  • Photographic History of Missouri in the Civil War

    All,

    The latest volume in the excellent "Portraits of Conflict" series from University of Arkansas Press has been released: A Photographic History of Missouri in the Civil War by Drs. William Garrett Piston and Thomas P. Sweeney. It's 348 pages of Federal, Confederate, State Guard, and civilian images, many never before published, and should prove a valuable resource to those wanting photographic documentation of combatants in the Trans-Mississippi.

    If anyone is unfamiliar with the series, "Portraits of Conflict" has been covering the photographic history of the Civil War throughout the Southern states and links photographs with historic context, providing readers with the backstory of the image.

    Dr. Piston is the author of Lee's Tarnished Lieutenant: James Longstreet and his Place in Southern History and co-author of Wilson's Creek: The Second Battle of the Civil War and the Men Who Fought It. Dr. Sweeney is an avid Civil War collector and, until recently, owned what was probably the largest collection of Trans-Mississippi artifacts and photographs. His collection and museum is now part of Wilson's Creek National Battlefield.

    I'm sure interested parties could get more information from the U of A Press or Amazon websites.

    V/R,
    Kip

    Kip,

    This is great news! I will be looking for a couple of images that are, to my knowledge, not very well known.
