This reformatted SECOND EDITION of Forrest Brockman's outstanding work allows the reader to wrap themselves around the history of Balke Prairie (Benton County, Missouri) during the years leading up to the Civil War and the days of the Bushwhackers. Written by legendary local historian, Forrest Brockman, based on accounts of his Grandfather, Theodore Brockman, who owned some of the land on which these stories played out. Many pictures were taken by Forrest, or passed down to him, of the actual barns and houses of the battle sites and skirmishes that followed the War. This is an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a nearly lost account of some of the most colorful times in our area during the tumultuous years surrounding our country's Civil War. An absolute must-read for any local or Civil War enthusiast!
