Description: Kansans at Wilson's Creek =========================== Soldiers' Letters from the Campaign for Southwest Missouri ----- Edited by Hatch & Piston ---------------------------------------------- Publ. by Wilson's Creek Natl Battlefield Foundation 1983 - First Edition ---------------------------------------------- Softcover : Near Mint - seems unread. Signed by both editors on the title page.105 pages, with 2 maps, portraits and an index. ================================ From the Acknowledgements Page This project grew out of our ongoing research for a book on the Wilson's Creek Campaign. The "discovery" of the letters of men of the First and Second Kansas Volunteer Infantry Regiments has provided new insight into the campaign, and in particular to the role these Kansans played in the event. Kansans at Wilson's Creek is a modified version of a two part article, "Kansans go to War : The Wilson's Creek Campaign as Reported by the Leavenworth Daily Times," which we submitted to Kansas History, a publication of the Kansas State Historical Society. "Little attention has been paid to the Kansas troops or U.S. Regulars who moved first from Fort Leavenworth to Kansas City, and then went roughly due south to link up with General Lyon. These letters tell their story. They were originally printed in the Leavenworth Daily Times between June and August 1861 and present a surprisingly coherent and accurate picture of the campaign which culminated in the battle of Wilson's Creek."===================================Thank you for supporting independent booksellers !
