DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Discover the rich history of San Francisco’s coffee culture from its roots in the nineteenth century to today’s celebrated artisanal roasters. San Francisco was booming in the mid-nineteenth century, and along with adventurers seeking their fortunes came sacks of green coffee beans. The old Yerba Buena Cove swiftly filled with ships, and the city emerged as the third-largest coffee port in the United States. What followed was the rise—and local demise—of the “big three” coffee roasters: Folger’s, Hills Brothers and MJB. Specialized Bay Area roasters like Peerless, Peet’s and Blue Bottle sprang up in their wake, while places such as Tosca’s, Caffé Trieste and the Blue Unicorn blazed the way for modern coffeehouses. In Bay Area Coffee, Monika Trobits explores how the humble coffee bean became an ever-evolving stable of San Francisco Bay.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Saint Louis, the Future Great City of the World: With Biographical Sketches of the Representative Men and Women of St. Louis and Missouri In presenting the historical sketch Of St. Louis, I feel a laudable pride, believing that it is the best yet published, and that it will be so decided by the reader. In the history of the city, the greater attention has been given to that dim traditionary period, the record Of which is fragmentary, and which, therefore, requires our efforts to preserve from that decay which follows all events inscribed only in the recollection Of men. The records of our later history as a city, have been too fully and voluminously kept to run the risk of oblivion, and their elabo ration is left to some future historian. The statistics and facts, which set forth the present advancement of St. Louis in her material growth, have been collected with care, and are presented without exaggeration or any unnecessary ornament. In their simplicity they are eloquent of a present full Of grandeur, and a future glowing with brighter promise than the achievements of the past can even measure. In that promise, so plainly to be read, so far on its way to fulfillment, I see the consummation of my great ambition for the city of my home, the city of my ardent hope and love.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Story of Old St. Louis This volume is the result of an effort to present the interesting story of the adventurous lives led by the inhabitants of St. Louis in early times, in a form accessible to all, and in a book of size convenient for use. This story has been told before in bulky volumes that may be found upon the shelves of reference rooms in our libraries, but our people know little of the wonderful life of our early pioneers. Few of our children are acquainted with the heroic history of our forefathers in the Mississippi Valley. They can tell of the struggles and accomplishments of the colonists on the Atlantic seaboard, but they have heard little of the greater struggles by which our own section of the United States was wrested from the wilderness. The epic story of this life of our pioneers is about to be presented in dramatic form in the "Pageant and Masque of St. Louis," for the purpose of arousing our people to pride in the glorious past and to unison of effort in the early accomplishment of yet greater things in the future. This prose story of old days in St. Louis is issued in furtherance of that purpose. That the people may appreciate and enjoy the drama, it is necessary they should know the facts of our history, and something of the kind of people who made St. Louis, what manner of life they lived, how they appeared, what forces they encountered and overcame. To give such basis for the enjoyment of the "Pageant and Masque" is the purpose of this volume. No credit for original research is made by him who has prepared it. He has selected freely, from whatever source was found available, the narratives of events deemed suitable to the purpose.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Saint Louis: The Future Great City of the World I also remember that I am in the city of St. Louis destined, ere long, to be the greatest city on the continent (renewed cheers) the greatest central point between the East and the West, at once destined to be the entrepot and depot of all the internal commerce of the greatest and most prosperous country the world has ever seen; connected soon With India by the Pacific, and receiving the goods of China and Japan; draining, with its immense rivers centering here, the great Northwest, and Opening into the Gulf through the great river of this nation, the Father of Waters - the Mississippi. Whenever - and that time is not far distant the internal commerce shall exceed our foreign commerce, then shall St Louis take the very first rank among the cities of the nation. And that time, my friends, is much sooner than any one of us at the present time actually realizes. Suppose that it had been told to you any one of you here present, of middle age - within twenty years past, that within that time such a city should grow up here, with such a population as covers the teeming prairies of Illinois and Indiana, between this and the Ohio, who would have realized the prediction? And so the next quarter of a century shall see a larger population west of the Mississippi than the last quarter of a century saw east of the Mississippi and the city of St. Louis, from its central location, and through the vigor, the energy, the industry, and the enterprise Of its inhabitants, shall become the very first city of the United States of America, now and hereafter destined to be the great republican nation of the world.
