Civil War Regiments from Missouri provides accounts of the various infantry, cavalry, and artillery regiments and batteries which served the Union cause during the Civil War from the Show Me state. Each entry provides the names of the senior officers for each organization; when and where each was mustered in and mustered out of U. S. service; battles in which each unit participated; and, in some instances, the total casualties suffered by each regiment or battery during the war. The author, Leo Rassieur, served in the 30th Missouri Infantry, Ordnance Officer for General Henry W. Slocum, Judge-Advocate in Elias Smith Dennis' division, and commander of Fort Tracy, Alabama, at the end of the war. Four Missouri regiments are on William F.

This is an accounting of the experiences of the soldiers of Hardcastle's 3rd Battalion Mississippi Infantry from enlistment to the end of the war. It includes their mid-war incarnation as the 45th Mississippi Regiment and the role they played in Cleburne's fabled division during almost every major engagement of the Army of Tennessee. Told as much as possible from the point of view of the soldier, the book shows what motivated the original volunteers to join and continue fighting to the end.

Notorious guerrilla warriors “Bloody” Bill Anderson and William Quantrill terrorized communities and confounded Union military commanders.

During or after the Civil War, no official history was ever written on this Missouri Union Cavalry Regiment. This book hopefully will accomplish this. While the Regimental records now lay at the bottom of the Mississippi River near Greenville, Mississippi when the Steamer B.M. Runyan hit a snag in the river and sank in the summer of 1864, the records have now been reconstructed for the first time along with Rosters. This book is based upon three separate partial histories which were incomplete individually, but have been conveniantly consolidated into a consistant timeline, for the benefit of the men who served in the Regiment as well as future researchers. From early events through the end of the war, the book also gives a brief history of the Civil War in Missouri.
