The War for Missouri Wayne Klinckhardt

"A conversational look at the Civil War as it occurred in Missouri.
After years of border warfare with Kansas, all Missouri wanted was to
be left alone.
While the states in the east were choosing sides for a fight that would
become more than they bargained for, Missouri wanted to remain neutral.
When the call came from Washington for Missouri to provide 10,000
volunteers to man Mr. Lincoln?s war against the south, due to her southern
roots Missouri refused.
When the U. S. invaded Missouri she no longer had a choice, she had
to defend herself."
