McNulty, who was born and raised in St. Louis, chronicles the history of this city and its changes since the dawn of the camera age. She pairs photographs over a century old with specially commissioned views of the same scene as it exists today to show the evolution of St. Louis from the pioneers' gateway to the west to a thriving city of the 21st century. Her text and b&w and color photographs show how its location on the Mississippi (once jammed with the fabulous steamboats that brought Mark Twain to the city) and its heritage as a heartland of ragtime, jazz, and blues music provide a distinctive flavor that blends the old with the new.
