Yankee Merchants and the Making of the Urban West: The Rise and Fall of Antebellum St Louis - Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Modern History
Adler, Jeffrey S. (University of Florida)
During the mid-1850s powerful political and cultural forces altered the sources of urban growth in the American West. This book demonstrates that the sectional crisis abruptly transformed St Louis's role in the national economy, redirecting the flow of capital and migrants away from St Louis and toward a smaller western city - Chicago.
