Located in the western portion of the Ozark region of the state, Greene County was created in 1833 from Crawford and Wayne Counties. Even though Missouri didn't become an official state until 1821, settlers began showing up in the western side around this time. Many of whom were from the Southern states such as: Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky. This book is a complete detailed history of the state, the county along the various towns of the time. Numerious individuals are mentioned with clues to their previous residents being discussed through out these various history sections. But the reader will delight in the biographical sketches of some 523 individuals of the county and genealogical data on some 2,000 other families / individuals. These persons were not only from VA, TN, NC, & KY but also had large numbers of settlers from OH, PA, IN, IL, & MO along with lesser quanties from the states of DE, GA, IA, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NY, VT, WI, & WV. The NEW INDEX for this reprint mentions over 3,000 entries.
This 230 page atlas is divided into seven parts. Part I, Missouri's Divided Loyalties, and Part II, Missouri's Five Seasons, provide an overview of Missouri's history from the initial settlement of the Louisiana Purchase Territories through the opening years of the American Civil War. The remaining parts cover the Confederate plan, the Confederate movement into Missouri and the Union reaction, the Confederate retreat and Union pursuit into Kansas, and the final Confederate escape back into Arkansas. The atlas has a standard format with the map to left and the narrative to the right. Each narrative closes with two or more primary source vignettes. These vignettes provide an overview of the events shown on the map and discussed in the narrative from the perspective of persons who participated in the events. In most cases there are two vignettes with the first from a person loyal to the Union and the second from a person who supported the southern cause. A few narratives have two or more vignettes from only the Union side. This was done to emphasize disagreements and struggles among senior leaders to establish a common course of action. Map 25, Decision at the Little Blue River, is a good example and the three vignettes emphasize the disagreement between Maj. Gen. Samuel Curtis and his subordinate, Maj. Gen. James Blunt on where to locate the Union defensive line.
