1 The Bushwhacker May 2014 The Civil War Round Table of Saint Louis Cinders and Silence: Order No. 11 and Western Missouri s Burnt District by Tom A Rafiner Tom A. Rafiner grew up in Jackson County, Missouri. He completed his B.A. in English at the University of Missouri in Several years later he completed his M.A., again in English, at UMKC. Tom met his wife, Nancy, at Mizzou, and all three of their daughters are Mizzou graduates. In 2003, after 32 years in business, Tom retired and moved back to Kansas City from Chicago. Shortly after dipping into his family s western Missouri history, Tom moved from simple curiosity, to interested researcher, and finally to dedicated, fulltime researcher. The past 11 years have been completely devoted to uncovering and documenting families and communities contained within what became known as the burnt district. The first of his two western Missouri histories, Caught Between Three Fires: Cass County, Mo., Chaos, & Order No. 11, resulted from seven years of research. Last July his second history, Cinders and Silence: A Chronicle of Missouri s Burnt District was published. This history chronicles events along Missouri s western border from 1854 to Tom has carried the stories and history of Missouri s burnt district into over 35 Missouri counties. Cinders and Silence: Order No. 11 and Western Missouri s Burnt District will provide a documented and complete overview of the historical significance of the burnt district. Between 1854 and 1870 Missouri s western border plunged from prosperity to devastation and finally to oblivion. The violence and destruction were unparalleled in American history. This presentation chronicles the burnt district s history while exploring the reason for its rapid disappearance from Missouri s consciousness.

10 Editorial Cartoon of the Month Harper s, June 4, 1864 Jeff Davis: Is dat you, Butler? Is dat you? Is dat you knockin at my door? General Benjamin Butler s record as a political general had been spotty at best. Grant had ordered Butler s Army of the James to cut off supplies to Robert E. Lee by cutting the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad. Butler became bogged down at Bermuda Hundred near Richmond, and was unable to complete his assigned task. This failure coupled with his later failure to take Fort Fisher near Wilmington, North Carolina ended his military career. Member Bob Schultz has created Political Cartoons of the American Civil War, a 52-page book of contemporary cartoons from many sources. Available to members for $10 each (see Bob Schultz at the next meeting) or for $14.95 postage paid. Contact waltb50@charter.net for further details. Page 9
