“‘We Are Living in Very Stirring Times’:
The Civil War Era in Missouri’s Capital City”

Executive Director Gary Kremer will deliver the luncheon address at the 2011 Annual Meeting, focusing on life in Missouri’s capital city, from President Lincoln’s election in November 1860 through the War and its immediate aftermath. Kremer will chronicle the anxiety under which residents lived, as they watched and wondered whether their city and state would ultimately remain with the Union, or be absorbed by the Confederacy.
