"History of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade," by Ephraim Anderson. Originally published in 1868. There were less then 100 printings made of the first print because the publisher, Times Printing Co. of St. Louis, caught on fire and was put out of business. This book was reprinted in 1988 with a foreword by Edwin Bearss and costs around $40.00. Anderson served in the 6th MO State Guard Regiment, and then enlisted into the 2d Missouri Confederate Regiment. He fought at Lexington, MO, and Pea Ridge, Corinth, Iuka, Tallahatchie, Yalobusha, and was wounded and captured at Vicksburg. (Thanks to Joe at joehc@swbell.net for submitting this information me).

"History of the Missouri National Guard." Originally published in 1934 by the Military Council, Missouri National Guard, it is hard to find, but has a good source of unit histories. It is broken down into the different unit histories of the National Guard units of the day, such as the 138th & 140th Infantry, 110th Eng., 128th & 129th Art, 203d Coast Art, and the 35th Div HQ, Tank Co, and Aviation Co. While a good chuck of the unit's history is WWI and the inter-war years, it does include alot of information about the units including when the units were raised in Missouri (like Batt. A, 128th Art. was created in 1812), who were commanding officers, war honors for the Mexican-American War, the Civil War, and the Spanish-American War, State call-ups (like the great Pullman Strike of 1877), and units that were consolidated. Also included is the history of the 139th Infantry which was a consolidation of the 4th Missouri and the 3d Kansas in 1917, and the following Pre-WWI units: 5th Missouri, The Joplin Rifles, The Sedalia Rifles, and The St. Louis Cavalry (St. Louis Light Guard.)

3rd Missouri U.S.A. Volunteer (German) Infantry Website
Fifth Missouri Infantry, "Westerners in Gray: The Men and Missions of the Elite Fifth Missouri Infantry Regiment," by Phillip Thomas Tucker. One or more recent modern volumes have been written on virtually every major and minor campaign and battles in the Western Theater. What is really needed now are some solid studies on smaller units, of which this is just that. The 5th Missouri served in the Battles of Iuka and Corinth, both largely ignored by historians, and the Vicksburg Campaign, which remains the most underwritten action of significance in the war. In addition, this book does not fall into the trap of most unit history books that of subject focus. A book on a particular unit must be told from the perspective of that outfit, and not from the vantagepoint of corps and army headquarters. At the same time, the author doesn't get bogged down in endless names and minutiae that do nothing to advance the narrative. In short, Tucker knows how to write. The story of the 5th Missouri essentially stops with the capture of Vicksburg. The regiment was exchanged, consolidated, and served throughout the Atlanta Campaign and the balance of the war. The post-Vicksburg service, however, is covered in 4 pages. This reviewer wishes that a map or two, showing the regiment's position at, say, Champion Hill, had been included. That aside, this book is highly recommended. Tucker has added another excellent volume to an already impressive list. (Reviewed by Larry J. Daniel, author of Soldiering in the Army of Tennessee. This unit was comprised of Irish Confederates from St. Louis and rural pro-Southern Missourians who were considered one of the best infantry regiments in the Western Theater of War. This unit, comprised of tough young men in their 20's never fought in Missouri, but carried out "shock" missions throughout the region. 1992 issue, Library binding, 341 pages, costs $36.00.

Published in 1999 by the Camp Pope Bookshop, Iowa City, Iowa. Soft-cover, 431 pages. $20.00, plus shipping. "Includes an annotated roster. Capt Pinnell's letters from July 30, 1862 through June 21, 1865. A detailed account of soldier life in the Trans-Mississippi that is as good as it gets. While the diary does not spend too much time on battles, it covers just about every aspect of soldiering, including uniforms, arms, rations, pay, etc." thanks to Jim McGhee for submitting this info. to me on this book for use on my website. Thanks again, Jim.

24th Missouri, "The Twenty-fourth Missouri Volunteer Infantry, the "Lyon Legion," by J. Randall Houp. Lewis Langn at LewisLangn@aol.com sent me the following info. on the above book. "A friend recently published a regimental history and genealogy of the men of the 24th Missouri. He follows the unit on a daily basis throughout the war, including following the activities of detached units. The last half of the book is devoted to genealogical information about each man in the unit. The book is priced at $100.00, and can be ordered by writing to J. Randall Houp, P.O. Box 608, Alma Ark. 72921. (The owner of this website makes no comment on this book without a personal review).

31st Missouri, "Civil War History of 31st Missouri Volunteer Infantry Regiment," by Clarence M. Carroll & Robert E. Parkin. Originally published in 1991 by the Genealogical Research & Publications, St. Louis, Missouri, this is a 66 page paperback booklet, with some maps, illustrations, and an officer roster.

31st Missouri, "Rain, Mud & Swamps, The Civil War History of the 31st Missouri Volunteer Infantry Regiment," by Gary L. Scheel. Per the author, "It is a hardback book, 703 pages, 20 photos, 20 maps and a complete roster of every man in the regiment that I could find. It includes diaries of men who were in the 31st Missouri and men in the 32nd Missouri Infantry. These two regiments were consolidated in November 1864. It also has quotes from books that the men had written but never published. It also quotes the 1864 diary of its Division Commander. They were in the 15th Army Corps and served under General William T. Sherman throughout the war." I charge $20 plus $3 shipping. It can be ordered from Gary L. Scheel, P.O. Box 312, Pacific, Missouri 63069. "Private Fielding Jenkins Smith (1840-1925) was typical of the young Ozark men that fought with the 31st Missouri Volunteers. He endured three years of numbing hardship but survived and lived out his remaining years as a farmer near his hometown of Bland, Missouri. The author is the great-great-grandson of Fielding Smith. This book is immensely thick with information on this Missouri regiment. Hard-back edition costing only $ 23.00 is truly a bargain in this day and age. At times, the book can be hard to follow; perhaps because of all the information in the book; the book has a 38 page bibliography as well as a 51 page roster. All that is lacking is an index that would have served this regimental history quite well. None-the-less, it is a book worth adding to any Civil War Collector's Library. I recommend the purchase of this book." (Reviewed by Ronald A. Mosocco, the owner of this website).
