Book description
At the turn of the twentieth century, St. Louis, Missouri, was the fourth largest city in the country. For years, it was the westernmost metropolis, known for its manufacturing, beer, railroad hub, music, baseball, World's Fair, and its romance with the Mississippi. This collection of shocking stories ripped from the headlines of the Gateway City's seamy past includes tales of cholera epidemics, deadly newspaper-daily duels, ragtime racism, and Spiritualism scuffles. Readers will also meet the formative female figures behind the women's suffrage movement in St. Louis, and discover how local brewers fought against Prohibition with the help of America's favorite pastime-baseball.

ListenBook's support for various download methods and audio formats ensures that I always have access to my favorite content. ListenBook's library organization keeps my audiobooks neat and accessible. A true organizational lifesaver! Auto-rewind is incredibly helpful. Excellent functionality. Good but not great.

It adds a personalized touch to my listening. Binaural audio processing is a game-changer β my ears stay comfortable during long listening sessions. Automated artwork and metadata extraction make my library look organized and visually appealing. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste.
