Book excerpt: Sterling Price served as a Confederate major general, leading by example and sharing hardships with his men. However, Reynolds, who traveled with the men, was furious that Prices raid failed to bring Missouri into the Confederacy. Reynolds began writing his version of events, and for the first time, the entire, although unfinished, manuscript is available, showcasing Reynoldss views of the inner workings of the Confederate government.
