This beautifully photographed and illustrated book explores in-depth Lewis and Clark's time in Missouri through journal excerpts, one-of-a-kind maps made by nationally known geographer James Harlan that locate the Corps of Discovery's campsites, and an along-the-river guide for travelers who wish to explore the historic towns, state parks, and other points of interest. Individual chapters also probe the river then and now, the Native Americans then in the state, the fur trade at the time, the last European settlement on the river, and contemporary flora and fauna of Missouri. The return journey through the state, when the men were speeding homeward, is also included.

Missouri River Country

Burkhardt, Daniel A.

Interior designer Kelee Katillac is widely known for her incomparable mix of color, couture, pop culture, and history. In Historic Style, Katillac reimagines what preservation can be with a renegade attitude and Mick Jagger style. Working with historical patterns from Adelphi Paper Hangings, Katillac boldly recolors period wallpapers as an homage to the great houses and America's hidden creators, while shifting paradigms with her concept rooms. Jorge Arango chronicles Katillac's design process and deft knowledge of period styles from the 17th to the 20th century. Practical advice includes case notes on historic rehabilitation and inspiration for walls, windows, fabric, fixtures, furnishings, and fine art. With more than 200 vibrant photos by some of the world's leading photographers, Historic Style offers a contemporary perspective that acknowledges the past and paves a way for diversity in the future of preservation. With contributions from great American house museums and their curators-including Mount Vernon, Montpelier and Historic New England -- we find a more colorful and inclusive view of our built environment and the diversity of hands that created it. "The Most Endangered Historic Place in Missouri" The Henry Blosser House 1878 is now a restored American Dream. Readers of HISTORIC STYLE will be inspired to save and restore such places while bringing their own personal narrative to the story. Anthony Barzilay-Freund, Editorial Director, 1stDibs, Introspective: "Kelee Katillac's gift is to know how to build on a historic foundation and alchemize an old house into a wondrous environment any one of us would be fortunate to call home." Steve Larson, Co-Founder, Adelphi Paper Hangings: "Our team was completely unprepared for the exuberance of Kelee Katillac's vision! In Historic Style it's gratifying to see these historic wallpaper patterns ( with their reimagined colors) march, without hesitancy, into the 21st century." Kingsley Hammet, the late Founder and Publisher, Designer/builder Magazine: "Kelee Katillac's work reaches far beyond the walls of material structure. In fact, her philosophy implies that our lives and history can be changed by how we design our homes as places of origin and acceptance of ourselves and all others."
