Still Shining

"As Midnight struck on Dec. 1, 1904, World's Fair President David R. Francis stood before a hushed crowd of 100,000 in Forest Park in St. Louis. He then threw a switch that extinguished forever the fair that had been a magical kingdom for several months. ; And yet... from a department store in Philadelphia to a hilltop in Birmingham, from a front yard in Moberly, Missouri, to a museum in Alaska--and in dozens of other places-the World's Fair still lives on. ; In Still Shining!, author Diane Rademacher tracks down some of the lost treasures of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and their current fate"--Back cover.
