The Other Missouri History

The essays in The Other Missouri History explore a wide range of topics in Missouri social history. By dealing with the lives of ordinary Missourians, these pieces examine the effects of significant social and economic change at all levels of society. With a broader scope in Missouri history than previous studies, this book demonstrates how Missourians have been affected by issues of race, class, and gender. This volume will appeal to general readers in Missouri history and in the history of the Midwest, as well as to those who teach courses in history and have sought a supplemental text.
