EARLY PRAISE FOR
MISSOURI BROTHERS IN GRAY
“A long time aficionado of the Civil War in the
Trans-Mississippi, I applaud the emergence of the Camp Pope Bookshop and
its proposal to give priority to publication of books highlighting the forgotten
war that began in ‘Bleeding Kansas’ in the mid-1850s. Missouri
Brothers in Gray…is enriched by the introduction and notes provided
by author/editor Michael E. Banasik. This insures that the series’ initial
offering will appeal to a broad spectrum of the Civil War community, as well
as those who savor the best of Americana.”
Edwin C. Bearss, Historian Emeritus, National Park Service
“This collection of records preserved by John Payne Bull
and William Jeffery Bull is a highly welcome addition of primary source materials
for Civil War historiography. Michael Banasik has performed a stellar service
in bringing forth these materials, studiously editing and enlarging upon
them…A praisewor-thy contribution to our study of the War in the
West.”
Leslie Anders, Professor Emeritus, Central Missouri State University, Author
of The Eighteenth Missouri and The Twenty-First Missouri
“Missouri Brothers in Gray is an important contribution
to the historical literature on the Civil War in the Trans-Mississippi theater
and an invaluable reference tool for all those who wish to learn more about
that part of America’s most pivotal armed conflict.”
Gregory J. W. Urwin, Professor of History, University of Central Arkansas,
Author of Custer Victorious
“An excellent beginning to what promises to be a valuable
series of colorful and informative eyewitness accounts of the Civil War west
of the Mississippi River.”
William Shea, Professor of History, University of Arkansas at Monticello,
Co-Author of Pea Ridge: Civil War Campaign in the West
“Michael Banasik is to be commended for bringing to light
a very important primary source for Trans-Mississippi Civil War
scholarship…[William Bull’s] insights into the turbulent early
days of the Missouri State Guard’s muster, its capture at Camp Jackson,
and the subsequent movements of his units are priceless…”
Kim Allen Scott, Special Collections Librarian, Montana State University
“Sergeant William J. Bull’s diary and additional memories
were already a valuable primary source for students of the war in the west,
made even more important with Mr. Banasik’s excellent, in-depth footnotes.
The addition of the Bull brothers’ letters home as well as the appendices
listing the roster of Tilden’s Missouri Battery, selected biographical
sketches, and other information make this an excellent publication.”
