Excerpt from The Forest City: Comprising the Official Photographic Views of the Universal Exposition, Held in Saint Louis, 1904, Commemorating the Acquisition of the Louisiana Territory
The written word fails; the camera alone preserves in any degree satisfyingly the story in statuary, a thousand 'chapters long, of past, present and promise of the Louisiana Territory.
