But a fascinating history waits just beneath the surface in the heart of the city, like the labyrinth of natural limestone caves where Anheuser-Busch got its start. One of the city's Garment District shoe factories was the workplace of a young Tennessee Williams, referenced in his first Broadway play, The Glass Menagerie. Downtown's vibrant African American community was the source and subject of such folk-blues classics as \"Frankie and Johnny\" and \"Stagger Lee,\" not to mention W.C. Handy's classic \"St. Louis Blues.\" Navigate this hidden heritage of downtown St. Louis with author Maureen Kavanaugh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 23, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760705536288,"sku":"9781467136839","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/2c8a2bf9f941f6a166ec346851695d66.webp?v=1780187484","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/hidden-history-of-downtown-st-louis-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
