Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial and Architectural St. Louis: Illustrated In Presenting to the business men and general public of St. Louis and the West our triennial review of what the great city has accomplished since our last compendium of her resources, facilities and achievements, it gives us pleasure to state that no city in the United States, the most progressive country in the world, can compare with St. Louis in her march to greatness as a mercantile and manufacturing center, and in the arts, sciences and general culture of her people. St. Louis every day of her existence proves herself more and more entitled to her proud position as the metropolis of Missouri and of the mighty West. She leads in commerce, manufactures and mechanics. Her people are enterprising, progressive and liberal. As a commercial center, her railroads and rivers give her a natural pre-eminence that the energy, industry and ability of her merchants have utilized to the best advantage. As a manufacturing point, she furnishes the most eligible sites. Abundant water at a nominal cost and inexhaustible supplies of the cheapest fuel in the world. In matters aesthetic her public museums, libraries and the numerous fine collections of paintings and other works of art in the possession of private citizens, attest to the refinement of her people. It shall be our endeavor in the following pages to present a panorama of what St. Louis has done during the past three years, where she stands at present, and her flattering prospects for the future. In doing this, we shall confine ourselves to a plain, unvarnished statement of facts, backed by authentic statistics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Industries of Saint Louis: Her Relations as a Center of Trade, Manufacturing Establishments and Business Houses There is no luck of evidence of the fact that the spot upon which St. Louis now stands, and the country contiguous to it, formed the habitation, centuries ago, of races now extinct or represented only by a debased progeny, long since transplanted to other climes. The inquiry into the traits and characteristics of the Mound Builders and the measure of their advancement from barbarism, while interesting to the ethnologist or antiquarian, has no material bearing upon the history of St. Louis, which began, so far as the present has any important connection with it, one hundred and twenty-three years ago. The record of the city since then has been one of steady and sturdy growth. Originally established as a fur trading pose, and aspiring to nothing greater for nearly half a century, the town began to develop, after the American occupation, a position as an important distributive point, and to assume, as population and productiveness increased in the vicinity, the place for which she was so eminently lined by her incomparable location and the physical advantages which had been so bountifully bestowed upon her by Nature. Later, by deliberate but sure and substantial advancement, the manufacturing interests of the city grew from small beginnings to gigantic proportions, and the city of to day, one of the greatest, wealthiest and most prosperous on the continent, and the undisputed metropolis of the Mississippi Valley, is the result of the patient but sanguine industry, the sagacious improvement of opportunities, the energy and enterprise of her progressive citizens. AS an appropriate introduction to the presentation of the facts and statistics of the present, it will be proper to briefly sketch a few of the salient features of the city's early history, showing the progressive stages of the wonderful development of a primitive hamlet into a city of the first class. Pioneer Days. DeSoto crossed the Mississippi in 1511: Marquette sailed down it to the mouth of the Arkansas River in 1673, and La Salle explored its entire length in 1682. All these events, with the inspiring narratives of those who participated in them. offered the Stimulus and prepared the way for the settlement of the Mississippi Valley and, as a consequence, of St. Louis, its center and metropolis. St. Louis had its origin in the adventurous and enterprising spirit of a business man, bound on a business errand. The firm of Maxent, Laclede & Co., of New Orleans, obtained in 1762, from the Governor General of Louisiana, a grant of exclusive control of the fur trade with the Missouri and other tribes of Indians inhabiting this region.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Louis: The Future Great City of the World Great cities grow up in nations as the mature offspring of well-directed civil and commercial agencies, and in their natural development they become vital organs in the world's government and civilization, performing the highest functions of human life on the earth. They grow up where human faculties and natural advantages are most effective. They have a part in the grand march of the human race, peculiar to themselves, in marking the progress of mankind in arts, commerce, and civilization; and they embellish history with its richest pages of learning, and impress on the mind of the scholar and the student the profoundest lessons of the rise and fall of nations. They have formed in all ages the great centers of industrial and intellectual life, from which mighty outgrowths of civilization have expanded. In short, they are the mightiest works of man. And whether we view them wrapped in the ames of the conqueror, and surrounded with millions of earnest hearts, yield ing in despair to the wreck of fortune and life at the fading away of expiring glory, or the sinking of a nation into oblivion; or whether we contemplate them in the full vigor of prosperity, with steeples piercing the very heavens, with royal palaces, gilded halls, and rich displays of wealth and learning, they are ever wonderful objects of man's creation, ever impressing with profoundest conviction lessons of human greatness and human glory. In their greatness they have been able to wrestle with all human time. We have only to go with Volney through the Ruins of Empire; to trace the climbing path of man, from his first appearance on the fields of history to the present day, by the evidences we find along his pathway in the ruins of the great cities, the creation of his own hands. The lessons of magnitude and durability which great cities teach may be more clearly realized in the following eloquent passage from a lecture of Louis Kossuth, delivered in New York City: How wonderful! What a present and what a future yet! Future Then let me stop at this mysterious word, the veil of unrevealed eternity.

Book excerpt: A collection of rich artifacts from one thousand years of artistic production in what is now Missouri. Art Along the Rivers marks the two-hundredth anniversary of Missouri's statehood. This exhibition catalogue presents extraordinary objects produced or collected within a 150-mile region around St. Louis, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, furniture, ceramics, metals, and textiles. As a celebration of the cultural and artistic traditions of this region, the catalog looks within--and beyond--the years of statehood to reveal how the region's geography, raw materials, and pressing social issues shaped over one thousand years of rich artistic production. Though these objects have rarely been considered in connection with one another, the catalog brings them into dialogue to establish and celebrate their shared artistic history. Art Along the Rivers serves as the first significant publication to introduce this primary artistic material to a global audience.
