Book excerpt: Admitted to the Union in 1821 as the 24th state, Missouri is rich with the lore of American history. Within and along its borders flow two great rivers, the Missouri and the Mississippi, which gave birth to two great cities, Kansas City in the west and St. Louis in the east. The state gave the nation Mark Twain, Harry Truman, and Rush Limbaugh. Lewis and Clark embarked on their expedition to the Pacific from St. Louis, which became the Gateway to the West for the settlers who followed. In Historic Photos of Missouri nearly 200 photographs reproduced in vivid black-and-white, with captions and introductions, show the reader the places, people, and events that helped shape the history of the Show-Me State, from the early decades of photography in the 1870s to recent times in the 1970s. Included in this wide-ranging compendium are vignettes of Ulysses Grant's Hardscrabble, the Gateway Arch, a horse-powered river ferry, cotton pickers in the Bootheel, the 1904 World's Fair, Whiteman Air Force Base, the Lake of the Ozarks, an early Ozark Opry, the St. Louis Browns, the first capitol at Jefferson City, Ste. Genevieve and other towns as they looked in a bygone era, and countless other subjects. This book is your resource of convenience for well-known and not-so-well-known highlights of Missouri history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Joseph, Missouri, was a well-known portal to the West from the Eastern United States. By the end of the Victorian era, at the turn of the 20th century, St. Joseph had grown into a wealthy city. Industries began to flourish, including catalog, manufacturing, and warehouse businesses, gradually making the town not only a stopping point for the exhausted and hungry traveler, but also an attractive destination in its own right. These industries left a vast collection of photographic postcards behind, and some of the most interesting ones have been included in this photo album of the area's past. Focusing mainly on St. Joseph's architecture of the early 1900s, this book brings the older St. Joseph back to life and highlights the major events of the early 20th century. Many of the pictures in the book originate from Marshall White's private collection. The Robidoux Row Museum and Cole Woodbury have also generously allowed their photographs and postcards to be used.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographer O. N. Pruitt (1891–1967) was for some forty years the de facto documentarian of Lowndes County, Mississippi, and its county seat, Columbus--known to locals as "Possum Town." His body of work recalls many FSA photographers, but Pruitt was not an outsider with an agenda; he was a community member with intimate knowledge of the town and its residents. He photographed his fellow white citizens and Black ones as well, in circumstances ranging from the mundane to the horrific: family picnics, parades, river baptisms, carnivals, fires, funerals, two of Mississippi's last public and legal executions by hanging, and a lynching. From formal portraits to candid images of events in the moment, Pruitt's documentary of a specific yet representative southern town offers viewers today an invitation to meditate on the interrelations of photography, community, race, and historical memory. Columbus native Berkley Hudson was photographed by Pruitt, and for more than three decades he has considered and curated Pruitt's expansive archive, both as a scholar of media and visual journalism and as a community member. This stunning book presents Pruitt's photography as never before, combining more than 190 images with a biographical introduction and Hudson's short essays and reflective captions on subjects such as religion, ethnic identity, the ordinary graces of everyday life, and the exercise of brutal power.

Book excerpt: Hannibal, Missouri, founded in 1819 on the Mississippi River, has come a long way from its humble beginnings when it was home to only 30 residents. During the late 1800s, millions of feet of lumber were processed in its mills. By 1905, Hannibal had become a major rail hub, with over 50 passenger trains arriving daily. Today, Hannibal honors the memory of its most famous citizen, Mark Twain, and thrives on the legacy of the everyday people who built this idyllic river town. With over 200 historic photographs, Bluff City Memories explores the town that Twain made famous. These images recall festivals, floods, fires, and buildings that are now long gone. They also document events such as President Theodore Roosevelt's speech to a crowd at Union Station in 1903, and the aftermath of a shootout involving 1930s desperado John Dillinger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply divided border state, heir to the “Bleeding Kansas” era, Missouri became the third most fought-over state in the war, following Virginia and Tennessee. Rich in resources and manpower, critical politically to both the Union and the Confederacy, it was the scene of conventional battles, river warfare, and cavalry raids. It saw the first combat by organized units of Native Americans and African Americans. It was also marked by guerrilla warfare of unparalleled viciousness. This volume, the ninth in the series, includes hundreds of photographs, many of them never before published. The authors provide text and commentary, organizing the photographs into chapters covering the origins of the war, its conventional and guerrilla phases, the war on the rivers, medicine (Sweeny’s medical knowledge adds a great deal to this chapter and expands our knowledge of its practice in the west), the experiences of Missourians who served out of state, and the process of reunion in the postwar years.

This book was released on 2014-10-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of Fulton, Missouri 1920 -1960, using transcribed newspaper articles, contemporary records, and vintage photographs from the collection of the Kingdom of Callaway Historical Society. Includes chapters on Helen Stephens, the "Fulton Flash" who broke world records at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, chapters on Winston Churchill's visit to Fulton in 1946 and complete text of his "Iron Curtain" Sinews of Peace address, thought by historians to be the beginning of the cold war. Includes a chapter on the Metz brothers coal mine disaster in 1936 that killed four brothers, three who went down the shaft to save the first. Another chapter details the 1936 beating and torture of elderly black farm laborer, Bill Howe, by three white robbers from St. Louis, and the intensive two year effort by Howe's white neighbors and the Callaway Sheriff's Department to hunt down, convict, and punish those three white men. The growth and problems of Fulton's State Hospital No. 1, Missouri's largest institution for the mentally ill is followed through the forty year period. Early coal mines, the firebrick industry and the shoe manufacturing factories are chronicled with pictures of employees and stories about strikes, protests, and layoffs. This history tells the story of a town, primarily through direct transcription of events reported in the newspapers of the time.
