Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gleanings in Missouri History, Vol. 1 It is Now just ten years since the author began to devote a large portion of his leisure hours (but few at best) ti the study of the history of his native State; and it is almost four years since he began to transfer to paper the result cf this study. At the very outset he was impressed with the paucity of books pertaining to the theme, but he has gathered here and there until a goodly number graces his library shelves - as the list printed herewith testifies. But many of these are scarce or out of print, and only a few are available to the general reader. The writer has been impressed, too, with the fact that comparatively few residents of Missouri have even a cursory knowledge of the history of our commonwealth, yet no State in the Mississippi Valley presents a story of more intense interest. Until recently, no history of our State was ever seen in even the best of our schools. As works of reference, only one or two could be had. and even now there are upon the market only three works pertaining directly to the history of our great State. These facts prompted the writer to publish a series of newspaper articles upon the subject, which are reproduced (with some revision) in this little volume.
