POSTMASTERS: Send address changes to MISSOURI HISTORICAL REVIEW, 1020 Lowry Street, Columbia, MO 65201-7298. Copyright © 2000 by The State Historical Society of Missouri COVER DESCRIPTION: Many U.S. government agencies produced posters during World War II, encour­ aging American citizens to support the war effort. A form of propaganda, the posters touched on many facets of wartime life—enlisting in the armed services, using resources sparingly, contributing to scrap drives, and purchasing war bonds, among others. Images such as national monuments, his­ torical heroes, and the flag pointed out "the uniqueness of the country's institutions and its great tra­ dition of freedom and democracy." The U.S. Treasury Department published the poster on the front cover, created by an anonymous artist, in 1944. The final part of "Show Me Missouri History: Celebrating the Century," by Linda Brown-Kubisch and Christine Montgomery, beginning on page 434, opens with the onset of the war. [Cover illustration in the State Historical Society of Missouri's art collection] EDITORIAL POLICY The editors of the Missouri Historical Review welcome submission of articles and documents relating to the history of Missouri. Any aspect of Missouri history will be con­ sidered for publication in the Review. Genealogical studies, however, are not accepted because of limited appeal to general readers. Manuscripts pertaining to all fields of American history will be considered if the subject matter has significant relevance to the history of Missouri or the West. Authors should submit two double-spaced copies of their manuscripts. The footnotes, prepared according to The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th ed., also should be double-spaced and placed at the end of the text. Authors may submit manuscripts on disk, preferably in Microsoft Word. Two hard copies still are required. Originality of subject, general interest of the article, sources used, interpretation, and style are criteria for acceptance and publica­ tion. Manuscripts, exclusive of footnotes, should not exceed 7,500 words. Articles that are accepted for publication become the property of the State Historical Society of Missouri and may not be published elsewhere without permission. The Society does not accept responsi­ bility for statements of fact or opinion made by the authors. Articles published in the Missouri Historical Review are abstracted and indexed in Historical Abstracts, America: History and Life, Recently Published Articles, Writings on American History, The Western Historical Quarterly, and The Journal of American History. Manuscript submissions should be addressed to Dr. James W. Goodrich, Editor, Missouri Historical Review, State Historical Society of Missouri, 1020 Lowry Street, Columbia, MO 65201-7298.

STRICKLAND University of Missouri-Columbia STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MISSOURI ANNUAL MEETING WORKSHOPS In conjunction with the 2000 annual meeting on Saturday, October 21, the State Historical Society will offer two workshops to Society members and the public. The Ten Most Endangered Historic Places in Missouri Debbie Sheals, president of the Missouri Alliance for Historic Preservation, will present a slide show about the Alliance's recently released list of the ten most endangered historic places in the state. Modeled after the successful National Trust for Historic Preservation program, the list is designed to highlight threatened historic resources in Missouri and to facili­ tate local preservation efforts. The list includes a diversity of resources found throughout the state, including houses, schools, city halls, and open spaces. Sheals will provide information about the history of the resources, the threats they face, and what has been done to save them. Writing Local History From Public Records Gary Kremer, professor of history at William Woods University, Fulton, will introduce participants to a wide variety of public records available to writers of local history. Although most local historians are familiar with sources such as newspapers, census records, property deeds, and probate files, Kremer's presentation will emphasize reports published by state agen­ cies such as the Department of Transportation, the Department of Agriculture, the Corporations Division, and others. He will describe the information available in these reports and how it can be used in conjunction with more traditional sources in writing local history. The workshops will be held from 9:00 to 10:30 A.M. in the Donald W. Reynolds Alumni and Visitor Center on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus. The registration for each workshop is $10.00, and due to space con­ straints, enrollment will be limited. Membership in the Society is not required. To reserve a place in a workshop send a check made payable to the State Historical Society of Missouri and choice of workshop to: Workshops 2000 The State Historical Society of Missouri 1020 Lowry Street Columbia, MO 65201-7298 Join the State Historical Society to help preserve Missouri's heritage.

It was a battle in which were included half a dozen bloody smaller battles, it was a battle where con- ditions were such that there was almost the closeness of conflicts in medieval times, and where regiments and brigades of raw recruits showed in desperate struggle with each other what American courage is.

THE LEGISLATURE OF 1861. On the last day of December, 1860, the twenty-first General Assem- bly of Missouri met at Jefferson City. The retiring Governor, " Bob " M. Stewart, delivered a very conservative message, taking the middle ground between secession and abolitionism, and pleading strenuously for peace and moderation. He declared, among other things, that the people of Missouri " ought not to be frightened from their propriety by the past unfriendly legislation of the North, nor dragooned into secession by the restrictive legislation of the extreme South." He concluded with a thrilling appeal for the maintenance of the Union, depicting the inevitable result of secession, revolution and war. Many of Governor Stewart's predictions were afterward fulfilled with start- ling and fearful exactness. The inaugural of the new Governor,

  • December 1969
    • The phrase, "From the River to Rome," defines the geographical range apparent in the contents of this issue of the magazine. Initial focus is on St. Charles as the home of The Lindenwood Colleges, the historic city which celebrated this year the 2QOth anni­ versary of its founding. A photograph on the inside back cover, showing a January-term class studying art and my­ thology in Rome, dramatizes Lindenwood's reach from St. Charles to the campus of the world. Yet in addition to the geographical, the magazine empha­ sizes another dimension of Lindenwood: that of time. The front cover, combining a modernistic outdoor light at the New Fine Arts Building with a page from the 1828 diary of Lindenwood's co­ founder, George C. Sibley, symbolizes the historic past complement­ ing the dynamic present. How Lindenwood has built on tradition to spearhead programs in private education in the Sixties is evident from pages 2 through 48. Certain articles illmninating the old and the new, the near and the far should be of special interest. "The Possible Dream," beginning on page 7, is the most recent investigation of Lindenwood's history; "The Ghosts of Lin­ denwood" sheds light on some of the renowned dead in the campus cemetery. Companion stories, which almost shatter the generation gap, reveal the Now Generation's reaction to a 72-year-old student in the dormitory, while the lady in question proves that a senior citizen, like any other minority, can .Bnd happiness on this open campus. Then there is a photo essay capturing the exuberance that attended the opening of the New Fine Arts building.

During the 1980s, French sociologist Maurice Halbwachs and French social scientist Pierre Nora devcloped the concept of "collectivc memory," an idea that swept the academic world and seemed particularly apt for Texas. Gregg Cantrell and Elizabeth Hayes Turner brought together eleven eminent and entertaining authors to produce collective memories that often challenge factual histories. The articles point out that historians are often ignored by the Texas pub­ lic who shaped their own version of their pasts. Articles focus on battles fought by the Daughters of the Republic ofTexas over who would restore the Alamo, the United Daughters of the Confederacy in their attempts to commemorate Confederate heroes, and the attempts by the Ku Klux Klan to Ameril:anize their message in the 1920s.

The 2000 presidential election revealed glaring improprieties in the methods available to Americans for choosing their leaders., With attention focused on Florida's confusing ballot, the variety of standards used to count "hanging chads," and claims of disenfranchisement, the presidential election's irregularities overshadowed other election problems entirely Before the tumultuous contest to determine the winners of the electoral college vote even began, however, the death of United States Senate candidate and Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan3 raised the question of whether a deceased person could be elected to the Senate.4 For some observers, concerns mounted when the newly elevated Governor' announced that he would appoint Carnahan's widow, Jean 1.
