I never tire of any effort to honor the Texas troops- from Gaines Mill to Afghanistan.
But fully support those needed and deserved Missouri narratives and citizen soldiers. Many thanks for your ongoing commitment to keep the past closer to the present. Like your style :)
Excellent stuff
Thank you.
Don’t forget about Guibor and Bledsoes Batteries being of Missouri
Is there a worthwhile book that chronicles Cockrell's Brigade?
Gottschalk’s In Deadly Earnest is a very good place to start!
There's several actually including one by one of the former officers.
Johnson county had 12.9% slave population, the neigbor counties had LaFayette 31.7% slaves, Pettis 20.9% slaves, Henry 12.6% slaves, the two Kansas border counties Jackson had 17.2% slaves and Cass had 10.9% slaves. Cockrell and his soldiers arrived from the massive proconfederate Missouri area from the higher slave populated Little Dixie area. Moreover the Kansas Missouri border area was a special local site for the Kansas West Missouri conflict FROM 1854 (Bleeding Kansas) TO 1865 (Civil War) for almost 9 years! In the Little Dixie the prounionism was a minority opinion and the non stop Kansas Missouri local border war strengthened the provonfederate majority opinion here.
Missouri became from a slavery system supporter majority state which state population chased away Eliya P. Lovejoy to the that time proslavery majority supporter Illinois to kill him about 1830 to a unionist majority opinion state. The European and the Northern origin new settlers and the low % slaves populated areas with Missouri local people together changed Missouri for prounionist majority state for 1860. The only slave holding state was Missouy where Abraham Lincoln won 2 counties (St Louis and Gasconade) in 1860, Hancock county was almost won in Virginia (West Virginia) by Lincoln only some votes was missing for Lincon.
44th Missouri soldiers arrived from the low % slaves populated Iowa border strip counties (North to the Little Dixie) for example Gentry as Mercer 0.3% slaves, Sullivan 1.1% slaves, Putnam 0.3% slaves, Grundy 3.6% slaves, Harrison 0.2% slaves or Gentry 1.0% slaves. Here the local Missouri people were prounists and not the new settlers!
Triple H is the wrestler. Not Triple X. That's a terrible movie with Vin Diesel. 😅
Triple H is sorta like wrestling XXX.
