The Story Of Old St. Louis (1914)

The Story Of Old St. Louis (1914) by Thomas Edwin Spencer is a historical account of the city of St. Louis, Missouri, from its founding in 1764 to the early 20th century. The book covers the city's early days as a French fur-trading outpost, its role as a gateway to the West during the Lewis and Clark expedition, and its growth into a bustling river port and industrial center. Spencer also delves into the city's political and social history, including its role in the Civil War and the Reconstruction era. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, maps, and illustrations, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of one of America's most important cities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
