Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis of the history of Missouri in the 1830's revealed the laissez faire development of the state's economy. The practice of non-interference, however, arose not from design but from circumstances. One important factor was the high level of the emigrants' business and technical knowledge which undoubtedly contributed to their independence. In addition, the state's geographic features encouraged rapid economic growth without necessitating extensive aid or advice from the local, state, or federal government. The technically competent capitalists played a significant role in shaping the state's economy. In St. Louis the Chouteaus', the Prattes', and William Ashley invested surplus capital to initiate or accelerate most endeavors within the state. Lead mining, gun powder manufacturing, the Santa Fe trade, the fur trade, and steamboat transportation flourished because of their investments. In western Missouri, the Aull brothers established numerous mercantile houses, erected mills, developed land, and invested in transportation. In eastern Missouri the Yates, the Colliers and George Garriot did the same thing. Country squires like Daniel Dunklin, Governor of Missouri, and David Thomson, a Kentucky landowner introduced blooded cattle and new strains of plants and founded rural businesses and towns. Missouri capitalists demonstrated the majorcontribution that technical know-how and profit motivation played in the development of the state. Geography provided economic advantages rather than limitations. The location, flow, and gradient of the numerous navigable rivers furnished a built in distribution system requiring only little maintenance. The hard smooth prairie yielded an ideal roadbed for the Santa Fe trail. Forests and easily mined minerals attracted both settlers and capital early in the state's history. Finally, Missouri's western location gave the citizens unlimited access to the resources of the whole West. The development of Missouri, was a complex process. The resolution, therefore, lies not in establishing a single thesis but rather in correlating many. The environment, the heritage of capitalism, the settlers' technical ability, and the geography all contributed to Missouri's economic development in the 1830's.
