Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the rapid rise of St. Louis from its founding by fur traders in the mid-18th century to its position in the late 19th century as a major metropolis and economic powerhouse rivaling the great cities of the East Coast. The author contrasts the initial, conservative, slow-growth mentality of St. Louis's early leaders and business community with the ambitious, progressive spirit that emerged after the Civil War. The book chronicles the leaders and events responsible for this dramatic transformation, emphasizing the vital role played by a succession of major infrastructure projects, most notably the completion of the Eads Bridge and the establishment of a comprehensive system of street railways. The author also discusses the city's financial and industrial development, as well as the establishment of cultural institutions such as the Veiled Prophet organization and the St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall Association. This book provides a fascinating portrait of a city that epitomized America's westward expansion in the 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
