Out and about in the Gateway City

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Founded as a humble trading post along the Mississippi River 250 years ago, St. Louis has since grown into a thriving metropolis. It appears to be a calm city, but like the mighty Mississippi, it has powerful undercurrents.Known as the "Gateway to the West," St.Louis was a port city and home to many manufacturing businesses making everything from shoes to ships.St.Louis, though, is perhaps best known for its breweries and distilleries.St.Louis: Out and About in the Gateway City captures the energy of people bustling along the street, dining out and going to movies, hopping a trolley, swimming, picnicking, clip-clopping along in horse and carriage, ice skating, or driving an automobile.It also touches upon issues of the day that had to be overcome--suffrage, the Great Depression, and civil rights, to name a few--and shows the resilient spirit of the people of St.Louis.
