Jayhawkers. A Civil War Cavalry Regiment And it’s Command
To actually judge the Civil War, both sides, nice and not so nice, must be
taken into account. Written by Stephen Starr, the Seventh Kansas Cavalry, in its
beginning, was one of those considered, as not so nice. They killed civilians
and prisoners, were indiscriminate in pillaging, all the while burned houses,
barns and did considerable in adding meaning to the word, "jayhawking"
during a turbulent time. Never-the-less, we recommend it for researchers. Many
little known facts are explored. Soft-cover, 405 pgs, indexed.$1.95

Johnson
County Missouri in the Civil War
By Bruce Nichols. Johnson County, located
in the west - central portion of Missouri, was the scene of continuous
guerrilla warfare during the Civil War. It's location, along the frontier
of western settlement near strife-torn Kansas, contributed to the
hostilities. It's population, holding mixed loyalties and differing
political views, was also a source of trouble. Most of the fighting was
guerrilla type warfare. This consisted of Confederate Partisan operations
against Union occupation troops and Federal countermeasures against the
guerrillas. The book details the four years of continual violence from
raids from Kansas, outlaw bands raiding, and the Union countermeasures in
the virtually lawless area. A good read! Indexed. 134 pages. $13.95

Little Gods: Union Provost Marshals in Missouri 1861-1865
By J. C. Eakin.

justly termed, "Little Gods" indeed.

The Life of General
Albert Sidney Johnston; His Services in the Armies of the United States and
the Republic of Texas, and the Confederate States
Written by Colonel William Preston Johnston. The book has long been a prime
source of basic firsthand information about the life and campaigns of this

Confederacy of the commander it needed at the helm to succeed. Especially
valuable resource material on his early life and career. Brings to life
Confederate operations in the West in 1861. Heavily outnumbered, faced with both
Grant and Sherman, he made a general retreat into a brilliant advance. Typical

Life of Albert Pike
By Walter Lee Brown.
Pike will remain a controversial figure, the same as he
has been for many years as a leader of the Indian forces within the
Trans-Mississippi. The whole story is still clouded over by mis-information and
politics of the time. Coming from humble background the man would in later life
be the driving force behind the Masonic movement. Good reference work.
