St. Louis History - Missouri History Museum's War Collection
The collections of the Missouri History Museum include some gems the general public rarely gets to see.
Sometimes it's a book or simply the record of a person's life story.
The U.S. Mexican War and the Spanish-American War, they were fought more than 50 years apart, but all these years later are still easily confused.
And the Missouri History Museum has rare documentation of both conflicts including a limited edition book of paintings of the Mexican War, a battle resulting from a dispute over how much of Texas would become part of the United States.
As for the Spanish American War, St. Louisan Frederick Leismann fought in both its theaters. First in Cuba and the second in the Philippines and years later told his firsthand accounts to his son in law who wrote them all down.
Only 500 copies were ever made of the book of Mexican War paintings. And of course only one copy exists of Frederick Leismann's personal account of the Spanish American. Leisman went on to become something of a chronicler himself serving as the Missouri General Assembly's Chief Stenographer.

C-SPAN Cities Tour - St. Louis: History of the St. Louis Brewing Industry
Hear about the St. Louis brewing history. In the early 19th century St. Louis saw a large number of European immigrants, many from Germany, put down stakes in the city. These newcomers introduced their culture, including brewing lager beer, to the new world. Sharon Smith, Missouri History Museum Prohibition Historian, tells the story of Lemp Brewing Company, at one time the largest brewer in St. Louis and how Prohibition brought an end to their success—allowing another St. Louis brewing giant, Anheuser-Busch, to become a St. Louis staple.

Daguerreotypes of the Destruction of a Native American Mound in St. Louis, Missouri (1850s/1860s)
A collection of daguerreotypes showing the gradual destruction of the burial mound known as Big Mound which was built by Native Americans of the Mississippian Culture between 1000-1450 CE in what is today St. Louis, Missouri. The dirt from the mound was used to build the North Missouri Railroad along the Mississippi River. The photos were taken between 1852-1869 by photographer Thomas Easterly.

St. Louis Gateway Arch Museum Opens with Exhibit Featuring Latter-day Saint History
When it comes to Latter-day Saints and Missouri in the 1830s, thoughts often go to the infamous 1838 extermination order issued by Governor Lilburn W. Boggs. A less familiar but more redeeming story, however, is that Latter-day Saints had friends on the other side of the state. St. Louisans defended Latter-day Saints and the city played a key role in their later migration to Utah.
This history, along with many others from the westward expansion of the United States, is being told at the renovated Gateway Arch Museum in St. Louis. The museum, located under the iconic arch, has undergone a state-of-the-art update to the 40-year-old museum’s aging materials and general history of the American West. The new exhibitions chronicle 200 years of history with valued artifacts and audiovisual materials and is focused specifically on the city’s role in the nation’s westward growth.
“We're very, very excited about our new museum experience,” says Bob Moore, a historian with the U.S. National Park Service. “It’s something that people will enjoy on a lot of different levels.”

St. Louis is a major city in Missouri along the Mississippi River. Its iconic, 630-ft. Gateway Arch, built in the 1960s, honors the early 19th-century explorations of Lewis and Clark and America's westward expansion in general. Replica paddlewheelers ply the river, offering views of the arch. The Soulard district is home to barbecue restaurants and clubs playing blues music.
St. Louis, the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, is a major midwestern metropolis filled with culture. St. Louis planners have created an aesthetically beautiful city with green space at the street level. It is said that St. Louis is second only to Washington, D.C. in the number of free activities available in an American city. The Gateway Arch, the world's tallest man-made monument, forms a triumphant city skyline. An open mall surrounded by reflecting pools leads up to the historic court house, the site of the Dred Scott decision, facing the Gateway Arch.
The city is named after King Louis IX of France. St. Louis is known by the nickname of The Gateway to the West. The city was the last major stop before pioneers journeyed Westward to the Pacific coast. The city also played a large part during the steamboat era due to its position at the confluence of the Mississippi River and the Missouri River. St. Louis was acquired from France by the United States during President Thomas Jefferson's term in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. The transfer of power from Spain was made official in a ceremony called, Three Flags Day. On March 8, 1804, the Spanish flag was lowered and the French one raised. On March 10, the French flag was replaced by that of the USA. In 1904, St. Louis hosted that year's World's Fair and the Summer Olympic Games. Many of the parks, buildings, and finer homes in St. Louis were built around this time period. While there are few, if any, living residents who attended the Fair, it holds an important place in the modern development of the city.
Slide into St Louis and revel in the unique vibe of the largest city in the Great Plains. Beer, bowling and baseball are some of the top attractions, but history and culture, much of it linked to the Mississippi River, are a vital part of the fabric. And, of course, there's the iconic Gateway Arch that you have seen in a million pictures; it's even more impressive in reality. Many music legends, including Scott Joplin, Chuck Berry, Tina Turner and Miles Davis, got their start here and jammin' live-music venues keep the flame burning.

1904 St. Louis Worlds Fair Then and Now
What's left from the 1904 world's fair in Forest Park. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, informally known as the St. Louis World’s Fair, was an International Exposition held in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, from April 30 to December 1, 1904. Held in what is today Forest Park, my favorite park, and a lesser-known fact the third Olympics was held at Washington University at the same time.
