Excerpt from One Hundred Years of Medicine and Surgery in Missouri: Historical and Biographical Review of the Careers of the Physicians and Surgeons of the State of Missouri, and Sketches of Some of Its Notable Medical Institutions In the production of this work, issued under the auspices of the St. Louis Star, the publishers claim the honor of presenting the first comprehensive history of the origin, development and progress of the medical and surgical sciences in the State of Missouri. With the united co-operation of a carefully selected staff of contributors and the painstaking efforts of the compilers, data, events and reminiscences have been collected and arranged with special regard to their chronological sequence, embracing the development of these fields of science from their earliest periods in the history of this good State and tracing them through the nineteenth century to the present day. To include in one volume the many scattered facts relating to the physicians of Missouri, biographical points of interest, landmarks of medical institutions in the early days of Missouri's development, has involved the exploration of untrodden ground. There have been no works of predecessors in this field of medical chronology to consult, and the editor and publishers realized the difficulties of their task. As a source of information we have drawn freely from the records of the State, from the pages of the early newspapers and medical periodicals, writings of illustrious physicians, now dead, and the reminiscences and recollections of some of our old and much esteemed living medical confreres. We are cognizant of the many shortcomings which this first collection of historical data of medical and surgical importance to the State of Missouri must present, and we most respectfully ask the indulgence of the reader. Whatever credit may attach to this work is due largely to the conscientious work and hearty co-operation of the selected staff of contributors, a list of whom appears on another page. The publishers extend to these gentlemen a grateful appreciation of their valued work. To the generous criticism and the appreciation of the physicians and surgeons of Missouri, and to the interested laity, we commend this work.

This new addition to the popular guidebook series explores women's experiences and the impact of their activities on the history and landscape of St. Louis. When the city was founded, most St. Louisans believed that "a woman's place is in the home," in the house of her father, husband, or master. Over the years, women pushed out the boundaries of their lives into the public arena, and in doing so they changed the face of St. Louis. In Her Place is a guide to the changing definition of a woman's place in St. Louis, beginning with the colonial period and ending with the 1960s. Each chapter explores the experiences of women during a specific time period and identifies the sites of some of their public activities on a map of the city created from historical sources. Along the way, readers will meet such significant St. Louis women as Harriet Scott, Susan Blow, Edna Gellhorn, and Philippine Duchesne and learn about the activities of the Ladies' Union Aid Society, the Sisters of Charity, the League of Women Voters, and the Harper Married Ladies' Club. The book also includes four tours of the St. Louis region addressing the themes of the book and identifying significant buildings, homes, and other key sites. Current photographs will help readers locate the sites on detailed maps. An up-to-date bibliography and resource listing make this an invaluable guide for anyone interested in studying the history of women in the region.
Today's citizens of St. Charles will recognize the names of many early settlers and residents, such as Louis Blanchette, who founded the settlement that would later become St. Charles; St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, who helped found the first school of the Society of the Sacred Heart in America; and Lewis and Clark, who began their expedition here to explore the Louisiana Purchase territory. Later came photographer Rudolph Goebel, who chronicled St. Charles's history for more than 50 years; Jane Crider, advocate for adults with disabilities and cofounder of Boone Center Inc.; and Archie Scott, known as "Mr. Main Street" for his years of dedication to the preservation of the historic district. Included in Legendary Locals of St. Charles are businesspeople, local personalities, authors, and entertainers, and while some of them may not yet be legendary, all of them are notable for their contributions to the St. Charles community and beyond.
