In 1864, General Sterling Price with an army of 12,000 ragtag
Confederates invaded Missouri in an effort to wrest it from the
United States Army's Department of Missouri. Price hoped his
campaign would sway the 1864 presidential election, convincing
war-weary Northern voters to cast their ballots for a peace
candidate rather than Abraham Lincoln. It was the South's last
invasion of Northern territory. But it was simply too late in the
war for the South to achieve such an outcome, and Price grossly
mismanaged the campaign, guaranteeing defeat of his force and the
Confederate States. This book chronicles the Confederacy's
desperate final and ill-fated attempt win a decisive victory.
