The first American Olympics, held in 1904 in St. Louis, were a
vigorous spectacle suited to an energetic and confident nation. The
games were wrested away from rival city Chicago and appended to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition World's Fair. Athletes came from
eleven countries and four continents to compete in state-of-the-art
facilities, which included a 10,000-seat stadium with gymnasium
equipment donated by sporting goods magnate Albert Spalding. St.
Louis Olympics, 1904 corrects common misperceptions and presents a
fresh view of the games that featured first-time African American
Olympians, an eccentric marathon, and documentation by pioneering
photojournalist Jessie Tarbox Beals.
