Since the late 1800s, St. Louis has been home to dozens of automobile makes and to numerous manufacturers, large and small. In They Will Run: The Golden Age of the Automobile in St. Louis, head down the road of automotive history in the Gateway City, where transportation has always meant power.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"\"><span class=\"\">Many St. Louisans have heard of the famous Moon automobile of the early twentieth century, but what about the Dyke, the Dorris, and the Gardner?

For several decades, until the middle of the twentieth century, St. Louis fielded a second professional team. True, it was mostly a losing team, but it once featured a first baseman who hit .400, a legendary Negro League star, and a pitcher who would go on to throw a perfect game in the World Series. They were the St. Louis Browns-the forerunners of the current Baltimore Orioles and a part of St. Louis&#8217;s rich baseball history.<br \/>\nWheatley is president of the St. Louis Browns Historical Society and the author of \u201cSt. Louis Browns: Story of a Beloved Team.\u201d His new book, \u201cBaseball in St. Louis,\u201d will be published April 1.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>May 21<br \/>\n<strong><span lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Canceled.<\/span> <\/span>The French Colonial Era in Missouri and Illinois<\/strong> by Andrew Cooperman\u00a0<span lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Canceled.<\/strong><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Contrary to the popular imagination, colonial American history is not confined to the eastern seaboard.

A day at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904, meatless meals and hard times during the Great Depression, or knowing Mark McGwire s precise home run count that summer of 1998 become galvanized in our own time lines, while other details fade into the background. In Growing Up St. Louis, hear the stories that stuck with more than 110 native St. Louisans over the last century told by the very people who lived through them. Ranging from joyous to humdrum, and even to grim, these childhood memories offer a glimpse of life in still frame, from the start of the twentieth century to the present day. A woman speaks lovingly of the elephant ears she bought in University City in the 1950s while a future local sportscaster falls in love with sports as he and his dad watch the 1968 World Series. With new and old photographs to accompany the essays, join veteran author Jim Merkel on a journey through ten decades of coming of age in St. Louis. Whether they spark nostalgia or empathy, they will surely provoke commentary about how deeply our tender years impact us for the rest of our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Growing Up St. Louis is the fifth book by Jim Merkel about St. Louis.
