New Book:
"Financial Fraud and Guerrilla Violence in Missouri's Civil War, 1861-1865,"
by Mark Geiger  explores a previously unknown financial conspiracy at the start of the war. The
book explains the reasons for the puzzling intensity of Missouri’s guerrilla conflict, and for the state’s
anomalous experience in Reconstruction. In the broader history of the war, the book gives the first
account of an archaic form of military mobilization used in the antebellum United States.
