St. Louis Arch A Ground View by Joel Alves

This is a review of the first 50 years of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial with its centerpiece being the St. Louis Gateway Arch. With all the excellent material available on the Arch, it focuses instead on the area surrounding the Arch, the grounds, its flora and fauna, the Mississippi River, the Cityscape and the area’s Industry. The book is loosely formatted as a travel guide, but natives will find it of local and regional interest.
