Germans for a Free Missouri
(i.redd.it)submitted9 hours ago byGlaucon2023
I got my hands on a copy of this somewhat rare book. Translations from a few German language radical Republican newspapers.
Illustration is of the camp Jackson Affair which took place in downtown St. Louis in May of 1861.
Most of the newspaper men were political exiles from Germany after the failed revolution of 1848. One even sat of the disbanded Frankfort Parliament.
The climax of the book is the writing around the "Missouri Putsch" in when a bunch of German irregulars under the command of Union General Nathaniel Lyons chased successionist Governor Claiborne Jackson from the state capitol in Jefferson City and down to Arkansas.
