From the 1780 Battle of St. Louis through the Louisiana Purchase, veterans of the Revolutionary War settled in the Spanish- and French-run territory to build homes, families, and communities. Drummer boys and militiamen who fought from Lexington to Yorktown in their youth lived to fight again in the West alongside their adult sons in the War of 1812. Veterans of Washington's armies served in the Missouri Territorial and State Assemblies then drew their pensions and watched their grandchildren play in the state they had helped build. Their stories started in battles east of the Mississippi but came to fruition in the Show-Me State.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoin author Paul Kirkman as he digs through 250 years of history to uncover the story of Missouri's Revolutionary roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467171229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160","brand":"Paul Kirkman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435620790453,"sku":"9781467171229","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_95447e94-5964-4242-83e4-72342b01a91f.jpg?v=1776227518","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/missouri-revolutionaries-9781467171229","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
