The author traces his Campbell ancestors through at least seven generations to Perth in central Scotland. Details on children and grandchildren are included when known. The author also includes interesting facts about the times and places where they lived as well as weaving their life stories into local history when he believes it will add value. Details on living persons is limited or excluded. Much of the information was passed down within the author's family and is based on original sources that have not been made available in published works other than the author's earlier publication ""Cottrell-Brashear Family Linage"" which contained some Campbell history. The author includes copies of family documents as well as family photographs. Sources are extensively documented as footnotes at the bottom of each page. Timeline and ancestor charts are also provided. An ""all name"" index lists page numbers for each individual.

During the Civil War, only Virginia and Tennessee saw more action than Missouri. Ulysses S. Grant first proved his ability there. Sterling Price, a former governor of Missouri, sided with the Confederacy, raised an army and led it in battle all over the state. Notorious guerrilla warriors "Bloody" Bill Anderson and William Quantrill terrorized communities and confounded Union military commanders. Brian Warren and Joseph "Whit" McCoskrie provide a chronological overview of more than three hundred of the documented engagements that took place within Missouri's borders, furnishing photos, maps, biographical sketches and military tactics.
