With Porter in North Missouri: A Chapter in the History of the War Between the States - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
To the Missouri Confederate this book is lovingly and gratefully dedicated. He braved incredible difficulties and dangers for the opportunity to enlist in the struggle for liberty. He did his duty in camp, on the march, in battle. He repined not at hunger, thirst and nakedness. He hated oppression, cruelty and cowardice. He gloried in the traditions of his State and his people. He never forgot that Missouri is the sweetest word ever uttered. He, in the rosy dawn of youth, threw in the balance life, friends, fortune, and everything that could make the future safe, comfortable and desirable; in the sober evening of his life, in plenty or in want, in sympathy or in obloquy, every heartbeat registers a new approval of the self-consecration made in the hour when wild enthusiasm fired his mind. He has kept the faith.

Paperback. Etat : New. New softcover in printed wraps. 8vo. (9x6x1 inches) Clean text free of marks or underlining. Includes appendices [5]. 504 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. This is the history of the First Northeast Missouri Cavalry, C. S. A., better known as Porter's Regiment, which rode wild and free through Yankee-controlled northeastern Missouri during the summer of 1862. The unit was organized and led by Colonel Joseph C. Porter of Lewis County, Missouri, who had been sent home from the war in Arkansas by General Sterling Price on a recruiting mission. Recruitment activities in this dangerous country included guerrilla-like strikes against the Federals, a few pitched battles (Vassar Hill, Moore's Mill, Kirksville), and the grim settling of certain personal feuds. With Porter in North Missouri, first published in 1909, was written by one of Porter's recruits and fervent admirers, who, like so many other young, pro-Southern men at the time, found civilian life impossible under Yankee martial law. Joseph Mudd supplemented his personal recollections of Porter's campaign with contemporaneous newspaper accounts, local histories, the recently published Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, and reports he solicited from surviving participants on both sides. The resulting narrative brings to life the Civil War in Missouri in a way few other books have done. N° de réf. du vendeur 203132
