Persecution
This picture represents the first
slaves in Missouri, which were
brought by the French to work
the lead mines
This illustrates the expulsion of
the Mormons after an order
was signed by Gov. Boggs to
have them removed, by force if
needed.
These were dark times in the history of Missouri, but they were still part of
our history, and Benton felt it should be portrayed in the mural.

Trade and Travel
Pony Express, ran mail from St.
Joe to Sacramento for 18 months
before being put out of business by
the telegraph
Here we have the paddle boat,
which was paramount to history for
travel and trade as most
commerce was at rivers edge
