experience as well as its memory of the conflict. During the Civil War, Missouri was a slaveholding border state on the western frontier and home to a diverse and divided population. Neither wholly Union nor Confederate, Missouri’s Civil War was bitterly divisive. In its aftermath, Missourians struggled to come to terms with what it had been about.

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.
