A HISTORY OF
OF MISSOURI

Dedication.
TO THE
MARTYRS OF MISSOURI,
AND THE
THIS BOOK
IS RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED,
BY THE AUTHOR.
“We are making history,” was the convenient and popular boast of
certain politico-religious fanatics during the late civil war, and for a
few years subsequent to its close. It will not be considered
impertinent, now that the “piping times of peace” have come, and
men are permitted to look back upon the cooled passions and
crystallized events of that dreadful period with somewhat of calm
philosophy, if the fact should be announced that “we are writing
history.” It is one thing to make the history, it is quite another thing
to write it. If others could afford to “make history,” and, then, in
popular cant and with prurient vanity, boast of it, we can well afford
to write it up for them. And if our part of the task be fairly, candidly
and correctly done, they will have little reason to complain if they
appear before the world and go down to posterity in the light of the
history they have made, and with their true character brought out by
the shadows they have thrown forward upon the future. History is
valuable, not merely as a catalogue of events and an inventory of
things, but for the principles involved and the lessons taught. The
events herein narrated are notorious, the principles involved are
vital, and the lessons important.
Missouri will ever be conspicuous in the annals of history as the
only State in the American Union to inaugurate and authorize a
formal opposition to Christianity, as an institution, and legalize the
persecution of ministers of the gospel, as a class. The fact will not be
denied, and the history furnishes the saddest, wisest lessons.
Ministers of the gospel have been robbed, arrested, imprisoned, and
even murdered, for no other cause than that they were ministers of
the gospel. They have been indicted by grand juries, arrested and
imprisoned with common felons, mobbed and put to death for no
other cause than that of preaching the gospel without taking the
“Test Oath” of the New Constitution. A pure, unsecular Christianity
owes much to the moral heroism of the Missouri ministry. The faith
once delivered unto the saints, the integrity of the Church of Jesus
Christ, as a kingdom not of this world, the purity of the gospel, the
divine authority of the ministry, the liberty of conscience, and the
rightful sovereignty of Christ in his Church, with every principle and
phase of religious liberty, have been illustrated in the lives and
sublimely vindicated in the sufferings of the ministers of the gospel
in Missouri.
The author fully appreciates the delicacy and difficulty of dealing
with such recent events and so many living names—events, too,
which belong to the catalogue of crime, and names that will pass into
history associated with the persecution and stained with the blood of
the Lord’s annointed. But if the task is difficult and the questions
delicate, the duty is no less imperative. It is due alike to the martyrs,
living and dead, and to the holy cause for which they suffered, that
their names and deeds be preserved, and that their unswerving
fidelity and sublime devotion to a principle and a cause, equal to the
purest heroism of the ancient martyrs, should not be lost to the
Church. It is one of the gravest responsibilities of the hour, and one
of the most gracious opportunities of the Church, to preserve the
history, vindicate the faith, maintain the principles and impress the
lessons of the turbulent past upon the peaceful future, that grace may
abound through suffering and God may be glorified in his servants.
A diluted charity says, “Let the dead past bury its dead, and let the
living present draw the mantle of charity over the unfortunate by-
gones.” This might be well enough if the “dead past” did not contain
the imperishable gem of a resurrection life that speaks to us with
authority in the vital principles of yesterday, to-day and forever, and
tells us, amongst other thins, that the chief of the Christian virtues—a
pure, discriminating charity—has no mantle for crime, however
Christ-like may be its compassion for the penitent criminal.
Both Federal and State legislation shield those who committed the
crimes of the war from legal prosecution; but such enactments
possess no control over the pen and the press.
In presenting this work to the public the author is fully conscious
of its many literary defects. But for all that, he dare not sacrifice the
facts of history, even to literary excellence. Many subjects possess an
importance and a grandeur wholly independent of those who handle
them.
If, in treating of so many men and such recent events, injustice has
been done the living or the dead, the author pleads the absence of
intention and claims the benefit of a discriminating charity.
Both the work and the author will receive the severest criticism—
perhaps censure—possibly abuse. The first—he would not escape if
he could; the second—he could not escape if he would; the third—
well—it is no new thing under the sun for those who are set for the
defense of truth and righteousness to be abused.
The following prefatory notes, furnished by Dr. M‘Anally and
Bishop Marvin, together with the Introduction by Dr. Summers, will
not only assure the timid and establish the doubtful, but will be as
grateful to the Methodist and general public as to the author:
PREFATORY NOTE.
“In the following pages the reader may find an account of some
of those horrible outrages perpetrated on Christian ministers in
Missouri, chiefly because they were Christian men and Christian
ministers; but scarce a tenth of all such outrages have been, or
likely ever will be, placed before the public. They have cast a foul
and ineraseable blot upon the fame of the State of Missouri, and
must consign the immediate perpetrators to an infamy as lasting
and as hateful as that of the most cruel persecutors of Christians in
gone-by ages. And what deepens, blackens and renders more
odious the guilt of these things is, they were for the greater part
done by, or under the sanction of, men professing to love and
follow the Lord Jesus Christ; with a claim to, and under the pretext
of, a purer patriotism and holier Christianity, they committed
atrocities that would disgrace barbarians and savages.
