Castle Rock,
on the Osage bottoms at its main western bend in this county, was a beautiful
site for a town; it was founded a few years before the war, by the brave
Col. George w. Boomer, of the Twenty-sixth Missouri Volunteer Infantry,
who intended to make a representative place of it, and soon secured a large
mill, a furniture factory, stores, hotel, church and school. At the
outbreak of the war it had assumed considerable proportions. His
acceptance of the colonelship of "the brave little Twenty-sixth," and his
fall in battle, was the signal for the ruin of his town, which fell as
quickly as it rose. The first post route was the courier post between
the capital and the metropolis of the State. (17)
Shown as Rock Castle on 1861 map. In the fall of 1861, Col. George B. Boomer of Castle Rock recruited, from the Home Guards, the Twenty-sixth Missouri Volunteer Infantry. 1873 Post Road -
