The Struggle for Missouri eBook John McElroy
The book is a definite five-star. It's a history book rather than a novel, but is written more like a novel, even though there's not a principal character.The story is an account of the civil war in Missouri, from before it begins until it's nearly over. The writer sympathizes with General Price, but is clearly on the other side, on the side of the north. Although I wasn't here during that war, the writer presents General Fremont as possibly more incompetent that he was. It's almost not possible to imagine a person as ineffective as the writer says General Fremont was. A small caveat: I've never been in a military battle and don't know how the participants react to death and suffering, but even though the writer reports numbers killed and wounded in various battles, he seems almost indifferent to every problem those can cause, except the military ones. The story ends with one of the South's last campaigns, with the North's victory nearly complete in Missouri. David Carlyle, "Billy Thomas."

The Struggle for Missouri eBook John McElroy Reviews
Twice crashed my Paperwhite. People with other s may have better luck.
I always thought the Battle of Wilson's Creek was a minor Civil War skirmish it was a big event in the war. I wish the book had illustrations though, without maps it' s a little hard to follow. Very well written
This 1909 book is a very fine account of the political and military events in MO from the secession of SC(1860) up to and including the Battle of Pea Ridge, AR, in 1862. The book is especially noteworthy in that it contains a great deal of the contemporary correspondence from the principal military and political leaders on both sides of the conflict.
The book is dedicated to "the Union Men of Missouri" and has a definite northern bias which is especially evident in the first chapter which contains an extremely unflattering portrait of pre-war southern society. But the author is relatively even handed throughout the remainder of the book and even seems to develop a grudging respect for Confederate general Sterling Price.
My main criticism(and it's a relatively small one) is that the book stops with Pea Ridge since, in the author's words, "the battle for Missouri had been fought and won". Though this is correct, it must be added that Sterling Price again invaded MO in 1864 and left a trail of battles from the SE corner of the state to the Kansas line including the Battle of Westport, the largest Civil War battle in MO.
Ending the book at Pea Ridge is a bit like leaving a movie in the middle.
The formatting of the version is decent but there are no illustrations and some of the tables are garbled.
The book is a definite five-star. It's a history book rather than a novel, but is written more like a novel, even though there's not a principal character.
