In the late summer of 1864, Confederate General Sterling Price led a last ditch attempt to liberate Missouri from Union occupation and brutal guerrilla warfare. Price's invading army was like few others seen during the Civil War. This is the story of his invasion from its politically charged planning to its starving retreat.

Explores a little-known chapter in the history of American politics - the struggle between states and the federal government over the costs of fighting the Civil War. Focusing on Kansas, Kentucky, and Missouri, this book explores the process by which states were reimbursed by Washington in the intergovernmental contact of the 19th century.
