Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 11 years, astride the Missouri-Kansas border, Cass County endured the vortex of our nation’s most violent confl ict. Citizens struggled between three raging fi res, Secessionism, Unionism, and an undying Border War. Cass County’s uncivil war, intimate, cruel, and total, suffered no man, woman or child to escape loss or injury – their individual stories weave history’s fabric. Violent circumstances forged leaders who shaped Missouri’s political and military history. Caught Between Three Fires, for the fi rst time, reconstructs a lost history, erased by total destruction, Order No. 11, and time’s purposeful neglect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Slavery’s Border is a bottom-up examination of how slavery and slaveholding were influenced by both the geography and the scale of the slaveholding enterprise. Missouri’s strategic access to important waterways made it a key site at the periphery of the Atlantic world. By the time of statehood in 1821, people were moving there in large numbers, especially from the upper South, hoping to replicate the slave society they’d left behind. Diane Mutti Burke focuses on the Missouri counties located along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers to investigate small-scale slavery at the level of the household and neighborhood. She examines such topics as small slaveholders’ child-rearing and fiscal strategies, the economics of slavery, relations between slaves and owners, the challenges faced by slave families, sociability among enslaved and free Missourians within rural neighborhoods, and the disintegration of slavery during the Civil War. Mutti Burke argues that economic and social factors gave Missouri slavery an especially intimate quality. Owners directly oversaw their slaves and lived in close proximity with them, sometimes in the same building. White Missourians believed this made for a milder version of bondage. Some slaves, who expressed fear of being sold further south, seemed to agree. Mutti Burke reveals, however, that while small slaveholding created some advantages for slaves, it also made them more vulnerable to abuse and interference in their personal lives. In a region with easy access to the free states, the perception that slavery was threatened spawned white anxiety, which frequently led to violent reassertions of supremacy.

Book excerpt: Hoofs of wild beasts treaded heavily on the prairies of what would become Jackson, Cass, and Bates Counties in Missouri. The trails left behind led the animals to death by area Indians. In turn, death came to the Indian on the same trail, by the eastern settlers, and these dusty trails led the carnal man to murder and destruction. In no other place is it more evident, than in these western Missouri counties, of neighbor killing neighbor, during the Civil War. As boundless prairies became lawless,. men were killed in cold blood on their own farms, and in their own towns the churches filled with hatred toward one another. Countless women were left widowed, children left fatherless and homeless during the Civil War on the Missouri-Kansas Border. Austin, Missouri: Where I Call Home details the lives of families, past and present, residing in the small villages of southern Cass County, Missouri. Included are two diaries of Union soldiers take us from Missouri - Kansas border conflicts to the battlefield in Gettysburg. The rich history of the people of Cass County, was silenced when they were put to rest in the silent city known as Austin Cemetery. Now, their legacy speaks loudly for the first time, documented in the history of where they called home. Step back to a boy's simple life in Missouri and to a little girl's terrorizing childhood days in England during WW II. Relive the history of the Missouri farm, where the author lived for 60 years, this was the scene where the creeks and river were her playground which once flowed with the blood of man. Much has been written of the devastation of the Civil War on our home land, but the process that mended the heart has been overlooked, until now. God chose the charred and blood stained land in and around the town of Austin, Cass County, Missouri to bring healing through a simple bowl of beans.
