Awesome. There needs to be more articles like this to raise the awareness that a significant amount of events, many equally if not more critical than those in the east, took place in the Trans-Mississippi.I obviously have some bias towards Missouri & Kansas, but I think it is neglect for a Civil War historian or student to overlook this portion of the war. A detailed look at the events in the 1850's in this area gives a excellent foundation of WHY the war was fought. A detailed look at the events during the war in this area gives a excellent foundation of HOW the war was fought.A detailed look at the events after the war in this area gives a excellent foundation of the RESULTS of the war.Excellent piece.
Thank you. I enjoyed writing it as much as I enjoyed learning about the Trans-Mississippi Department. I'm a Civil War buff, but it's not my area of expertise. This was a rare chance to write on the subject. This paper fulfilled my Historiography requirement at the University of Louisville.
I posted a link on my Facebook page dedicated to the Civil War in Missouri, Kansas & Arkansas as well as only profile so the rest of my Civil War contacts on there have a link to it…
