From Lincoln Logs to Lego Blocks: How Joplin Was Built (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

One of the best ways to learn the history of a community is to study its buildings. Joplin evolved from a ramshackle mining camp into a thriving city. The influx of people from Europe, as well as from the eastern and southern United States, influenced the way it grew. Meanwhile, the industrial revolution radically changed building technology. These combined factors make for a fascinating history.
