Goslin's Lane Mass Grave

Picture
  Goslin's Lane was the site of an unfortunate event between Missouri Guerillas and the Missouri State Militia. It consisted of a Union supply train headed south from Sturgeon on its way to Rocheport, stocked with quartermaster supplies for troops in Boone and surrounding counties. This was a prize to be had for the Guerillas, who would later attack Fayette and Centralia under false wardrobe of the Federal Uniforms. This lesser known site still holds its original features of the historic lane and barn, as well as the mass grave that holds its victims.

The Tiger Camp #432 is currently doing research to have the graves marked that lay on private property. As well as keep the memory of those who fell alive with their stories.

General FISK, Glasgow.

ROCHEPORT, September 24, 1864.

Colonel Matthews' escort of eighty men for baggage train was surprised late yesterday evening seven miles northeast from this place. Twelve of his men were killed on the ground and quite a number are yet missing. The entire train, consisting of quartermaster and commissary stores and all his ammunition, was captured. The rebels were said to be commanded by the two Todd’s, Anderson, and Gooch, numbering 300 men. On receiving news of the fight, I sent the First Iowa and part of the Third Missouri to the scene of action. They arrived in the night and remained on the ground, and Colonel Draper having arrived I ordered him out at 3 o'clock this morning with 250 men, making the whole Federal force about 350. The rebels moved west into Howard County toward the river. We are out of commissary supplies; send us some by first boat.

J. B. DOUGLASS, Brigadier-General.
