Saint Louis In Tune

Dave Lange's second edition of Soccer Made in St. Louis: A History of the Game in America's First Soccer City chronicles the successful drive to bring a Major League Soccer franchise to St. Louis (St. Louis City SC) while chronicling the early history of St. Louis soccer that’s come to light in the past decade.

Sourced from more than a hundred sources and interviews with 122 present and former administrators, coaches, owners, and players, Soccer Made in St. Louis is the only history of the sport in the city that has played soccer since the 1870s and has produced 91 national champions, 66 players on the U.S. National Team, and 34 members of U.S. national soccer halls of fame.

The book is available at Reedy Press.

The Gateway Arch: An Illustrated Timeline explores the planning, growth, and evolution of St. Louis and its riverfront. St. Louis’ central location has been key to US history, serving as the “Gateway to the West.”

Author and architect, John C. Guenther seeks to “connect the dots” of history and take readers through the key events which led to the building of the Gateway Arch, assisted by historic images and primary sources. Enjoy a chronological look at the historic foundations of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, starting from the very beginning to the present day. Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch expresses both a timeless monumentality and a contemporary dynamism. The story of how this monument came to be is remarkable.

The Gateway Arch: An Illustrated Timeline is available wherever books are sold.

In Chasing Picasso: A True Story of A Daytime Heist on Art Hill, author C. Joan Baker unveils the mysterious history and disappearance of a small Picasso painting from the Saint Louis Art Museum in 1973. The 1906 Rose Period oil painting has not been seen since it disappeared in a clandestine daytime theft and the heist would have been forgotten altogether if it weren’t perhaps for the one curious author, C. Joan Baker who we interview in this edition. She hopes her book will lead to the return of the Picasso painting, nicknamed Nude, to the Saint Louis Art Museum.
