The state of MISSOURI , where the forest meets
the prairie and the Mississippi River meets the Missouri River, has just
two significant cities. Dominant
St. Louis sits midway down its eastern
fringe;
Kansas City is almost directly across on the western border. The
northwest, home of the Pony Express and outlaw Jesse James, still strikes
up images of frontier times.
Although the first French colonists honored
the claims of local Native Americans, such as the original Missouri, when
the area was sold to the US in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase, the
Indians were driven west by a great rush of settlers. In the 1840s and
1850s immigrants from Germany and Ireland flooded into eastern Missouri.
Outnumbering their pro-slavery predecessors, they swung the balance in
favor of staying in the Union during the Civil War. However, Confederate
guerrilla forces attracted considerable support among slave-owners in the
west of the state. Meanwhile Missouri, and
St. Louis in particular, was
establishing itself as an important gateway to the West. |
