*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018*

I am a docent at the St. Louis Mercantile Library, but not a St. Louis native.  This book helps me greatly when my tours go through materials from that period.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Well-written, must-read for anyone else interested in 19th century American history
  

*by A***  on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2020*

I moved to St. Louis a few years ago and had heard about this book from a student. It is such a treat! So well-written for a public audience. While the book is scholarly in its citations, Gordon does a masterful job weaving together direct quotes, rich descriptions, and vivid story telling. It's so well done that last night when I was putting my four-year-old to bed and he wouldn't sleep, I told him that I would just read my book aloud until he fell asleep (we often do this with whatever book I'm reading since none of them have pictures and are in his words so boring). Well, he was ENTHRALLED. So much so that when he woke up this moring, he asked me to keep reading!

This non-fiction looks at one turning-point year in the history of St. Louis. Each topic: cholera, fire, gold fever, slavery, and crime is presented to hold the reader’s attention. The residents of this volume are shown as real people – with both virtues and flaws.It will become a staple on my research self. And I even learned who some of the street names are derived from.
