Thanks, Scott for more of your good work on the history of St. Louis. I thought you might like to know that Bob Corbett who is an historian for the the city of Dogtown is a great resource for information about mines in St. Louis. http://www.webster.edu/~corbetre/dogtown/history/mines.html Diane Shaw Hot, Hot, Hot in Hillsboro, MO Subject: Forgotten Towns and Brick Mines From: "ShowMeMule" <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2005 16:21:49 -0500 To: [email protected] Hi, I just updated the Forgotten Towns of St. Louis page. I have one request. Does anyone know where Kenwood Springs was located in St. Louis County ? I have a circa 1910 postcard of a home located there. It is on the webpage if anyone is curious. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/county/stlouis/towns.htm I have also added some illustrations for the Underground Mines of St. Louis page. If you have some old bricks laying around with inscriptions naming St. Louis brickproducers and you would like to share, let me know. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/county/stlouis/underground_stl.htm I hope everyone is enjoying the summer. Best wishes. --Scott Williams
Yes, Bob Corbett is drawing information from the same map as I have. Bob's a great historian and his website is excellent but one thing people need to know is St. Louis is much BIGGER than Dogtown!! And Dogtown is located INSIDE St. Louis. ---I won't duplicate Bob's scanned area of the map, but I will show the vast area of south St. Louis that is covered by the other mines. (There are many mines outside of Dogtown) Scott K.
