Missouri Centennial Salute to Dor othy Purser and Trailblazers
Spanning Missouri history from Marquette and Jolliet’s 1673 voyage to Jefferson City’s 1825 capital shift, the 19th century river trade, Pony Express legends, and Harry Truman’s rise, the piece recalls explorers, settlements, trails, and the state’s gateway role. It notes St Louis, Independence, and Kansas City’s growth, the Louisiana Purchase, and the state’s motto Show Me and name-drops Mark Twain and Civil War loyalties.
