Lion of the Valley, St. Louis, Missouri, 1764-1980 by James Neal Primm

An interesting and well-written general history of St. Louis.

The Civil War in St. Louis: A Guided Tour by William C. Winter

An excellent source of information about Civil War St. Louis. The book is worthwhile as an on-site tour guide with maps and directions to sites and descriptions of what is there now and what was there during the 1860s. If not planning a trip to St. Louis, it's still very good reading, putting into geographical perspective much of the history of the city. Lots of good pictures and narrative.

Story of a Border City During the Civil War, by Galusha Anderson

Anderson was a pastor in St. Louis just before and during the war. His church was only half a block away from Lynch's Slave Market. He offered his services as a minister to the Confederate prisoners at Gratiot, but--not surprisingly--none of their accounts mention him. Good, first-hand history by a bit of a fussbudget, but a very entertaining writer. A decidedly Union point-of-view.
