A Missouri Railroad Pioneer

The Life of Louis Houck

Beschreibung

Lawyer and journalist, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Louis Houck is often called the ""Father of Southeast Missouri"" because he brought the railroad to the region and opened this backwater area to industrialization and modernization. Although Houck's name is little known today outside Missouri, Joel Rhodes shows how his story has relevance for both the state and America.
