Sterling Price served as a major general in the Confederate army during the Civil War. Because of his early conditional Unionism - Price was for the Union, but not to the extent of suppressing the rights of individual states - he was not completely trusted by Missouri's eventual Confederate governor, Thomas C. Reynolds.
As a general, Price inspired his men to fight fearlessly in the battles of Wilson's Creek, Lexington, and Pea Ridge. His "last hurrah" was the 1864 raid into Missouri. However, Reynolds, who traveled with the men, was furious that the raid failed to bring Missouri into the Confederacy.
In 1867, Reynolds began writing his version of events. Although never completed, his manuscript has proved to be a proverbial gold mine of information about the Civil War. Editor Robert G. Schulz has annotated Reynolds's unfinished manuscript, which is important not only for its appraisal of Sterling Price but also for Reynolds's views of the inner workings of the Confederate government and in particular the challenges that faced the Trans-Mississippi Department of the Confederacy.
