The Mississippi River: St. Louis' Friend or Foe?

James H. Lemly

Business History Review, 1965, vol. 39, issue 1, 7-15

Abstract: Professor Lemly explores the blind loyalty of a city to a river, describes the ambivalence that characterized the city's leaders when railroads offered an alternate means of inter-regional transporty and analyzes the eventual efforts of St. Louis to make the most of both river and rails.
