[edit] why move to Camp Jackson Affair

Needs to be moved. This episode is always called the "Camp Jackson Affair" in the Civil War and Missouri literature. Google books for example hass no references to "St Louis Massacre" in any scholarly book or article. There merely is one ref to "St Louis massacre" in a 1861 New Orleans newspaper headline. See James W. Covington, "The Camp Jackson Affair, 1861," Missouri Historical Review SS (December, 1960) Also: Melting Pot Soldiers: The Union's Ethnic Regiments - Page 41 by Professor William L Burton (1998); Civil War Eyewitnesses: An Annotated Bibliography of Books and Articles, 1986-1996by Garold L. Cole -2000, Page 162; Missouri in 1861: the Civil War letters of Franc B. Wilkie, newspaper correspondent by Michael E Banasik - (2001) - Page 136. Rjensen 03:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
