thread_title:  Sterling Price's children 

message: The new information on Price's movements in Louisiana is excellent and a most welcome addition to the article, but it doesn't seem to "fit" chronologically in the portion of the article where it was placed.  "In 1864", this section opens--when, in 1864?  From the March date given further down in this section, it seems that all of these activities took place prior to Price's Missouri Raid, hence, I am moving the entire section to a place before that portion of the article. - Ecjmartin (talk) 22:58, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The section discussing Price's role in the struggle over Missouri, and the struggle itself, seem deeply biased and utterly devoid of very important context. 
The article in question paints the picture that the Unionist forces acted without provocation against the states legal militia, and that Price was forced by a "virtual declaration of war" into resisting the Unionists. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Governor and Price both had been in talks with Jefferson Davis for Missouri to join the Confederacy since the fall of Sumter in April, long before the Camp Jackson Afair. These talks concluded with the Confederacy agreeing to send a number of heavy guns to Missouri, guns that were delived the day before the Camp Jackson Afair, to Camp Jackson. It's clear the Price was both aware of, and actively participating in, a conspiracy to drive the Union out of Missouri and force succession long before Lyons "declared virtual war". Further more, as soon as the Price-Harney Truce was agreed to, Price along with the Governor and Lt Governor sent envoys to the Confederacy asking for an invasion of the state to drive out Unionist forces. 
These series of events, in proper context, totally flies in the face of the claims made about Price's politics and intentions prior to the Camp Jackson Afair. He was clearly pro-confederate and painting him as being "forced" by actions of Lyons to support the Confederacy is blatant whitewashing.

replies: text: Agree, the fact that why the militia were at Camp Jackson in the first place isn't mentioned is problematic.   later in the article is also problematic.  It glosses over the fact that from what I've read, historians don't have a very high view of his handling of the Little Rock campaign, which was the primary military action he led after he took over following Theophilus Holmes' post-Battle of Helena illness.
I was reworking this article earlier last winter and left off after the Mexican War; I need to get back to this sometime. Hog Farm  Talk 19:29, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

message: I suggest that a new section be added to the article citing appearances In Popular Culture.  The first entry in this new section should be a reference to Rooster Cogburn's cat. 98.206.87.210 (talk) 02:35, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
