Description: The history of Missouri has been recorded since 1808 in the pages of its newspapers, a record preserved in the State Historical Society of Missouri, which was founded by newspapermen for the deposition of newspaper files and other materials of historical value. From these files and from other sources Professor Taft has compiled a wealth of material about Missouri newspapers, newspapermen, and the Editors' and Publishers' Association of Missouri, with emphasis on the "grass roots" press rather than on the metropolitan press.
