Texas memories of a St Louis autumn visit
Boyce House presents memories of St Louis in autumn 1950 with notes on Lincoln's hotel site turned parking lot and the city cemetery's replacement. It highlights Shaw Gardens platter lilies and the eight foot tropical pitcher plant, plus library border carvings and Camp Jackson, all seen through a travelogue lens. The piece closes with local social notes and a sports column header from the San Antonio Express.
