NCrawler, I agree. Three of my grandfathers served in the 18th La Infy. and one in the 26th La Infy who was captured at Vicksburg. I guess we have something in common with the Webels and Moo U.

Also to add a little more history. while most of the history happened on the Western side of the state, there were lots of Abolitionists from IL that would come in and try to claim St. Louis entirely for the Union. We were the major city in the region and it would cripple the confederate efforts if they used St. Louis as a hub.
