St. Louis, Missouri — “We arrived in St. Louis on Friday[?] morning Oct 29th. This made but about 60 hours from Louisville, which on the whole was a very quick & pleasant trip. . . . The people here [in St. Louis] are more generous & open hearted than they are in most places I have visited.”, 1847 Nov 6
