THIS BOOK IS PUBLISHED BY MISSOURI LIFE MAGAZINE AND DISTRIBUTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI PRESS. This book explains the political atmosphere in Missouri prior to the Civil War and the war’s effects on Missourians throughout the first year of the tortuous struggle to determine the state’s allegiance. During the 1850s; as arguments over states’ rights and slavery escalated; Missouri became one of the most volatile regions in the nation. Friends; families; and neighbors often found themselves on opposite sides of the issues because of the strong ties Missouri had with both the North and the South. The authors introduce key political and military players—including Nathaniel Lyon; Sterling Price; Ulysses S. Grant—and explain military operations from the first battle at Boonville to the 1861 battles at Carthage; Wilson’s Creek; Athens; Lexington; and Belmont. Missouri soon came to epitomize the tragedy of the nation’s internecine struggle.

This book contains the novena to Our Lady of Good Success; tooBy Sue L.This book clearly explains the miracles that occurred at a Conceptionist convent in Quito; Ecuador in the late 1700's. The messages that were given to Mother Mariana have been echoed by Our Lady at La Salette; Fatima; Akita. Still; humanity has failed to heed her warnings. Now; we are watching the wrath of God beginning its visitation upon all of the nations of the world. This book contains the novena to Our Lady of Good Success; too. A concise; clear explanation of a long-neglected message to the world from Our Lady. I used to pooh-pooh Marian apparitions. But after learning about their content; seeing firsthand as a parish Director of Religious Education in the 1970's to 1980's the corruption infiltration of the Catholic Church by Marxists homosexuals bent on destroying her; I am now a firm believer. Everything that we are witnessing today was foretold by Our Lady many years ago.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful.
