Synopsis "Storied & Scandalous St. Louis: A History of Breweries, Baseball, Prejudice, and Protest"
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 sightings. Readers will also meet the characters in St. Louis' turn-of-the-twentieth-century morality play, and discover how local brewers fought prohibition with the help of America's favorite pastime--baseball.