“It is well the record of these horrible deeds be preserved, that
the better portion of the people in this and other States may have
some knowledge of what was done and suffered here during the
dark and bloody days, from 1861 to ’65.
“Many of those, directly or indirectly, implicated in these deeds
of cruelty and shame are now loud and earnest in their entreaties
for ‘by-gones to be by-gones,’ and profess great grief that anything
should be said or done ‘to keep alive the feelings of the past.’ It is
not strange they should feel thus; but can they reasonably expect
an honest and outraged people should continue to cover up such
abominations, receive those who committed them into respectable
society, and treat them as though they were innocent, honest, high-
minded, Christian gentlemen? That would be strange—passing
strange! No! Truth and righteousness, justice and mercy, alike
demand that a faithful record of all such inhuman outrages be
made, extensively circulated and carefully preserved; that all the
perpetrators, instigators and abettors be consigned to that infamy
they so deservedly earned. Of such a record this is the first volume,
and it is hoped another, and another, and, if need be, yet another,
will be forthcoming, until the whole matter shall be placed in its
true and proper light.
“Of the manner in which the author has performed his work in
the pages following I need not speak. Each reader will judge for
himself, and each will find something to interest and instruct. The
facts developed are exceedingly suggestive, and suggestive, too, in
regard to all the interests of society.
“The thoughtful render will naturally inquire as to the cause of,
and reason for, such things, as well as to their natural and
legitimate effects, and this may induce an honest, healthful inquiry
as to what influences should be brought to bear to make men
better, and thus prevent the recurrence of such things as are here
detailed. Let the book be extensively circulated, carefully read, and
its contents well considered.
“D. R. M’ANALLY.
“Rev. W. M. Leftwich:
“Dear Sir—I have seen the proof sheets of a large portion of the
first volume of ‘Martyrdom in Missouri,’ now soon to come from
the press.
“The publication of this book meets my hearty approval. I have
met with some who say, ‘Let the past sleep; let all its crimes, and
the had blood engendered by them, be buried forever.’ I have not
so learned Christ. He, the Incarnate Love, charged the blood of the
prophets upon the sons of their murderers. The true work of
Christian charity is to eradicate crime, not to ignore it. The
maudlin sentiment that would daub over the great public crimes
committed by the highest dignitaries of the Northern Methodist
Church and their representatives in the South and along the
border, is not charity. It is at best a clumsy counterfeit of that chief
of the virtues. True charity will seek to bring them to confession
and recantation of their deeds.
“To all their former misdeeds they now add, to avoid the shame
of the past, denials, equivocation and, as in the case of the Holston
property seized by them, false recriminations. The sober truth is
that they never hesitated during the time of our public trouble to
use the influence an active partisanship gave them with the party
in power, to take possession of our property, either by military
order, or terrorism, or mob violence. The public conscience of that
Church seems to have been debauched by their efforts to defraud
us of our property at the time of the division of the Church.
“But the stench of these recent atrocities is so strong in the
nostrils of the people that the perpetrators resort to the ever open
refuge of the evil-doer—denial. This book is opportune. The great
body of the preachers and members of the Church North are
honest men. The denials made by their leading men and Church
papers they suppose to be true. Here are facts in detail, with places,
names, dates, and copies of legal proceedings taken from official
sources.
“Before the war, when Northern preachers were objects of
suspicion, and public demonstrations were sometimes made
against them, the editor of the St. Louis Christian Advocate, Rev.
D. R. M‘Anally, raised his voice against all mobs and mob violence
with a will and an emphasis that left no covert suggestions of
encouragement to those who might have been disposed to resort to
violent measures. Led by the Advocate, the whole Southern Church
in the State gave its influence, publicly and privately, against all
violent proceedings. If that paper and our Church had, at that time,
pursued the course that the Northern preachers and papers did
towards us during the war, they would have been driven from the
State. As it was, in order to get credit for persecution, they had to
resort to the most remarkable tricks. Take, for instance, the case,
given with proper names in this book, of one of their camp
meetings being broken up by the preacher in charge of it being
caught in the act of adultery—broken up by their own members.
This they published to the world as a case of persecution by
Southern people.
“While I do not agree fully with all the views set forth in the
preliminary chapters of this volume, I am prepared to say that the
facts bearing on the main topic have been collected and verified
with great care, and that there can be no doubt of the accuracy of
the statements. You have been pleased to hold yourself
responsible, giving proper names, dates, etc. I do not hesitate to
invite upon myself a full share of the responsibility.
“Hoping that you will soon have the second volume, containing
the names of our other murdered brethren, ready for the press,
