The African American presence in St. Louis began in 1763 with the arrival of several free men of colour who accompanied Pierre Laclede from New Orleans to set up a fur trading fort on the Mississippi. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this book for the first time explores the role of blacks in the history of St. Louis through the Civil War.
