I just wanted to take a moment to say hello and to introduce myself.
I just found this site and think I will enjoy it. I am from the Great State of Missouri (12th Star on the Battle Flag!). I love War Between the States history and have done some reenacting, but not for some time.
I hope to meet you all at some time!
Thanks,
Mark

I'd like to be among the first to welcome you, MOBushwhacker, but of course that would mean you'd have to acknowledge that your greeting of "Gentlemen" was a bit exclusive....

Welcome MOBster, Hope you enjoy the experience. Fell free to express yourself. As being from Missouri, you must have a lot for us all to cogitate upon.

Welcome and jump right in. I suppose I can forgive Missouri for giving the Confederacy Sterling Price due to the fact that it gave the Confederacy Francis Cockrell.
