Reader Reviews
I found this work to be quite informative, well researched and well written. The author's detailed accounts and quotations from original resources is quite refreshing. This aspect of the Civil War is often misunderstood in that the majority of what we know has been passed down to us from the "victors" point of view. In fact, these were very, very hard times and a good case can be made that there were indeed no real winners in this not so isolated, but under reported, part of the war. Horrible, barbaric actions were consummated by both sides of this conflict. If we attempt to place ourselves at that time and place in history, we can well see where both sides had their grievances, and both sides were able to justify their atrocities. This work simple gives more emphasis to one side than the other. To state the author is somehow trying to make an apology or to justify slavery in any way, is being rather naive. Things were what they were, right or wrong, and should be examined as such. Simply put, there were good guys and bad guys on both sides. In this I feel the author has done a very good job. I do feel there has been a dearth of research and work done in presenting the "Missourian" side of the story and do feel this author's work has done much to fill in this gap. After careful reading, I cannot classify this as revisionist history, it is quite too well researched for that, but rather a different slant. A student of these times really should give this work a try and draw their own conclusions. I highly recommend.
