Offered as a historical set, these three original 19th-century Missouri law volumes document proceedings from the Missouri General Assembly's adjourned sessions in 1859, 1866, and 1871. Each volume is an official government printing and offers valuable insight into the legal and political framework of Missouri during the post-Civil War era.
