This little book of JC history is in our Missouri Authors Collection. I checked it out because I enjoy seeing old photographs of familiar towns, especially if many of the buildings are still standing. That's definitely the case with JC. Covering 1890-1900, the author has compiled many old photos and drawings of JC landmarks, including buildings now in use by state government. Panoramic photos taken from the top of the old Capitol building as well as those of downtown High Street crowded with citizens (almost all of whom are wearing hats!) were the most interesting. 96 pages.
