150 YEARS AGO: General uses shame to recruit troops
MARSHALL — Maj. Gen. Sterling Price sought to shame Southern sympathizers to join the Missouri State Guard as he issued a call for 50,000 men.
He reminded Missourians of the call for 50,000 men made by Gov. Claiborne Fox Jackson in June, “when peace and protection could no longer be enjoyed but at the price of honor and liberty.
“To that call less than 5,000 responded; out of a male population exceeding 200,000 men, one in forty only stepped forward to defend with their persons and their lives the cause of constitutional liberty and human rights,” Price said in his proclamation.
Price had actually had as many as 20,000 men after the victory at Lexington in September. He had been forced to send many home for lack of food and weapons, but he marched south with 12,000 men.
“Where are those 50,000 men? Are Missourians no longer true to themselves? Are they a timid, time-serving, craven race, fit only for subjection to a despot?” Price wrote in the proclamation.
