Paperback. Condición: Very Good. America was founded on Hope. Freedom, prosperity, and the possibility of happiness drew people from every corner of the world, people who risked everything on the journey, for a chance to participate in the miracle. This is the story of one city in one specific point in our history trying to have it all. The promise of Saint Louis as the Gateway to the West was about to be fulfilled in 1874. The Eads Bridge, one of the greatest engineering feats of the century, was about to span the Mississippi allowing the railroads to make it the richest, most important city in America. There seemed to be nothing that would stop the destiny of Saint Louis with its Southern charm, Eastern culture, and Western willingness to break all rules in the name of progress. The story of these great expectations and great efforts thwarted is told in the diaries of two Irish immigrants, Betha and Fergal Dunne, who have a financial interest in the bridge as well as a deep interest in their own happiness in family and love and money. The city they live in is referred to by boosters as the Great Hope of the World. Fergal and Betha live on that hope, but find a greater one, an even more American version, that makes their lives worth living.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. From 1840 to 1858 the population of St. Louis increased tenfold as Germans and Irish crowded in among the genteel Southerners, flinty New Englanders, and the equal numbers of free and enslaved African Americans. The country was on the brink of war, and the city, torn between wealthy slaveholders and staunch abolitionists mirrored the great national divide. The richest woman in this city of Victorian propriety was Eliza Haycraft, who could not write her name, but was the proprietor of the most fashionable brothel in the country. After the death of his parents, Fergal Dunne, a young Irish immigrant to St. Louis, is saved from the orphanage, workhouse or worse by a wealthy Unitarian doctor, Henry Graham, as a challenge to prove that the wild race can be "civilized" under the proper tutelage. Fergal tries hard to achieve his sponsor's goals, but finds the life he is offered too sterile for his tastes. When Mr. Tidd, a man who has had some mysterious involvement in Bloody Kansas, arrives as a guest, Fergal finds himself drawn into a plot involving the Haycraft establishment and the Lincoln-Douglass debates about to occur just across the Mississippi. At fifteen, Fergal understands little of these things, but all of them will play a part in his Fate. This item is printed on demand.
