  • Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri

    Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri

    Guide to Oral History Collections in Missouri. Compiled and Edited by David E. Richards Special Collections & Archives Department Duane G. Meyer Library Missouri State University Springfield, Missouri Last updated: September 16, 2012 This guide was made possible through a grant from the Richard S. Brownlee Fund from the State Historical Society of Missouri and support from Missouri State University. Introduction Missouri has a wealth of oral history recordings that document the rich and diverse population of the state. Beginning around 1976, libraries, archives, individual researchers, and local historical societies initiated oral history projects and began recording interviews on audio cassettes. The efforts continued into the 1980s. By 2000, digital recorders began replacing audio cassettes and collections continued to grow where staff, time, and funding permitted. As with other states, oral history projects were easily started, but transcription and indexing efforts generally lagged behind. Hundreds of recordings existed for dozens of discreet projects, but access to the recordings was lacking or insufficient. Larger institutions had the means to transcribe, index, and catalog their oral history materials, but smaller operations sometimes had limited access to their holdings. Access was mixed, and still is. This guide attempts to aggregate nearly all oral history holdings within the state and provide at least basic, minimal access to holdings from the largest academic repository to the smallest county historical society. The effort to provide a guide to the oral history collections of Missouri started in 2002 with a Brownlee Fund Grant from the State Historical Society of Missouri. That initial grant provided the seed money to create and send out a mail-in survey.

    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.

This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

  • The History of Hunting in St. Charles County Confluence of Missouri and Mississippi Rivers

    The History of Hunting in St. Charles County Confluence of Missouri and Mississippi Rivers

    The History of Hunting in St. Charles County Confluence of Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Note the color difference between the rivers. Located at the juncture of three major rivers, St. Charles County has long been a “hunting ground” for all who have called the area home The ecology of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers varied because of the nature of each river. The Missouri River’s average gradient of one foot per mile enables it to move more sediment. Because it drains a loess-mantled region, it carries high suspensions of loess materials, giving the river its famous muddy color. In its natural state, the Missouri River channel was broad and shallow, with numerous islands and sandbars. Before the 20th century, it was approximately twice its present width, occupying thirty to fifty percent of the width of its floodplain. The Missouri River bottoms had natural lakes or perennial wetlands in St. Charles County, including Marais Croche and Marais Temps Claire. Amos Stoddard reported in 1804 that the extensive bottoms of the Missouri River “are generally covered with wood, and are seldom inundated.” 1 Describing the Mississippi River floodplain, Rev. Timothy Flint observed, “Between such magnificent outlines, from the foot of the Mamelles, the prairie, in ascending to the north, has a width of five miles, and is seventy miles in length…Two fine islands of woodland, of a circular form, diversify the view.” 2 Its floodplain was wetter than that of the Missouri and a much better habitat for wildlife, causing Flint to record, A Sioux Chief visiting St. Charles County.

    Seniors to State Parks’

    For Immediate Release Missouri Parks Associations Announces 6th Year of Support for ‘Seniors to State Parks’ (Kansas City, Missouri, February 15, 2020) The Missouri Parks Association (MPA) is pleased to announce its 6th year of support for ‘Seniors to State Parks’. In partnership with the Missouri State Parks system, this innovative program provides seniors the opportunity to visit Missouri’s state parks and historical sites. Made possible by an endowment from the Ben and Bettie Breeding family, ‘Seniors to State Parks,’ launched in 2015, will have served almost 4,000 seniors by the end of 2020. MPA’s sponsorship has allowed seniors and persons with disability to participate in outdoor adventures such as to seeing the fall colors along the Missouri River at Weston Bend State Park, making Dutch apple cobbler and fresh squeezed lemonade while exploring the history at the First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site, and a five-mile canoe trip down the Meramec River. Plans to expand to new areas and programs in 2020 promises a broader reach with a greater diversity of experiences. “The endowment from Ben and Betty Breeding has allowed MPA to expand its mission of providing educational awareness of our park system. Missouri State Parks provide an ideal environment for older adults to socialize with others, stay active, and have fun! The collaboration with Missouri State Parks has benefited older adults throughout the state and MPA is thrilled to be able to fund the program again this year,” said Terry Whaley, MPA President. “The Seniors to Park Program allows senior citizens, and those who might not otherwise get to experience the recreation and interpretation of a state park or state historic site, the opportunity to spend a day exploring or learning about Missouri resources and history,” said Rebecca Young, recreation section chief and program coordinator.
