What is best about this book? The chapters are short and most of the topics interesting.
What is worst about it? The author writes either for or like a relatively bright high school student. I felt like I was reading somebody's homework most of the time. And it was not all "A" work.
But it is worth having around for those occasions when you have a few minutes to kill and need some reading material . . . preferably while sitting.

Fascinating book about events in Missouri history. It covers thirty events or people from 1200 to 1993 in some detail. There is a list of more events with less detail in the back of the book.
Recommend this one for history buffs or any Missourian who wants to expand their knowledge of their heritage.

This was a realy good book. You learn things about the state that you might not have known. Also things that you never knew. The one thing I liked about this book is that most chapters are only four pages long ,yet filled with information. I give this book five stars and would recomend it to any history buff.
