The role of the Missouri Confederate in the Civil War is too often typified as that of the Bushwhacker, guerrilla, or partisan ranger. Although these soldiers are certainly part of Missouri's Confederate history, Missouri soldiers also fought for the South at Shiloh and Corinth, from Vicksburg to Atlanta, in the assault at Franklin, and in defense of Fort Blakely in Mobile Bay. Printed primary accounts about these Confederate regiments from Missouri are few. In this new book, author and editor William C. Winter presents the story of the 1st Missouri Infantry, one of the best of these regiments, through the words of Captain Joseph Boyce of Company D, the St. Louis Greys.Less than two decades after the war, Boyce began presenting his history of the regiment to the Southern Historical and Benevolent Society of St. Louis. His text appeared in the "Missouri Republican" after each lecture, resulting in a serialized account spread over several years. Boyce's narrative addresses his service from his involvement as a member of the Missouri Volunteer Militia in the Camp Jackson massacre on May 10, 1861, until the regiment's surrender at Fort Blakely near Mobile, Alabama, in April 1865. Boyce's history is offered here in full and as a continuous story for the first time.Winter has written the necessary introduction to each chapter, adding background to Boyce's narrative that to Boyce was unneeded because many in his initial audience had shared the experience of war. Through extensive footnotes and the incorporation of other writings by Boyce, Winter has significantly expanded Boyce's history but has maintained the focus on the regiment's service in the war's western theater.
Written by two INFOSEC experts, this book provides a systematic and
practical approach for establishing, managing and operating a
comprehensive Information Assurance program. It is designed to
provide ISSO managers, security managers, and INFOSEC professionals
with an understanding of the essential issues required to develop
and apply a targeted information security posture to both public
and private corporations and government run agencies. The authors lay out a detailed strategy for defining information
security, establishing IA goals, providing training for security
awareness, and conducting airtight incident response to system
compromise. Such topics as defense in depth, configuration
management, IA legal issues, and the importance of establishing an
IT baseline are covered in-depth from an organizational and
managerial decision-making perspective.
