The Makers of St. Louis is a historical book written by Edward B. Waterworth in 1906. It tells the story of the people who played a vital role in the development and growth of the city of St. Louis, Missouri. The book covers the period from the early 1700s to the early 1900s and provides a detailed account of the lives and achievements of the city's most influential citizens.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of St. Louis's history. It begins with a chapter on the city's founders, including Pierre Laclede and Auguste Chouteau, who established the city in 1764. The subsequent chapters cover the city's growth and development, including the role of the fur trade, the steamboat era, and the Civil War.The book also profiles several prominent citizens of St. Louis, including politicians, businessmen, and cultural figures. These include Thomas Hart Benton, the famous artist and politician, and James Eads, the engineer who built the Eads Bridge, which was a significant engineering feat at the time.The Makers of St. Louis is a comprehensive and well-researched book that provides a fascinating insight into the history of one of America's most important cities. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of St. Louis or the development of the American Midwest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
