My son-in-law is attending a class at Fort Lennardwood. He has asked me to check to see if I can find any information about John V. DuBois from 1st Missouri Artillery. They are selecting participants from the Battle at Wilson's Creek to study. He plans to do a report on him but information is elusive. If you could help me find it, I will be very appreciative.

You did not say whether the unit was Federal, Confederate or Missouri State Guard. A clue that it may be Confederate is that you refer to it as DuBois' Artillery. The Confederates referred to their units by the commander's name much more often than the Federals. Forces from both the Confederacy and the Missouri State Guard were allied and defeated the Federal forces at Wilson Creek (also known as Oak Hills). I can find no DuBois' Artillery listed for the Missouri State Guard. ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, January 19, 2003 5:58 AM Subject: [MO-CW] DuBois' Artillery My son-in-law is attending a class at Fort Lennardwood.
