PDF Buddhism and the Transformation of Old Age in Medieval Japan by Edward R. Drott in History

Description

Guerrilla warfare; border fights; and unorganized skirmishes are all too often the only battles associated with Missouri during the Civil War. Combined with the state’s distance from both sides’ capitals; this misguided impression paints Missouri as an insignificant player in the nation’s struggle to define itself. Such notions; however; are far from an accurate picture of the Midwest state’s contributions to the war’s outcome. Though traditionally cast in a peripheral role; the conventional warfare of Missouri was integral in the Civil War’s development and ultimate conclusion. The strategic battles fought by organized armies are often lost amidst the stories of guerrilla tactics and bloody combat; but in The Civil War in Missouri; Louis S. Gerteis explores the state’s conventional warfare and its effects on the unfolding of national history.
