Student research may rewrite Jasper County Civil War history

(AP) — A Missouri State University graduate student's research findings may rewrite the history of the Civil War in Jasper County in Missouri. The graduate student says his research shows white Union soldiers with the 2nd Kansas Volunteer Artillery Battery did not abandon black Union soldiers of the 1st Kansas Colored unit when they were ambushed on the farm on May 18, 1863, as was previously believed. According to Dukes, the surviving soldiers, instead, rallied at a point west of the farm and fought together.
