At the turn of the Twentieth Century, St. Louis, Missouri, was the
fourth largest city in the country. For years, it was the
westernmost metropolis, known for its manufacturing, beer, railroad
hub, music, baseball, World's Fair, and its romance with the
Mississippi. This collection of shocking stories ripped from the
headlines of the Gateway City's seamy past includes tales of
cholera epidemics, deadly newspaper-daily duels, ragtime racism,
and Spiritualism scuffles. Readers will also meet the formative
female figures behind the women's suffrage movement in St. Louis,
and discover how local brewers fought against Prohibition with the
help of America's favorite pastime-baseball.
