St. Louis Parks, Second Edition - Hardcover

NiNi Harris's earliest memory is of an early autumn evening, picking up acorns as she and her father walked along Bellerive Boulevard to Bellerive Park. Her great-great-grandfather's first job when he arrived in St. Louis in 1864 was planting trees in a St. Louis park. She has spent her career researching and writing about St. Louis's parks, architecture, and ethnic neighborhoods and communities. Her books include histories of the Civil War years in St. Louis, the Polish heritage of St. Louis, Black St. Louis, the St. Louis Hills neighborhood, and Downtown St. Louis.
