It is a treasure for me!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One of a kindBy Merideth SearsThe only reason I give it four stars instead of the five; is I would have liked to have seen more photographs and maybe maps? But it's very comprehensive and gave me the information I wanted for genealogy research. A very good reference work and I know of no other for the Missouri Confederate Units.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding reference work!By Andy PapenI just finished this book; and it is outstanding. Jim McGhee covers every Missouri unit that organized for Confederate service. Units of all three branches of service are covered here; from regiments all the way down to independent companies. The book is limited to Confederate units; see Sterling Price's Lieutenants for information on State Guard units. The book is organized by branch of service (all artillery units in one section; then cavalry and infantry).There are many strengths to this book. I liked the format. Each unit has a narrative section; covering unit organization and service. There is also a listing of field officers; and a listing of commanders of each company and county of primary origin; when known. I knew quite a bit about the reorganizations of the regiments in the 1st and 2nd Missouri Brigades; but there were numerous renumberings and reorganizations/consolidations of many other Missouri units; and McGhee makes sense of it all. In addition; a bibliography is provided for each unit; plus a bibliography of more general sources at the end.Bottom line: if you have a serious interest in the Trans-Mississippi Theatre; the Western Theatre; and/or the contributions of Missouri units to the Confederacy; this excellent reference should be on your shelf.
