St. Louis Blues
The city of St. Louis is the story of this hour. At the heart of North America, where the great Missouri River joins the Mississippi, it was the gateway to Thomas Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase to Indian territory, the fur trade, the buffalo, the plains, and all the minerals below redefined in the 1800s as the American West. The World’s Fair of 1904 made St. Louis a monument to American progress. It included a village of Filipinos captured by the young US empire in East Asia. Henry James came home from England to have lunch with Mark Twain at that fair. “Meet Me in St. Louis” was the song, the second most famous St. Louis song. But even then the fault-lines were clear before race war exploded in East St. Louis in 1917, and a great American city started disappearing.
