Product Description
by Lexington Historical Society (Author)
The Lexington Historical Society, organized in September, 1897, for the "collection and preservation of the original sources of the history of Lexington and vicinity," as the phrase runs in the charter of its incorporation, has been pursuing the purposes of its organization quietly but with encouraging success. It is chiefly for the purpose of stimulating interest in the work of this society that this little pamphlet is printed. It will be found to contain exact reprints of many official reports and dispatches relating to the battle of Lexington, Missouri, which have failed to get into the Rebellion Records. In fact, the Rebellion Records contain no official reports except those of Price and his two division commanders, Rains and Harris.
