The State:
Missouri, in the heart of the USA, is a blend of frontier West, gracious
South, the sophisticated East and industrial North. The Missouri
Valley was a major pioneer route, with St Louis known as ‘The
Gateway to the West’. It is bounded by the Mississippi River in
the east. Prairies lie north of the Missouri River (the longest
in the USA), with great plains to the west, rolling hills in the south
and the Southern-style cotton lands to the southeast. The State’s
riverboat culture was immortalised by Mark Twain in Life on the
Mississippi and in his tales of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry
Finn.
