After a trip to the local library, to fill in a time-line perspective on the battles in William Harrison McAninch's record, interspersed with some historical notes, from the book, "The Civil War in the American West", by Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., published in 1991, by Alfred Knopf, New York – |
|
|
|
[May 21, 1861]: W. H. McAninch enlisted M.S.G., at Pleasant Hill, Mo. |
|
[August 10, 1861]: battle of Wilson's Creek, south of Springfield, Mo. |
|
[Dec. 1861]: "Marching briskly under the blue flag of Missouri rather than the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy, "Old Pap" Price, as his pro-Southern Missouri troops knew him, led his high-spirited columns up the west side of the state to the Sac River near Osceola. There, many of his men, whose enlistments [in] the Missouri State Guard had expired, left him to return to their homes for the winter." (page 334) |
|
[March 17-18, 1862]: battle of Pea Ridge, near Bentonville, Arkansas |
|
[1862]: "On August 11, guerrillas, led by Hughes, Thompson, Hays, and Quantrill, captured most of the Federal Army garrison at Independence, and five days later [Aug. 16] another partisan group overwhelmed a Union force in a savage, house-to-house fight at Lone Jack." (pg 358) |
|
[with "another group" at Lone Jack, was he with Quantrill in Kansas?] |
|
[August 21, 1863]: Quantrill sacks Lawrence, Kansas, kills 150 (pg 373) |
|
[September 1864]: "Near Waverly, Quantrill's raiders, who had had a falling out with their chief and were now led by George Todd, were greeted [by Gen. Price's Army of Missouri, C.S.A.] and assigned to [General Jo] Shelby's [cavalry] division as scouts." (page 380) |
|
[1865]: "Jo Shelby, the most diehard of rebels, never did give up. Crossing the Rio Grande with several hundred followers, he spent two years in self-imposed exile in Mexico before returning to Missouri, where he resumed farming." (page 385) |
|
[did W.H. come back to Missouri with Shelby? before him? or after?] |
|
|
|
And today, in July, 1993, (one of) General Jo Shelby's battle flag(s), which was never surrendered, is on display in the Confederate Memorial at the Oklahoma Historical Society building, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. |
