Names of Boone County Citizens Drafted
The following is quoted directly from The History of Boone County
Missouri by W.F. Switzler originally published in 1882, page 468. Given
Switzler notes I have to wonder if anyone showed up as a result of

THE FEDERAL DRAFT - NAMES OF BOONE COUNTY CITIZENS DRAFTED
On November 14, 1864, there was a draft at Provost Marshal Lovelaces's headquarters in St. Charles, in which one hundred and sixty-four of the citizens of Boone county, some white, some black, drew prizes, and prizes which cost some of them several months' service in the Federal army, and a large number of them from $300 to $750 for substitutes. The apparent deficit of Boone county was 82. To meet this 164, or double the number were drawn. The number to fill the quota of 82 was taken from the list in the order in which they were drawn, excluding of course those whom the examining board might exempt for disabilities, and those who had died, or who since the enrollment, had enlisted in the United States army. The draft was for one year. The following is
