Burbridge posted by Clem Papineau on July 17, 2001 at 14:49:34: Clem: John Burbridge was a former officer of the Missouri State Guard who commanded a regiment at Wilson's Creek in August, 1861. We did a living history program on that unit last summer; most of the information we assembled for that is still on-line at http://www.geocities.com/burbridgebn. The Missouri MOS&B's handbook, "Sterling Price's Lieutenants" will have more information on Burbridge himself, including an abstract of his service record. Burbridge's regiment (1st Infantry, 3rd (Clark's) Division, MSG) is also discussed in the recent book by Rick Hatcher and W.G> Piston, "Wilson's Creek: The Second Battle of the Civil War." Tom
