Author Talk: Patrick Murphy and the 1904 World's Fair

No single event in the history of St. Louis shines as brightly as the 1904 World's Fair. Forest Park was transformed into a magnificent Ivory City of huge palaces and dramatic vistas. Twenty million visitors passed through its gates to witness wonderous displays of the technological achievements of humankind. Noted author and television producer Patrick Murphy's new book helps us appreciate how the Fair was a product of its time, both in noble aspirations and base prejudices.

His storytelling takes the reader to the heart of the Fair, and his spectacular new book will be available for sale and signing after the program.
