Lorie, I don't know a lot about the area of central northern Missouri, around Unionville. Joe Porter's Partisan Rangers (Confederate) were active in northeast Missouri, and groups like Quantrill (Confederate) were active along the northwest side of the state. Porter fought a battle in Kirksville, which looks to be about 30 to 40 miles east of Unionville. Merrill (Union) had his headquarters down in Macon City. Slaves were mostly in farms along the Missouri River, giving access to transportation for things like hemp and tobacco. The opening battles of the Ozark Civil War took place along the Missouri, from St Louis over to near Kansas City.

Kirby and List, You have sparked my interest. As I am the Great Grandson of George Thomas Scholl. I am so excited by Donald Gilmore''s book, """War on the Missouri/Kansas Border""". I am in my fifties and lived long enough to know what my Grandfather had to say about his Father. My Grandfather had enough credibility by his own rights, and had the opportunity to attend three Quantrill Reunions with his father. Donald Gilmores accounting in his book is about time reported. You will find this book a bit different from what you have been taught, but all backed up with fact, much overlooked for years. I think he will set the record correct and he has. This is a not to be missed reading. Claiborne Scholl Nappier

Claiborne-- Glad to hear he sources his book. I look forward to taking a look at it.

Kirby, Mr. Gilmore was an Editor for the Army and has an extensive history and background. He also served as a Technical Director for the movie ""Ride With The Devil"". He has footnotes and supplied sources for all his information provided in the book. I think Donald Gilmore crossed all his T"s and dotted all his I's. Quiet an accomplishment in my opinion for someone to be able to wade through so much mis information the past 140 years. I believe you will be impressed with his footnotes and bonified resourses supplied in this book'. Claiborne Scholl Nappier

Mr. Nappier, you seem to be very familiar with Mr. Gilmore's book. Does this book provide footnotes and source citations?

Hey List, In reference to the availability of Donald Gilmores book, ""War on the Missouri/Kansas Border"", it should be available at present by Barnes and Knoble for one. The publisher, Pelican Publishing is located in New Orleans and the release of this great book was delayed from October until just now. I again highly recommend the reading of the well researched book. In my opinion this is one of the most thought out and researched books on the subject almost since the occurrence of many of the actions discussed in the book. You will be delighted to see some photos included in the book, which have never before been published. They are absolutely amazing and reflect the length the Author went to..being sure all was told authentic and displayed authentic. I highly recommend it and applaud Mr. Gilmores great efforts to report on a long over looked and often mis reported topic. Good Reading, Claiborne Scholl Nappier

There are 48 on record noted as ' Colored Troops ". These are USCT`s who were with several regiments that were not State regiments ( i.e. ) 17th Ohio. These were part of the 8th, 12th,17th, 18th, 31st, 35th, 44th, 45th, 137th US Colored troops and one from the 1st North Carolina Colored Infantry who was actually a Major in Rank. Confederates refused to recognize him as an officer and was deliberately sent to Andersonville. Remained there through most of 1864. Remained with his men who were retained at Andersonville There are also 54 on record from the 54th Massachuetts ( from the movie GLORY fame ) also held here. I believe 29 of these are buried in the cemetery under markers that show USCT. Oddly enough , the survival rate of USCT`s were higher than their white counterparts. One reason was that they often were used in the burial details which allowed extra rations, fresh air, exercise, as well as fresh water and air. Columbia stockade shows 6 USCT. Millen ( Camp Lawton )stockade shows 2 Cahaba shows 2 Charleston shows none recorded. Macon ( camp Oglethorpe ) shows 19 Great question. I hadn`t researched the numbers at the other stockades before tonight.

My g grandfather, Henry Peters, served in Co. C 2nd MO Volunteer Infantry (3 Mo.) and in Co. E 2nd USRC MO Volunteer Infantry (3 Year). The second unit was mustered out in Sept. 1862 after only one year of service. They were stationed near Corinth, MS till the middle of August 1862, when they were suddenly sent back to St. Louis and almost immediately mustered out. The three year branch of the 2nd Regiment MO Volunteers (his first unit) continued to serve near Corinth. Has anyone found a reason for his second unit being mustered out so early? Jerry

I also very much enjoyed your family's story! There is so much to be learned in the stories handed down to us! Thanks, Lorie

Extremely interesting, thanks for sharing. I read these posts from time to time and might of missed previous listings of the Shumates. I love the way you tell a story! Puts it right back in that time and frame of mind. If you care to share more I would be obliged to read. Off this current topic, I have a tin -type that I was told is a Confederate soldier killed at Mingo Swamp but have not been able to identify him. I have posted his picture to the Bollinger County Historical site hoping to find answers. Brought his tin-type with me to Missouri in July, no answers. Wish I knew who he was. Kimberly
