It Happened in Missouri, Paperback / softback Book

It Happened in Missouri Paperback / softback

Part of the It Happened in Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

From Dred Scott’s tireless bid for freedom to the Cardinals’ first World Series win, It Happened in Missouri takes readers on a rollicking, behind-the-scenes look at some of the characters and episodes from the Show Me State's storied past.

Find out how a fourteen-year-old boy coordinated the settling of St.

Louis. Discover how a steam engine helped save the inaugural ride of the Pony Express through Missouri. And read all about Harry Truman’s come-from-behind victory over Thomas Dewey in the 1948 presidential election.

These thirty stories include both famous tales, and famous names--and little-known heroes, heroines, and happenings.
