MISSOURI

THE CENTER STATE
1821-1915

By WALTER B. STEVENS

"Every day I become prouder of being a Missourian. Every day I am
gladder that my wife and children are natives of this imperial commonwealth.
Every day I more and more magnify the presence, patriotism and courage of
Thomas Jefferson for adding to the American Republic, without the shedding
of one drop of blood, a domain the richest under heaven."-Champ Clark.
