HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF SPRINGFIELD AND NORTH SPRINGFIELD, CONTAINING A HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE EARLY SETTLEMENT, GROWTH AND BUSINESS IMPORTANCE OF THESE ... A thorough and informed history, and detailed directory, of this town in southwest Missouri. Nearly two-thirds of the text is comprised of Escott's history and description of Springfield, including much on the Civil War. Into this history he weaves biographical information about pioneers, prominent citizens, and business people, and descriptions of civic organizations. There are also a number of advertisements for local businesses. The folding map, printed on pink paper, is a quite detailed depiction of the two communities. Rather scarce in the market.
