Saint Louis: The Future Great City of the World (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book makes a bold prediction: St. Louis, Missouri, is destined to become the greatest city in the world. The author lays out a compelling argument, drawing from the historical arc of civilization's westward movement. He posits that cities flourish where natural advantages meet human ingenuity and ambition, and St. Louis possesses both in abundance. The author examines the city's strategic location at the heart of the fertile Mississippi Valley, a region teeming with natural resources and poised for unparalleled growth. He argues that St. Louis will become a major manufacturing and commercial hub, due to its access to vast coal and iron deposits, fertile land for agriculture, and a network of rivers and railroads that will connect it to the entire continent. The author draws on examples from the ancient world to the present, showcasing the rise and fall of cities and the inevitable westward shift of power. He weaves in the insights of notable figures like Charles Sumner, Horace Greeley, and General Benjamin Butler, bolstering his claim that St. Louis is uniquely positioned to surpass even the grandest metropolises of the past. The book, ultimately, offers a fascinating glimpse into the optimistic spirit of the 19th century and the boundless faith in America's future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330355091_0
