| Lone Jack Battlefield Museum and Soldier's Cemetery |
This site represents the impact of the Civil War on this nation’s citizens as it exemplifies the national conflict as well as the deprivations and terror civilians in the Border Counties endured as renegade bands of guerrillas and irregular Union troops preyed on them from 1854, when the Border War started and continued throughout the war years. The constant threat from the numerous skirmishes, the spying of neighbor against neighbor, the irregular practices of draft enforcement and the depredations of the war set a true example of the war of brother against brother. This battle is indicative of the fratricidal nature of the Civil War in Missouri. |

| Across the years that intervene, The thoughts come rushing back Of those who perished on the green At the Battle of Lone Jack The wearers of the honored Blue And those who wore the Grey Each fought for his own best loved cause On that eventful day. Patriots all, and tried and true, The braver who can say, Whether they wore the Blue, Or those who wore the Grey. And side by side they're lying there, The heroes, 'neath the sod, All equal in the common dust, All children of one God. And new decades have heard the tale, Nor honor shall they lack Who wore the Blue or wore the Grey At the Battle of Lone Jack. |
