Beschreibung

Not only the boyhood home of Mark Twain but also the "Crossroads of America," Hannibal, Missouri, is an idyllic river town with a rich history that is 200 years in the making. Hannibal: Bluff City Memories, 1819-2019 is a pictorial chronicle of the town's past--steamboats, Union Depot, picnics at the cave, and the old Mark Twain Bridge--and present--the Folklife Festival, historic floods, businesses, and stately residences. This expanded bicentennial republication of Hannibal, Missouri: Bluff City Memories features all of the images from the original work plus additional photographs.
