Amazon.com Books: St Louis Missouri travel
Many famous people, past and present, have ties to St. Louis. With that in mind, Charles Brennan has tapped into the St. Louis connection and written an insightful guidebook about this midwestern city. With maps and cross-referenced appendixes, Here’s Where gives locals and visitors alike an opportunity to pick a favorite famous person and visit a related site—such as a home, school, church, or restaurant. Brennan pinpoints the apartment on which Tennessee Williams based the setting for his play The Glass Menagerie and the shoe factory where Williams once worked—and where he encountered some of the characters that later appeared in his plays. Brennan identifies the birthplaces of poet Maya Angelou and music legend Chuck Berry and cites the street-corner location where Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra sold newspapers, as well as the restaurant where Berra waited tables before joining the major leagues. Brennan includes more than 160 entries that list anecdotes and interesting facts. The entries range from notable people from the 1800s, for example, Mark Twain, to today’s celebrities, such as singer Sheryl Crow and rap star Nelly. The entries are organized alphabetically; an appendix cross-references the entries by category (movies and television, sports, literature, political figures). Also, each entry is keyed to one of eight maps of St. Louis areas, making it easy to locate the sites.

There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a downloadable walking tour is ready to explore when you are.Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets. In 1874 James B. Eads completed the longest arch bridge in the world, with an overall length of 6,442 feet, across the Mississippi River. He first paraded an elephant across the bridge - more of a superstition than a stability test - and then ran 14 locomotives back and forth to prove its viability. With the first access by rail to Eastern markets, more trains soon met in St. Louis than any other American city. Industry in St. Louis boomed. The town was busy milling flour, machining, slaughtering and processing tobacco. But the biggest industry was brewing which began with a large German immigration in the years after the Louisiana Purchase. By the time of the Civil War there were 40 breweries cranking out the new lager beer that had been introduced in 1842 by Adam Lemp. In 1876 Adolphus Busch became the first brewmeister to pasteurize his beer so it could withstand any climatic change and Anheuser-Busch was soon the first national brewer shipping product in refrigerated railroad cars. By 1904 only New York, Chicago and Philadelphia were bigger cities than St. Louis and the town supported two major league baseball teams, hosted the first Olympic Games outside of Europe and staged a World’s Fair. The city streetscape mirrored the town’s importance with a flurry of massive warehouses, office buildings, and hotels rising from the 1880s through the 1920s. The population would peak at over 850,000. And just as the country was moving west through St. Louis, the town itself was pushing west. As the 1800s wound to a close the business district broke through 12th Street that had been the tradtitional boundary of downtown. St. Louis came here to work in one of the country’s busiest garment districts, to buy the new horseless carriages and to catch a train. But the westward expansion did not stop at 20th Street and inevitably the population of the city continued to move west. No one was making clothes in America anymore, cars were sold in the suburbs and people took planes instead of trains. Today most of the century-old buildings in Downtown West are no longer functioning as they were intended to but our walking tour will begin at one where it has been business as usual for over 110 years...

This installment in the Slow Travels Series explores four of the U.S. Highways as they travel through varied regions of the State of Missouri. U.S. Highway 50 follows the route of the Lincoln Highway through the center of the state, connecting the two largest cities, St. Louis and Kansas City, through the state capital of Jefferson City. U.S. Highway 61 follows the great river, the Mississippi, along the eastern edge of the state. This area includes the territory fought over by the colonial powers of France, Spain, and Great Britain, and the varied settlements which consequently developed. U.S. Highway 66 retraces the Mother Road, also referred to as America’s Main Street and Route 66. This route travels a northeast to southwest path, once named the Old Wire Road for the early telegraph line which connected St. Louis to Springfield and Joplin. U.S. Highway 71 travels the western edge of the state through the violent history of the Civil War, fought mainly between civilian forces of Missouri and Kansas. Missouri’s history has been defined by its varied geography (the height of the Ozarks to the bottoms of the Mississippi) and by the diverse ethnic backgrounds of its settlers.Author: Lyn Wilkerson Kindle Edition: 256 pages Kindle eBook Company: Caddo Publications USA (2009-11-01) (2009-11-01) List Price: $2.99 Amazon Price:

This installment of the America’s Lost Highway series follows the Mother Road, U.S. Highway 66, across Missouri. Starting at the Mississippi River at St. Louis, the highway once traveled south and west, through Rolla and Springfield, to the edge of the central plains at Joplin. This was the main thoroughfare from the Northeast and Great Lakes to the thriving growth of the American Southwest and the glitter of Los Angeles prior to the development of the Interstates. Much of it is retraceable, and this guide will lead you through the history which Route 66 traveled through.Author: Lyn Wilkerson Kindle Edition: 70 pages Kindle eBook Company: Caddo Publications USA (2009-10-09) (2009-10-09) List Price: $0.99 Amazon Price:
