Valley Forge Camp No. 868 holds weekly gatherings every Thursday evening in the hall on North Side Square. Neighbors are welcome to attend and participate in the community group’s activities.
In early August 1861 Union forces under Colonel David Moore clashed with a Confederate detachment led by Colonel Martin Green near Athens, Missouri. After two hours of fighting Moore’s troops repelled the attack, seized prisoners and supplies, and claimed a morale-boosting Union victory amid Missouri’s unsettled wartime situation.
The Union dominates Missouri politics while Confederate sympathizers rally in St Louis. Fremont imposes martial law as skirmishes flare at Potosi Georgetown Fredericktown and Charlestown. Grants and other generals are confirmed as Congress ends its session. An April 16 proclamation signals broader federal action.
A series of letters discusses Union strategy around Washington and the Army of the Potomac. Generals McClellan and Scott are described, with concerns over leadership, reinforcements, and the threat from Confederate forces led by Beauregard and Magruder.
