Battle of Wilson's Creek

Bloody Hill

The Civil War Battle of Wilson's Creek

William Riley Brooksher

An excellent book that covers the 1850-1861 history of the Pro-Slavery and Abolitionist struggles in Missouri as the civil war approaches.  After the start of the civil war, Brooksher moves into a military history structure concerned with the structure and characteristics of the rival forces in Missouri as they maneuver and bring about the battle of Wilson's Creek.
