Synopsis
Known as "The Gateway to the West," Missouri was a departure point for Westward-bound settlers and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Later, Missouri was where Mark Twain launched his steamboating career and the legendary outlaw Jesse James completed his first train robbery? Missouri: An Illustrated History takes a journey through the Midwestern state—hitting historical landmarks that range from the sagas of the Native American cultures to the territorial period, from the Civil War to World War I, from the Civil Rights struggles to the present multi-culturalism? Citing engaging material from individual diaries and news sources, this accessible volume collects more than 80 illustrations, photos, and maps that give readers fascinating visual and literary experience!
