From the UTICA DAILY OBSERVER Jan. 16, 1860
One of our citizens showed us yesterday a disunion cockade worn by the Missouri Minute Men. It is a small and neat rosette of blue ribbons, with a silver star in the center and three pieces of ribbon pending therefrom. The pendant ribbons are two blue and one white. They are about 4 inches long, and on the white ribbon is printed, "Missouri Minute Men"-- The letter says they are becoming the prevailing style in St. Louis, generally worn on the hat...
This a great complete description of a Missouri Secesh cockade-- I should make up some of these.
