DOWNLOAD EBOOKSeptember 23, 2005 Trouble had appeared to be Vince Daviss middle name. it had seemed like to hardly anything had gone right for him during his second time around in 2005. He had been a fugitive from justice after having escaped from a mental institution where he had been misdiagnosed and treated badly while being wrongfully confined. He had straightened out that wrong as well as several other trying and sometimes daunting problems with help from his co-workers and the backing of the San Diego Police Chief. With the fear of arrest and re-committal to an institution gone from his mind the stage had been set for him to prove to the world that what he had claimed he had experienced in 2009 wasnt something he had conjured up in an effort to get attention and that he wasnt crazy although he was beginning to doubt his own sanity at times. Then, his entire world collapsed and came tumbling down around him like a house of cards, which would prove to be more difficult to dig his way out of than anything that had come before.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCrossroads of a Continent: Missouri Railroads, 1851-1921 tells the story of the state's railroads and their vital role in American history. Missouri and St. Louis, its largest city, are strategically located within the American Heartland. On July 4, 1851, when the Pacific Railroad of Missouri began construction in St. Louis, the city took its first step to becoming a major hub for railroads. By the 1920s, the state was crisscrossed with railways reaching toward all points of the compass. Authors Peter A. Hansen, Don L. Hofsommer, and Carlos Arnaldo Schwantes explore the history of Missouri railroads through personal, absorbing tales of the cutthroat competition between cities and between railroads that meant the difference between prosperity and obscurity, the ambitions and dreams of visionaries Fred Harvey and Arthur Stilwell, and the country's excitement over the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904. Beautifully illustrated with over 100 color images of historical railway ephemera, Crossroads of a Continent is an engaging history of key American railroads and of Missouri's critical contribution to the American story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Saint Louis: The Future Great City of the World I also remember that I am in the city of St. Louis destined, ere long, to be the greatest city on the continent (renewed cheers) the greatest central point between the East and the West, at once destined to be the entrepot and depot of all the internal commerce of the greatest and most prosperous country the world has ever seen; connected soon With India by the Pacific, and receiving the goods of China and Japan; draining, with its immense rivers centering here, the great Northwest, and Opening into the Gulf through the great river of this nation, the Father of Waters - the Mississippi. Whenever - and that time is not far distant the internal commerce shall exceed our foreign commerce, then shall St Louis take the very first rank among the cities of the nation. And that time, my friends, is much sooner than any one of us at the present time actually realizes. Suppose that it had been told to you any one of you here present, of middle age - within twenty years past, that within that time such a city should grow up here, with such a population as covers the teeming prairies of Illinois and Indiana, between this and the Ohio, who would have realized the prediction? And so the next quarter of a century shall see a larger population west of the Mississippi than the last quarter of a century saw east of the Mississippi and the city of St. Louis, from its central location, and through the vigor, the energy, the industry, and the enterprise Of its inhabitants, shall become the very first city of the United States of America, now and hereafter destined to be the great republican nation of the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOnce a thriving metropolis on the banks of the Mississippi, St. Louis, Missouri, is now a ghostly landscape of vacant houses, boarded-up storefronts, and abandoned factories. The Gateway City is, by any measure, one of the most depopulated, deindustrialized, and deeply segregated examples of American urban decay. "Not a typical city," as one observer noted in the late 1970s, "but, like a Eugene O'Neill play, it shows a general condition in a stark and dramatic form." Mapping Decline examines the causes and consequences of St. Louis's urban crisis. It traces the complicity of private real estate restrictions, local planning and zoning, and federal housing policies in the "white flight" of people and wealth from the central city. And it traces the inadequacy—and often sheer folly—of a generation of urban renewal, in which even programs and resources aimed at eradicating blight in the city ended up encouraging flight to the suburbs. The urban crisis, as this study of St. Louis makes clear, is not just a consequence of economic and demographic change; it is also the most profound political failure of our recent history. Mapping Decline is the first history of a modern American city to combine extensive local archival research with the latest geographic information system (GIS) digital mapping techniques. More than 75 full-color maps—rendered from census data, archival sources, case law, and local planning and property records—illustrate, in often stark and dramatic ways, the still-unfolding political history of our neglected cities.
