Forest City, 1904 When the Boer War Came To St. Louis BY TED C. HINCKLEY America's latent enthusiasm for celebrating historic centen­ nials by gigantic fairs was first released at Philadelphia in 1876. To sponsor a national exhibition, or exposition as they came to be called, was a staggering task. The same organizational genius that had erected the age's industrial baronies was no less reticent about designing the Centennial Fair, the Columbian Exposition, and the numerous smaller commercial congregations given birth by their success. Philadel- phia's exposition had cov­ Ted C. Hinckley is associate professor of ered 236 acres; the Colum­ History at San Jose State College, San Jose, California.

Naturally it would eclipse the Paris exposition of 1900. Ultimately over eight hundred concessions were granted, of which forty were amuse­ ments, fifty-five restaurants. The remainder were subscribed for novelties such as launches on the lagoons, roller chairs and assorted mercantile booths.1 With a population in 1904 of over half a million, St. Louis ranked fourth in the nation. Few doubted that the city would host a spectacle guaranteed to deflate the windy City. The sum of five million dollars was raised from St. Louis citizens, and the United States Congress extended over ten million dollars in finan­ cial support. It was agreed that the major attractions of the world's fair would be international exhibitions of "art, industries, manu­ factures, and the products of soil, mine, forest, and sea. ." Exposition president, the Hon. David R. Francis, declared, it will be "by far the largest the world has ever seen, it will probably never be equalled in quality."2 The modern international fair was also a by-product of the industrial revolution and world competition for foreign markets. Increasingly, since the Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851, nations had done their best to demonstrate industrial prowess. The Chi­ cago Exposition had dazzled fair-goers by the extensive use made of electricity. Thus St. Louis had to have a Palace of Electricity. There were two features at the St. Louis Forest Park gathering whose full potential few could have grasped. One was a simulated trip to France in a "sub-marine boat"; the other was the presence of actual flying machines. The Wright brothers had made their first successful flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in the pre­ ceding year. St. Louis promised $100,000 in prize money for the daring man who flew the fastest, and most accurately steered his i The author has been assisted in this research by a San Jose State Col­ lege Faculty Grant. The single best one-volume summary of the Exposition is: Mark Bennitt (comp.) , History of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (St. Louis, 1905) . Less useful is the John Wesley Hanson, The Official History of the Fair (St. Louis, 1904) . For statistics on the Exposition see also: James W. Buel, Louisiana and the Fair (St. Louis, 1904-05) .

As the city's ex-Mayor, past governor of Missouri, and one time Secre­ tary of the Interior under President Grover Cleveland, Francis was well-pre­ pared to link up local, state, and federal moneys.

Writing in the Cosmopolitan, John Brisben Walker avowed that "The Worlds Fair at St. Louis furnishes a magnificent example of what mankind may do when it shall substitute united exertion for contention in one great anthem of harmonious effort." He praised the introduction of science into every branch of life.3 A lady visitor gasped, "the passion of this age to bring things near, to . bring the ends of the earth and time together."4 Man's rational strength, the touchstone to all this industrial wealth was not to be eclipsed by sheer showmanship. For the first time in exposition history a building was devoted entirely to education. After all, was it not St. Louis that had introduced the kindergarten to America?5 The Fair managers' emulative instincts went further. America had meritorious scholars as well as great public schools. To remind the world of this fact, the organizers decided to sponsor an International Congress of Arts and Sciences, at which, it was hoped, there might be a representative selection of some of the age's most distinguished minds.

  • City of Lacey Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Survey Results
    APPENDIX D City of Lacey Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan Survey Results Survey Design The survey was distributed as a Google Form that did not track respondents, did not require logins, and did not require answers to any given question. Where possible, the analysis will include the number of answers to a particular question, which is typically a lower number than the number of all responses. Responses submitted on paper versions of the survey went through a data entry process and were recorded in a separate instance of the survey form. Number of All Responses There were 702 responses to the survey that were entered electronically, and 168 responses that were submitted on paper at various Parks and Recreation events, for a total of 870 survey responses. Survey Section 1 of 3 Are you a resident of the City of Lacey? This was a multiple-choice one-answer question. The answers were “Yes” or “No.” 515 out of 863 responses to this question were Yes, for 59.7% of respondents identifying as City of Lacey residents. If you answered “Yes” to the question above, how many years have you lived in Lacey? This was a short-answer question that accepted numbers or text. Of the 515 “Yes” responses to the question above, 476 (92.4%) identified some number of years of Lacey residence. Of those 476, two identified residence outside Lacey city limits and were discounted. Answers were rounded to up to the next whole year. Almost half (46.3%) of the respondents have lived 10 years or less in Lacey – almost a quarter of the respondents (24.8%) have been Lacey residents for 5 years or less.

  • An Early Battlefield Visit Key Battlefields from the Civil War’S First Years 1
    An Early Battlefield Visit Key Battlefields from the Civil War’s First Years 1 Start in Boonville The First Battle of Boonville took place June 17, 1861. Though little more than a skirmish, it is considered by many to be the first battle of the Civil War. The rapid mobilization of Union forces surprised and defeated the secessionists, who abandoned the Missouri River and fled south. A historical marker and interpretive sign are located near 1216 East Morgan St. Boonville was also the scene of three other engagements during the War. Historic Thespian Hall was used as a hospital and barracks. Boonville to Liberty. Go west on I-70 from Boonville. Just a few miles north of I-70 on Hwy K (Exit 89) is Blackwater. Bucksnort Trading Company here has Civil War era clothing and paraphernalia. Continue west on I-70 to Exit 49. Go north on Hwy 13 to Higginsville. Just north of town is the Confederate Memorial State Historic Site, once home to the Confederate Soldiers Home of Missouri. Visit the restored chapel and cemetery and learn about the role the Home played in post-Civil War Missouri. Continue north on Hwy 13 to Lexington The Battle of Lexington, Sept. 17-19, 1861, was the third-largest battle of the War in 1861. Gen. Sterling Price and his Missouri State Guards surrounded and captured Federal forces defending the Missouri River crossing. At the State Historic Site, a video and museum explain how it became known as the “Battle of the Hemp Bales.” The Lexington Historical Museum also has Civil War artifacts.
