Cool stuff...my brother and me was talking about these old St. Louis documentaries the other night. I knew they had a few of them from the 1960s and brought to us by our local gas company and PBS...
Boston born I hadn't seen anything about this area of the USA, it's interesting and some of the images are amazing, now that I'm an old man it's funny how your perspective about time changes, now I look at a 100 years differently than when I was young.🇺🇸
1859. Seaport of the west is not jive with the building of the Eads bridge. Human beings couldn't even get across the river until the bridge. unless it was a fairy. So this is sort of all the contacts in mixed.
I don't understand. The Eades bridge wasn't completed until 1864. Is this entire video about East St. Louis in Illinois. Illinois Town. And then these folks out of context took pictures they were way after the 1870s that had the courthouse? St Louis basically did not exist until Jim Eades and his guarantee that he could build a fucking bridge. yes, JP Morgan threw some money on top of Andrew Carnegie's absolute gamble, but Andrew Carnegie was completely right and so was Jim Eades. James Eades. All after the Bridge?
I grew up In awe of steamboat. I drew quite a few of them. I thoughly enjoyed this video.
My Great Great uncle Robert Fulton invented the Steamboat his Parents emigrated from Ireland his Sister Anne Fulton ' my Great Great Grandmother.
Absolutely fascinating documentary from another time, about an even older time.

“The old St Louis is in ruin and no one cares!” Boy, nothing changes, does it?
