M! On, miaaqopi, HJ On What scenes Old Man River has witnessed! The gayly clad adventurous Spaniard searching for gold, the somber coated missionary administering to the red skins, the trap- per and trader exhibiting his beads and bits of bright colored cloth, the singing shouting roustabouts, assisting with the cargoes, the wealthy merchant bringing his wares from a southern plantation, the slaves going to distant markets, all these and many more Old Man River has seen, and yet he just rolls along. How the styles and fashions of boats have changed as they floated up and down the Father of Waters! Long ago the red man paddled along in his canoe or mackinaw, the trapper pushed his bull boat up stream with long poles, the merchant floated down the river on his raft: the pioneer with cordelle, sail, and poles pulled his keel boat up stream. And then came the steamboat. First, there was the Zebulon M. Pike , its engine fed with wood and its oil lamps burning dimly. Then came the golden age of steamboating with cargoes of furs, skins, buffalo hides, grain, tobacco, etc. And today we have the motor boats, air-cooled, luxurious, and brilliantly lighted, carrying hundreds of pleasure seeking passengers. All these changes have taken place, but still Old Man River rolls on. The seasons have come and gone, bringing with them snow, rain, droughts, and floods. General Lafayette, Daniel Webster, Charles Dickens, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain and scores upon scores of other famous men have journeyed on the Mississippi. Artists have painted its beautiful shores. Engineers have spanned its waters with bridges. And yet Old Man River just rolls along. Great scenes in history have been enacted on the shores of the Mississippi, the greatest of which was the transfer of the Louisiana Territory. The river has always played a sig- nificant part in the life of our city from the very founding of the little fur trading settlement to the present time. It was from St. Louis that Lewis and Clark started on their expedi- tion and it was to St. Louis that they returned. It is fitting that that section of St. Louis, the riverfront, which tells such a stirring story of the West, be set aside as a memorial to the past, and that the section be called The jefferson Memorial Plaza after the president who was responsible for the Louisiana Purchase. All these events have taken place, and more, but the Mississippi just rolls on. People will again come to the banks of Old Man River to talk over the past and prophesy the future. Here where stood the homes of the early Frenchmen will be a monument to the past. The only remaining buildings will be the Old Cathedral, the Rock House, and crowning the hill, the Old Courthouse. All will be changed but the Mississippi will still just roll on. 23 Photographs by Puaget Studios
