Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a book of dates. It does not abound in statistics. It avoids controversies of the past and prophecies of the future. The motive is to present in plain, newspaper style a narrative of the rise and progress of St. Louis to the fourth place among American cities. To personal factors rather than to general causes is credited the high position which the community has attained. Men and women, more than location and events, have made St. Louis the Fourth City. The site chosen was fortunate. Of much greater import was the character of those who came to settle. American history, as told from the Atlantic seaboard points of view, classed St. Louis as "a little trading post." The settlement of Laclede was planned for permanence. It established stable government by consent of the governed. It embodied the homestead principle in a land system. It developed the American spirit while "good old colony times" prevailed along the Atlantic coast. Home rule found in St. Louis its first habitat on this continent. This is volume two out of four, continuing the historical review from the founding of the town to its great days.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 1134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Louis, History of the Fourth City, 1763-1909, Vol. 2 Through his efforts a bill was passed in the United States congress quieting title to four sections Of land which had been in dispute for sixty years, while he was responsible for'.the introduction by General John A. Logan, then United States senator, Of the bill for the erection Of the finely equipped Army and Navy Hospital now in Operation on the government reservation at Hot Springs. In addition to his efforts in exploiting the section Mr. Fordyce aided in financing the leading hotels, opera house, water, gas and electric light works, street rail road system and other public enterprises and also financed and had constructed the first cotton compress at Dallas and at Dennison, Texas. Though such an active factor in advancing the welfare Of Arkansas, Mr. Fordyce found opportunity to broaden his Operations and soon became identified with the building and Operation Of a great network Of railroads in the south and southwest. The number of important enterprises which claimed his attention is a significant index to the ability and forceful character of the man. The greater part Of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company was built under the man agement of Mr. Fordyce and for sixteen years he resolutely maintained and developed the property in the face of repeated setbacks, steadily overcoming each Obstacle with the sturdy courage of his Scotch ancestors. Some idea of his labors in this connection may be gained from a recapitulation of his services; vice president and treasurer Of the Texas St. Louis Railway for the three years ending April, 1885, receiver, April, 1885 May, 1886, president Of the same road reorganized under the name Of the St. Louis, Arkansas Texas Railway, from 1886 to 1889; receiver, 18891-1890, president, under the new title of the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company, from 1890 to 1898.

Download or read book Mapping Decline written by Colin Gordon and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a thriving metropolis on the banks of the Mississippi, St. Louis, Missouri, is now a ghostly landscape of vacant houses, boarded-up storefronts, and abandoned factories. The Gateway City is, by any measure, one of the most depopulated, deindustrialized, and deeply segregated examples of American urban decay. "Not a typical city," as one observer noted in the late 1970s, "but, like a Eugene O'Neill play, it shows a general condition in a stark and dramatic form." Mapping Decline examines the causes and consequences of St. Louis's urban crisis. It traces the complicity of private real estate restrictions, local planning and zoning, and federal housing policies in the "white flight" of people and wealth from the central city. And it traces the inadequacy—and often sheer folly—of a generation of urban renewal, in which even programs and resources aimed at eradicating blight in the city ended up encouraging flight to the suburbs. The urban crisis, as this study of St. Louis makes clear, is not just a consequence of economic and demographic change; it is also the most profound political failure of our recent history. Mapping Decline is the first history of a modern American city to combine extensive local archival research with the latest geographic information system (GIS) digital mapping techniques. More than 75 full-color maps—rendered from census data, archival sources, case law, and local planning and property records—illustrate, in often stark and dramatic ways, the still-unfolding political history of our neglected cities.

Download or read book Reclaiming Jacksonville written by Ennis Davis and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-25 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Jacksonville has hundreds of buildings that have withstood the test of time. Yet these lasting landmarks tell only a portion of Jacksonville's history. Dozens of other buildings have been abandoned and left to wither, turning into shadows of their former grandeur. Each place has a rich and storied history that belies modern appearances, like the Annie Lytle Elementary School, now known as the most haunted landmark in the city, and the Jacksonville Brewing Company, which had to come up with a creative way to stay afloat (think ice cream) when Prohibition hit. Join local writers Ennis Davis and Robert Mann as they go behind the scenes of fourteen crumbling but ethereally beautiful structures to reveal their true pasts. Enhanced with stunning color photography, Reclaiming Jacksonville is a must-have for every resident of the River City.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 1116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Louis History of the Fourth City, 1763-1909, Vol. 3 Mr. Judson, however, is not learned in the law alone, for he has studied long and carefully the subjects that are to the statesman and to the man of affairs of the greatest import, - the questions of finance, political economy, sociology, and has through clear and logical utterance presented his views from the lecture platform, being many times called upon to address public gatherings. In 1887 he addressed the Commercial Club of St. Louis upon the subject, What Shall the State Teach? The following year spoke before the Missouri Bar Association on The Rights of Minority Stockholders in Missouri, in 1890 he presented to the Commercial Club of St. Louis The Relation of the State to Private Busi ness Associations, and in 1891 spoke before the American Bar Association upon The Liberty of Contract Under the Police Power. His address 011 Justice in Taxation as a Remedy for Social Discontent was given before the Round Table Club of St. Louis in 1898, and in 1900 he addressed the American Economics Association on the Taxation of quasi-public Corporations. The above list is sufficient to indicate somewhat of the extent of his researches and investigation. Few men delve so deeply to the root of the matter, and his summary of a situation is always clear, concise, logical and convincing. He was chairman of the national conference on taxation in 1901 and delivered an address upon the Taxation of Mortgages. He also delivered an address at the quarto-centennial of the University of Colorado in 1902 on the Quarter Centennial in American Jurisprudence. Mr. Judson has always declined' candidacy for public office and, while sympathizing with the historic traditions of the democratic party, has been inde pendent in political action, deeming that political parties are only agencies for the public good. He has always been active as a citizen in the discussion of public questions. He is in favor of a stable currency and sound financial sys tem, opposing the silver movement in the campaign of 1896, and was delegate from the Merchants' Exchange of St. Louis to the historic monetary conferences at Indianapolis.
