July 2024 Quarterly Meeting (Event)
2:00 pm
First Presbyterian Church of Ironton
We hope you can join us for our July Quarterly Meeting on Sunday, July 21st at 2p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Ironton located at the corner of Reynolds and Knob streets in Ironton. David Dillard will present his program on the role of the Union Provost Marshal and their impact on the lives of the citizens of Southeast Missouri.
In border states like Missouri, loyalties were often divided. The role of the Office of the Provost Marshal, like the one at Pilot Knob, was multifaceted. It could best be described as a combination of a police force, arbitrator, intelligence agency and even a military court. With their authority to override civilian rule, they were many times hugely unpopular with their decisions seeming arbitrary and one-sided.
David Dilliard is an authority on the history of the Civil War and has spent many years researching the war's specific impact in the area of the Arcadia Valley and beyond.
