Bøker av William E. Parrish

This biography of Missourian Frank Blair demonstrates the extent of his importance as a national political figure, showing his ardent support of Abraham Lincoln and championing of the president's programme in Congress. He is one of only two Missourians honoured by his state in Statuary Hall.

This work follows the course of the state's history through the turbulent years of the Civil War and Reconstruction. In addition to the political events of the period, the social and economic conditions of the state immediately before, during and after the war are covered here.
