Book Reviews of The World Came to St. Louis: A Visit to the 1904 World's Fair
Book Review: One of the best picture collections on the 1904 fair.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is based on a collection of about 150 pictures of the fair taken by the author's father. The pictures are very good and give a very good idea of the fair to anyone who is truly interested in the fair.The map of the fair ground is interesting too, with its comparison to the present day Forest Park.
In addition, Mrs. Daniels Birk has explained the activities and events at the fair ground in a very smooth manner, from the eyes of a visitor !!
This is not a detailed narration of the fair. I know there were 45 nations represented at the fair. I was especially looking for any mention about a building on East India, but couldn't find anything about it.
A real good book !
Summary of The World Came to St. Louis: A Visit to the 1904 World's Fair
It is essentially the story of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, from its conception in the fertile minds of St. Louis' "city fathers" to the closing night cerermonies on December 1, 1904. It is a thoroughly researched historical document filled with thousands of facts; and yet, unlike many historical works, the book is easy and enjoyable reading.Marketing Books
