Description of contents below, from the website of the Missouri Historical Review:
Captain Francisco Ríu y Morales and the Beginnings of Spanish Rule in Missouri.” By Gilbert C. Din, pp. 121-145.
Captain Francisco Ríu y Morales served as the first Spanish commandant in Missouri, 1767-1769. Sent with a contingent of laborers and soldiers to establish a fort at the mouth of the Missouri River, Ríu proved to be an inept commander whose stay in the Spanish colony of Upper Louisiana was a study in disaster. Din examines Ríu's expedition from its point of departure in Spain in 1766 to its return to Cuba in 1769. He concludes Spanish government and army officials as well as Antonio de Ulloa, governor of Louisiana, and the men on the expedition must share the blame for the problems experienced by the mission.
Impeachment Proceedings as a Partisan Tool: The Trial of Judge David Todd. By Dennis K. Boman, pp. 146-159.
Supporters of Andrew Jackson in the Missouri House brought impeachment proceedings against David Todd, judge of Missouri's First Judicial Circuit, in late 1828. A supporter of John Quincy Adams, Todd became the focus of the Jacksonian legislators' 'hostility . . . against the Judiciary generally.'” In this article, Boman focuses on Todd's trial before the Senate. He examines the articles of impeachment, which accused the judge of committing ”misdemeanors in office with corrupt intent,” and Todd's defense, presented by central Missouri lawyer Abiel Leonard. The author concludes that Todd's exoneration by the Senate ”served as a check to the House's partisanship.”
Memory, Myth, and Musty Records: Charles Woodson's Missouri Cavalry in the Army of Northern Virginia, Part 2. By Thomas F. Curran, pp. 160-175.
This article completes the story of Charles Woodson's Civil War service with the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. The author details the movements of Woodson's First Missouri Cavalry from May 1864 until the end of the war and provides information about some of the members during the postwar years. Woodson returned to Chariton County, Missouri, after the war, and Curran describes his later life in some detail. He closes the article with suggesting possible reasons that Woodson did not reveal his connection to the First Missouri Cavalry in postwar biographical accounts.
Show Me Missouri History: Celebrating the Century, Part 1. By Linda Brown-Kubisch and Christine Montgomery, pp. 176-198.
This photographic essay examines many aspects of life in the state during the first twenty years of the twentieth century. The illustrations and text will be incorporated into a video surveying the last one hundred years in Missouri.
