Old Glory

The Twenty-first Missouri Volunteer Infantry was formed on December 31, 1861, when Special Order #15 merged the understrength First and Second Northeast Missouri Regiments. It was made of men primarily from the Missouri Counties of Scotland, Knox, Lewis, Schuyler, Clark, and Adair but also included men from nearby Iowa and Illinois counties. The veterans forming the new regiment had gained combat experience suppressing Confederate insurgency in Northeastern Missouri, and many had fought victoriously on Aug. 5, 1861, at Athens, Missouri.

scrollWebmistress' Note: I am looking for information (stories, documents, photos, etc.) on the men of the 21st to add to this site. I regard this site as "OUR" site and would love to include a little bit "extra" for each soldier of the regiment so that our visitors could learn more about these special men. If you have anything that you would be willing to share with the rest of us, please contact me at shnr@cpinternet.com   Thank you.

scroll To help you search this site for your soldier, I have added a search engine to my site. If you do not find your ancestor by using the Search Engine, it may be a "SPELLING" problem. Not yours, but in the way records were kept in the 1800's. Try various spellings and/or looking at each company to see if he may be there.
