The Great Seal of Missouri Disappears
Published 2 days, 6 hours ago
Description
In a wild twist of Civil War history, Missouri’s Great Seal vanished when secessionist Governor Claiborne Fox Jackson fled south in 1861, sparking a decades-long saga. The Union-leaning Hamilton Gamble took over, but the real seal stayed with rebels until 1869 — when exiled secessionist Thomas Caute Reynolds finally returned it to Governor McClurg, sealing a chapter of Missouri’s fractured past in one small, stolen object.
