Book Description

William Nash Moore was born near Cote San Dessein in 1831 and lived all his life in the area. He was seventy-two years old in 1903 when Earle Hodges, editor of the Mokane Herald-Post, asked him to write down his memories of the people and places of South Callaway. His articles were published in every issue of the weekly newspaper for several months. More was writing from memory and may have never seen some of these names in print. He spelled names the way he thought they should be. He was a man with strong opinions and didn't hestitate[sic] to say what he thought of his neighbors. Readers may not always agree, but we can all be grateful for this rare record of early Callaway County.

Book Description

During the Civil War, only Virginia and Tennessee saw more action than Missouri. Ulysses S. Grant first proved his ability there. Sterling Price, a former governor of Missouri, sided with the Confederacy, raised an army and led it in battle all over the state. Notorious guerrilla warriors "Bloody" Bill Anderson and William Quantrill terrorized communities and confounded Union military commanders. Brian Warren and Joseph "Whit" McCoskrie provide a chronological overview of more than three hundred of the documented engagements that took place within Missouri's borders, furnishing photos, maps, biographical sketches and military tactics.
