And some of that history has remained hidden. Being the center of politics in the state and possessing a small-town mindset, the city has a dual identity. Burr McCarty turned his humble home and stagecoach stop into a political gathering place. Ferryman Jefferson T. Rogers was elected mayor ten times. Calvin Gunn established the town's first newspaper and was the state's first printer. Join author Michelle Brooks as she details these and more forgotten stories from the capital city's past.

Download or read book Jefferson City Missouri written by Joseph S. Summers and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Created as the seat of government for the State of Missouri, Jefferson City was named in honor of President Thomas Jefferson. Because of its location both on the Missouri River and north of the Mason Dixon Line, the city was a source of political controversy as it struggled for an economic base. Showcased here in over 200 vintage photographs and detailed captions is the history of the City of Jefferson, and how it came to be the capital of the state known as "The Gateway to the West." There were only 30 people residing in the area when Jefferson City became the capital of Missouri in October 1826. Many of the first legislators to drive were housed in tents behind a shack, labeled a "hotel." From these humble beginnings, the city labored to establish a secure economy. Pictured here are the vintage images of the first and second capitol buildings being constructed and ultimately destroyed, the founding fathers of the Commercial Club, and the main commercial strip of High Street.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one begins journeying through the history of the Boy Scouts in Missouri's Capital City you find that there are many wonderful and exciting tales. This journey begins long before the organization was Nationally inaugurated, and extends long after the history that is told in this book. From the local struggles beginning in 1910, through the renewed efforts in 1917-1922, and then the final success in 1923, one finds exciting stories of the WW I Liberty Loan Campaigns, the various service rendered, and the exciting world of Camping and the outdoors. This story is more than just a semi-chronology of events. It tells of the early members and the advancements and growth of the program. Finally it reiterates the values that many in the early days saw in the program; similar to the values that Scouting works towards today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historic tales lie in the shadows throughout Cole County, notably in the vicinity of Russellville, Lohman and Stringtown. Pioneers such as Enoch Enloe found a home near Russellville following a broken wagon wheel while making the journey west in the 1830s. Stringtown has become a forgotten town that was once home to a self-proclaimed doctor who was brutally murdered. Millbrook claims business-minded visionaries such as John Scheperle Sr., who helped establish the legendary Centennial Mill. A few miles north in Lohman, the railroad became the impetus for growth and ushered in a period of relative prosperity. Historian and author Jeremy P. Ämick uncovers many fascinating tales passed down through the years.
