The Provost
Marshal Papers for the state of Missouri are part of Record Group 109, War
Department Collection of Confederate Records in the National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA). Although they are records of the Union Army, they
were associated with Confederate records in the War Department because they
relate, in part, to Confederate citizens and sympathizers. The National Archives
refers to this collection as Union Provost Marshals’ File of Papers Relating
to Individual Citizens. This national collection is three hundred rolls of
microfilmed documents, 1861-1866. The online database created by the Missouri
State Archives is an index of the Missouri portion of the collection.
There are
similar documents that refer to more than one citizen, Union Provost
Marshals’ File of Papers Relating to Two or More Civilians. On the 94
rolls of this microfilm publication are reproduced a series of documents dated
1861 to 1867, each of which pertains to two or more civilians. The series
was assembled in the War Department from documents that were extracted from the
files of the Union Army provost marshals and from other records of Army
territorial commands. The documents here reproduced relate to civilians,
or “citizens,” as they were called during the Civil War, who came in contact
with the Army.. They included correspondence, provost court papers, lists
of prisoners, orders, passes, paroles, oaths of allegiance, transportation
permits, and claims for compensation for property used or destroyed by military
forces.
The microfilm
collection contains thousands of pages of documents detailing the way the
provost marshal affected the lives of Missouri citizens who came into contact
with the Union Army. The office of provost marshal generated much paperwork
which offers a unique look at a state divided in loyalty and beliefs, and the
war society that resulted. Far from being solely a resource for military
research, the provost marshal papers provide information about the role of women
during the war, its effect on Missouri’s slavery institution, and the
difficulties experienced by war refugees.
The documents on film include
correspondence, provost marshal court papers, orders, passes, paroles, oaths of
allegiance to the United States, transportation permits, and claims for
compensation for property used or destroyed by military forces. Charges could be
initiated by anyone, civilian or military. Statements by accusers or witnesses
were taken down as evidence; citizens could be arrested, however, simply on
suspicion.
