Books By Mark A. Lause - Author

Mark A. Lause came naturally to an interest in Price's raid. He was raised in a blue-collar Missouri community in the path of the 1864 campaign. He later found that the movements of the 1960s posed important questions about the role of the people in changing the institutions and practices of their society. Attempting to understand these issues drew him into the serious professional study of history, where most of his work has focused on pioneering new approaches to understanding the Civil War as "the Second American Revolution." Today, he is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio. His numerous publications include this book's companion, Price's Lost Campaign: The 1864 Invasion of Missouri. Lause resides in Galesburg, Illinois with Katherine Allen, his wife of forty years.
