26th Missouri Infantry
The history of the 26th Missouri was written by Benjamin Devor Dean,
the second commanding colonel of the regiment. This book was
commissioned and written to be distributed at the 4th annual regimental
reunion that took place in Pacific, Missouri, October 3, 1892. The
index from the book is shown below with links to each section
listed. Every section has been divided into the pages as numbered in
the original book, with the exception of the last section, Roster of
Survivors. A PDF file is linked below the index for those who have
Adobe Acrobat Reader and want to download and have a print out of the
history. A word of warning, the PDF file is over 800K in size and not
compressed.
