11:35Now PlayingLearn about the history of Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis as told through the stories of those who are buried there in "Movers and Shakers, Scalawags and Suffragettes." Author Carol Ferring Shipley organized the book into sections, such as artists, fur traders, and Civil War generals, which feature biographies of individuals. Besides being a history of a significant place, this book functions as a guidebook to St. Louis and its notable residents. Because so many of St. Louis's leading citizens (such as William Clark, James Buchanan Eads, and Adolphus Busch) are buried in Bellefontaine, the book is a tale of the city. Cemetery records and interviews with such insiders as the cemetery's superintendent and gatekeeper inform the research. The contributions and controversies that make up St. Louis history are revealed, and the architecture and landscape of the cemetery are celebrated as significant to the region.
