Spirits of the Gateway City

Since 1764, St. Louis has been the gateway to the unknown. Walk along the limestone cobbles of Laclede's Landing and witness the birth of a city with large aspirations and crooked dealings. Here you will find fur traders hardened by wilderness "law," former slaves fighting for their future, criminals immortalized in song, the rise and fall of the elite and the fight for the soul of a child. Meet the people behind Eads Bridge, the Old Courthouse, City Hospital, Lemp Brewery and more. From the Louisiana Purchase, the Civil War and Reconstruction to the modern day, hear their stories and learn why they may still haunt the cobblestones beneath your feet. Jennifer Elwyn delves into the dark side of a historic city.

Jennifer Elwyn was encouraged early in life to embrace her curiosity and seek to find her own answers to the strange questions of the world around her. She grew up in the small village of Kaskaskia, Illinois, and later moved to the "big city" of St. Louis. She has a bachelor's degree in English from SIU Carbondale and a master's degree in social work from St. Louis University. She writes a blog titled Investigative Curiosity, which explores what it means to be a paranormal investigator while working full time for the neuroscience program at Saint Louis University.
