Series Sampler
This introductory Sampler offers selected excerpts from each of the fourteen series in the Missouri Speaks Collection. The collection ultimately comprises more than 70 volumes containing transcribed Civil War–era newspapers, primary-source documents, and government reports related to Missouri during the conflict.
The volumes are generally organized in chronological order, allowing readers to follow events as they unfolded. Additional volumes are arranged by subject matter or by the officer or official associated with the documents, providing focused perspectives on particular people and issues.
The Sampler provides readers with an opportunity to explore the scope and content of the collection and serves as a convenient guide for identifying the volumes that may be of greatest interest.
