Both a historical examination and a tribute to the men who bore these colors. “A wonderful resource for any Civil War enthusiasts!” —Doc Kirby, “Book Bit,” WTBF-AM/FM Flying high above us and waving in the wind, flags are reminders of what we stand for. They stir the most patriotic emotions within the human heart, and the battle flag often evokes those as strong today as during the War for Southern Independence. Every flag has a unique story. Those that survived the war are featured in this book with color illustrations and a brief history of their units. They are presented chronologically, and each flag is shown in its original design. Cavalry, infantry, artillery and naval flags are included, along with those that did not belong to any particular unit. There are photographs showing patterns of wear, damage, or artwork associated with each. Those that did not survive are illustrated—recreated from the thorough description that is left of them. “Colorful, well-illustrated, and contains much information about each flag.” —Civil War News “Outstanding! It is a credit to Dedmondt that he manages to keep up the stringent demands of scholarship and to keep the book within most readers’ abilities to browse, read, and devour!” —Smoke & Fire News

Civil War historians shed new light on the importance of guerrilla combat across the south in this “useful and fascinating work” (Choice). Touching states from Virginia to New Mexico, guerrilla warfare played a significant yet underexamined role in the Civil War. Guerrilla fighters fought for both the Union and the Confederacy—as well as their own ethnic groups, tribes, or families. They were deadly forces that plundered, tortured, and terrorized those in their path, and their impact is not yet fully understood. This richly diverse volume assembles a team of both rising and eminent scholars to examine guerrilla warfare in the South during the Civil War. Together, they discuss irregular combat as practiced by various communities in multiple contexts, including how it was used by Native Americans, the factors that motivated raiders in the border states, and the women who participated as messengers, informants, collaborators, and combatants. They also explore how the Civil War guerrilla has been mythologized in history, literature, and folklore.

"[A] thorough and comprehensive study of this tragic, almost forgotten episode of American history." —History "What Sherman did in Georgia and Sheridan in the Valley pales in comparison. This study truly shows the horrible cost inherent in any civil war." —Civil War Courier "[A] well written and compelling account of an aspect of the Civil War which has not received sufficient attention." —Southern Historian "Compelling . . ." —Publishers Weekly "[A] fast-paced . . .absorbing discourse . . . Black Flag is a highly recommended book that transports the reader to the towns and dusty highways of Kansas and Missouri during the Civil War." —Kansas History From 1861 to 1865, the region along the Missouri-Kansas border was the scene of unbelievable death and destruction. Thousands died, millions of dollars of property was lost, entire populations were violently uprooted. It was here also that some of the greatest atrocities in American history occurred. Yet in the great national tragedy of the Civil War, this savage warfare has seemed a minor episode. Drawing from a wide array of contemporary documents—including diaries, letters, and first-hand newspaper accounts—Thomas Goodrich presents a hair-raising report of life in this merciless guerrilla war. Filled with dramatic detail, Black Flag reveals war at its very worst, told in the words of the participants themselves. Bushwhackers and Jayhawkers, soldiers and civilians, scouts, spies, runaway slaves, the generals and the guerrillas—all step forward to tell of their terrifying ordeals. From the shocking, sensational massacres at Lawrence, Baxter Springs, and Centralia to the silent terror of a woman at home alone in the Aburnt district, Black Flag is a horrifying day-by-day account of life, death and war, told with unforgettable immediacy.

As a border state, Missouri was coveted by both the Union and the Confederacy at the beginning of the Civil War. Missourians took sides, with politicians trying to either keep Missouri in the Union or trying to secede and join the ranks of the Confederate States. In the end, the Show Me State remained with the Union but was given an honorary status in the Confederacy, even being represented with a star on the Confederate flag. Fighting soon erupted in the state, causing Missourian to fight Missourian-a sort of civil war within a civil war. The largest battle fought in Missouri was the Battle of Wilson's Creek, August 10, 1861, where Union forces under Nathaniel Lyon and Franz Sigel attacked Confederate forces under Ben McCulloch in the early-morning hours. While Wilson's Creek allowed the Confederates to retain control of the southwestern portion of the state, they soon retreated to Arkansas. While in Arkansas, Confederate forces made forays and raids into Missouri. Missouri troops were brigaded together and fought in both the Trans-Mississippi and Western theaters. Battles included Pea Ridge, Arkansas; Corinth, Iuka, Big Black River, and Vicksburg, Mississippi; Pleasant Hill and Jenkins' Ferry, Arkansas; New Hope Church and Allatoona, Georgia; and Franklin and Nashville, Tennessee. Major battles in Missouri during the war include Belmont, Carthage, Independence, Lexington, Little Blue River, Newtonia, Springfield, and Wilson's Creek. The following men from Missouri became generals in the Confederate Army: John S. Bowen, John B. Clark, Jr., Francis Marion Cockrell, Daniel, M. Frost, Martin E. Green, John Sappington Marmaduke, Mosby Monroe Parson, Sterling Price, Joseph O. Shelby, andJohn G. Walker. The end of the war found most of the Missourians in Alabama, where they were surrendered and paroled, eventually making their way home.
