And the next time I'll be in the US I definitely want to see the new museum. People here think I'm crazy when they ask "which part of the US would you like to see again most" and I answer "Missouri". Spending almost a year reading nothing but historical books about Missouri can form strange bonds

It's crazy really, though Missouri was " a side show of the big show" it ended up on the third place as far as quantity of battles is concerned, behind Virginia and Tennessee. Which is quite a baffling fact. Thanks for sharing the story!
