Book Description:
|
A prize-winning cultural geographer traces the evolution of a city that has developed over 200 years from a cowtown on the bend of the Missouri River into a metropolis straddling two states. Explores the changing character of the community and its component neighborhoods, showing how the city has come to look and function the way it does--and how it has come to be perceived the way it has.
