Debates of the Missouri Constitutional Convention of 1875 : edited by Isidor Loeb and Floyd C. Shoemaker, Vol. 1-12, Columbia, Mo., State Historical Society of Missouri, 1930-44, all published. (The convention convened on 5 May 1875 and adjourned sine die on 2 August 1875. This edition of the debates was prepared from fifty-seven original manuscript volumes in the custody of the Missouri Secretary of State. Because the original manuscript volumes containing the debates for June 9, 11, 21, 24, 28 and 30 could not be located, the editors substitute a narration comprised of excerpts from the printed journal combined with backup information gleaned from Missouri newspapers of the period. — See prefaces for Vols. 5-7.)
