I had visited the Truman Library in Independence a few weeks ago so this was especially interesting. The marker reads, "Harry S. Truman delivered campaign speeches at the Court House during his senate campaigns in 1934 and 1940. The 1934 campaign was open in southeast Missouri and New Madrid was one of the early campaign stops. In his 1934 speech Truman developed the themes that would later position him as a leader of the Democratic Party, championing the farmers, workers and the "New Deal" policies of the Roosevelt Administration. The 1940 campaign speech declared that national defense would be his top priority. Truman's second senate nomination was supported by New Madrid County Prosecuting Attorney J.V. Conran, who proved to be a strong ally in that very close Senate primary race. "I am deeply affected that the good people of a part of Missouri most remote from my home town did me such a singular honor," Truman said." The marker does not have a number. It was erected in 2015 by New Madrid County. There is plenty of parking nearby. [Review 1105 of 2026 - 588 in Missouri - 26284 overall]

Southeast of downtown Union City, this Tennessee Historical Commission marker sits in a quiet…read morestretch of town where the traffic thins out and the neighborhood takes over. It's one of those markers that rewards the stop because it hints at how much Civil War activity once moved through what's now an unassuming corner of the state. The setting is rather ordinary which makes the history it points toward feel even more grounded in the everyday lives and landscapes of the era. The marker reads "Located five blocks north, the monument was dedicated on October 21, 1869. Some of the twenty-nine buried here died in training at Camp Brown in Union City, an important rail junction and staging area for the invasion of Kentucky. Others fell in raids such as Forrest's Seventh Tennessee Cavalry's defeat of the Seventh Tennessee Cavalry (Federal) in March 1864." It is marker number 4B-26 and it was erected by the Tennessee Historical Commission. [Review 1112 of 2026 - 619 in Tennessee - 26291 overall]
