Parallel Lives: From the Far West to Wilson's Creek

Join Ranger Clayton for a program on the parallel lives of some of the leaders and common soldiers who fought on both sides of the Battle of Wilson's Creek. Though divided by war, they were bound together by experiences shared with many other Americans - newly opened land in Missouri and Arkansas, War with Mexico, the allure of gold, and the promise of the Far West. Experience the prelude (and, sometimes, aftermath) to the Civil War in Missouri and beyond. See who you'd follow.
