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, 1862] 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. |
