"While the Capital City grew from a frontier wilderness, hotels were an anchor, such as the 80-year City Hotel. When hundreds of legislators and followers arrived every two years, hotels were a necessity, as were boarding houses like the Lansdown sisters. As arguments continued whether the Capitol should move elsewhere, hotels were always at the forefront of amenities and progress. The Hotel Madison and the Monroe House thrived with expansions, renovations and innovations. These substantial structures also housed community social events, from ladies’ teas at the Central Hotel to dances behind the Farmers Home, and civic meetings, from organizing to build a bridge across the Missouri River to political debates. Some of the city’s most scintillating moments occurred at these gathering places, including the Pulitzer shooting, the surrender of Frank James and the visit of a Russian grand duke."

Two copies of the book will be given away at a trivia raffle at the event.
