General Editor, Rebecca B. Schroeder
Each Missouri Heritage Reader explores a particular aspect of
the state's rich cultural heritage. Focusing on people, places,
historical events, and the details of daily life, these books
illustrate the ways in which people from all parts of the world
contributed to the development of the state and the region. The
books incorporate documentary and oral history, folklore, and
informal literature in a way that makes these resources accessible
to all Missourians.Intended primarily for adult new readers, these books will also be invaluable to readers of all ages interested in the cultural and social history of Missouri.
