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 sightings. Readers will also meet the characters in St. Louis' turn-of-the-twentieth-century morality play, and discover how local brewers fought prohibition with the help of America's favorite pastime--baseball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jo Allison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493059173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493059171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Globe Pequot Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Jo Allison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049494049023,"sku":"9781493059171","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f575497c-b336-445a-8371-a7b9f388a35f.jpg?v=1685001820","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/storied-scandalous-st-louis-jo-allison-9781493059171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
