It begins with a chapter on the city’s founders, including Pierre Laclede and Auguste Chouteau, who established the city in 1764. The subsequent chapters cover the city’s growth and development, including the role of the fur trade, the steamboat era, and the Civil War.The book also profiles several prominent citizens of St. Louis, including politicians, businessmen, and cultural figures.
