Book Synopsis Fire, Pestilence, and Death by : Christopher Alan Gordon
Book excerpt: In 1849, St. Louis was little more than a frontier town, swelling under the pressure of rapid population growth, creaking under the strain of poor infrastructure, and often trapped within the confines of ignorance and prejudice. A massive cholera outbreak and devastating fire were consequences of those problems-and chances for the city to evolve. Prepare to discover the dramatic events of 1849 St. Louis through the words of the people who lived through them.
