Early St Louis origins and old Quebec quilting relics

The text notes St Louis founded in 1764 by Auguste Chouteau at age 25 with fur trading posts and Ligueste orders. It mentions Ursuline nuns of Quebec making porcupine quill boxes before 1650 and teaching embroidery to Indigenous girls, plus a Cleveland exhibit on French Canada. It also cites brighter daytime skies and the 1913 founding of the American Cancer Society.
