DESCRIPTION:

Although Missouri remained a part of the United States during the American Civil War, many military units formed within the state fought for the southern cause. This list, originally published in the St. Louis Republic in the spring of 1895, reveals important information regarding many of these volunteers. Researchers will find the soldier's name, county of residence, location and/or cause of death, and death date. Containing over 1700 names, this collection can be useful in finding Missourian ancestors who died in the Civil War.
