The Commonwealth of Missouri Parts 1-5: A Centennial Record (1876) is a comprehensive historical account of the state of Missouri, written by Chancy Rufus Barns. The book is divided into five parts, each focusing on a different aspect of Missouri's history and development. Part one covers the state's early history, including its Native American tribes and early European explorers. Part two delves into Missouri's role in the Civil War, including the battles fought on its soil and the state's divided loyalties. Part three examines the state's economy, including its agricultural and industrial sectors, while part four looks at Missouri's culture and society, including its education system, religion, and notable individuals. The final part of the book is a collection of statistical data on the state's population, resources, and government. Published in 1876 to coincide with Missouri's centennial celebration, The Commonwealth of Missouri Parts 1-5 provides a detailed and informative portrait of the state's history and development up to that point.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
