A History of Missouri and Missourians - A Text Book for “Class An” Elementary Grade, Freshman High School, and Junior High School #271311

Missouri history is rich in interest, instruction, and profit. It is more than romance, it is a study offering high reward to its followers. It is one of the bases for appreciating the value of sound patriotism. It is the greatest developer of man's chief asset — the critical faculty. It furnishes a fund of information from which knowledge grows and wisdom develops. And, finally, it profits the State itself in retaining its citizens and attracting new ones. Missourians are just awakening to the importance of this last.
