More than 700 Civil War equines are identified and described with incidental information and identification of their masters.

Book excerpt: In Bloody Ozarks, G.W. Johnson digs down to the roots of Arkansas history and unearths a journal of heartrending images and tales of pioneer families who settled the land and spent the Civil War defending it. The Johnsons, Sizemores, Casselmans, and McChristians—all Union sympathizers—dominate the book's landscape, but the author also keeps a watchful eye on the bloody conflict's global aspects, reminding the reader that both sides met their share of suffering and sacrifice for causes they each believed in. Johnson blends family histories, both oral and written, with documented histories of soldiers, commanders, and the cities and towns that hosted hospitals, battles, and internal disagreements. With neighbor against neighbor and brother against brother, the Ozarks region was one of the most divided in the country. By 1863, law and order had vanished, while bands of Confederate bushwhackers inflicted misery upon the Union loyalists. By the war's end, two-thirds of Washington County, Arkansas, had been murdered, starved to death, or had fled the armies and the violent guerillas. These are real stories that, paired with photos of soldiers, battlefields, gravestones, and other landmarks, bring the tragedy and suffering of the Bloody Ozarks close to home in a way that is both profound and compelling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep in the Ozarks of Southeast Missouri a battle still raises about a massacre committed on Christmas Day, 1863 in Ripley County, Missouri by members of the 3'rd Missouri State Militia Cavalry led by Major James Wilson. While naysayers state that the "massacre" was nothing more than a rescue mission to free Union troops captured days before by Colonel Timothy Reeves and his 15th Missouri Cavalry, CSA, local historical documents, newspaper articles and military records prove bias on their part, painting a picture of a government cover up and the needless slaughter of men, women and children along with Confederate soldiers on the holiest day of the year. In this Expanded Second Edition the reader will find more photos, newspaper archives and other sources of information that paints a clearer picture of this tragedy.

Book excerpt: The Civil War resulted from the insistence of Southern "firebrands" that the 1820 restrictions on where slavery could be practiced in the Western territories of the USA be removed. and the dogged determination of some Northerners to restrict the brutal treatment of blacks and finally put slavery on the road to extinction. In the 1850's big shoes dropped one after another in staccato fashion to dash such hopes. the final straws were the Dred Scott Decision in 1857 saying blacks weren't even people and Congress had no power to restrict slavery anywhere ! and Civil War was going on in "bleeding Kansas" between adherents of the two stances. John Brown was radicalized there by the sacking of Abolitionist stronghold Lawrence. He and his sons killed some Jayhawkers (slavery adherents) from Missouri. Then Brown, his sons, and a few others, lit a fuse in Oct 1859 by a hare brained scheme to seize the Federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry to arm slaves and precipitate action to free them. So when Lincoln was elected in 1860--the South bolted! As they had threatened for 15 years. America was almost destroyed. Until July 4, 1863 when two Union victories insured: "that these honored dead (800,000) shall not have died in vain" Abraham Lincoln Gettysburg, Pa Nov. 1863.
