[edit] Temperament
The harsh unsourced allegations in the "temperament" section should be individually verified or removed. The claimed civilian court trial should have a verifiable record for example, as should the court martial proceedings. The rape allegation should not be here without some sort of reference and some indication of the source so that readers can weigh it.
[edit] Tone and Factual Errors
I did some neutralization of the tone in the Civil War section. There were a number of outright errors such as "state national guard" references. (It was state militia until May 11, 1861, thereafter renamed the Missouri State Guard.) It was also incorrect to state that Price was still "pro-Union" after the Camp Jackson Affair. Biographies show he was Conditional Unionist until the riots in St. Louis. The change is why Jackson appointed him to command the new MSG. Finally, the "St. Louis Massacre" description seems to be the result of recent attempts at renaming and reshaping the event. Red Harvest (talk) 18:04, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
