  • 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.

    Page 1 of 82 PUBLISHED MONTHLY IN THE INTEREST OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS AND KINDRED TOPICS November 1909 Entered at the post office at Nashville, Tenn., as second class matter. Contributors are requested to use only one side of the paper, and to abbreviate as much as practicable. These suggestions are important. Where clippings are sent copy should be kept, as the VETERAN cannot undertake to return them. Advertising rates furnished on application. The date to a subscription is always given to the month before it ends. For Instance, if the VETERAN is ordered to begin with January, the date on mail list will be December, and the subscriber is entitled to that number. The civil war was too long ago to be called the late war, and when correspondents use that term “ War between the States” will be substituted. The terms “New South" and “ lost cause” are objectionable to the VETERAN. OFFICIALLY REPRESENTS : UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS, UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY, SONS OF VETERANS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, CONFEDERATED SOUTHERN MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION. The VETERAN is approved and indorsed officially by a larger and more elevated patronage, doubtless, than any other publication in existence. Though men deserve they may not win success, The brave will honor the brave, vanquished none the less. PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR. [ SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS.] VOL. XVII. NASHVILLE, TENN., NOVEMBER, 1909.

SHOEMAKER, Editor > Subscription Price $1.00 a Year The Missouri Historical Review is a quarterly magazine de­ voted to Missouri history, genealogy and literature. It is now being sent to a thousand members of the Society. The subscrip­ tion price is one dollar a year. Each number of the Review contains several articles on Mis­ souri and Missourians. These articles are the result of research work in Missouri history. They treat of subjects that lovers of Missouri are interested in. They are full of new information and are not hackneyed or trite. The style of presentation is as popular as is permissible in a publication of this character. In addition to the monographs, the Review contains a list of books recently published by Missourians or on Missouri, and a list of Missouri historical articles that have appeared in the news­ papers of the State. The last is an aid to teachers, editors and writers, and will become even more valuable with age. Departing from the custom adopted by most historical socie­ ties, this journal contains reviews of only those books and articles that relate to Missouri.
