Aptly named
the Show Me State, Missouri has shown the nation its past, present, and future
for Aptly named the Show Me State, Missouri has shown the nation its past,
present, and future for more than two centuries. Representing the state’s 200
year history in a way that is both educational and entertaining, Missouri
Timeline offers a look back even as it looks
ahead to a fabulous future situated perfectly in the middle. As a state,
Missouri blends everything our country has to offer, just the way we like it.
As Missouri recognizes its 200th Anniversary as
a state, it's important to look back at the amazing history that has had an
impact far beyond the boundaries of the Show Me State. From successes in
business, sports, and cultural events, to struggles against Mother Nature and
failures of civil rights, a retrospective study paves an even better path for
the future. This Missouri Timeline highlights the important moments in
Missouri's history that have defined the state and notes the parallels in the
state’s trajectory as only a timeline can. Not long after the first skyscraper
was built in Missouri, Laura Ingalls Wilder moved to southern Missouri where
she wrote about life on the prairie. At the same time Lake of the Ozarks was
filling up, Prohibition was ending, Bonnie and Clyde were having shootouts, and
a golfer from Springfield was winning the first Masters Golf Tournament. This
book allows readers to see Missouri’s defining moments and provides a new
understanding of how it all lines up historically.
Missouri: An
Illustrated Timeline is available wherever books are sold.
