Civil War Regiments from Missouri provides accounts of the various infantry, cavalry, and artillery regiments and batteries which served the Union cause during the Civil War from the Show Me state. Each entry provides the names of the senior officers for each organization; when and where each was mustered in and mustered out of U. S. service; battles in which each unit participated; and, in some instances, the total casualties suffered by each regiment or battery during the war.

The author, Leo Rassieur, served in the 30th Missouri Infantry, Ordnance Officer for General Henry W. Slocum, Judge-Advocate in Elias Smith Dennis’ division, and commander of Fort Tracy, Alabama, at the end of the war. Four Missouri regiments are on William F.
