I'm just now having time to watch this video. Thanks for sharing your process! As an amateur history researcher, I can attest about research obsessions. I spent 10 years researching our local Heer's Department Store and the Heer's family here in Springfield, Mo. I never did write a book, though I probably should. These days I focus my research to the Woodland Heights neighborhood and the Commercial Street district, and help those to areas out. History research is a labor of love (of course when dealing with anything history be it restoring old buildings, or working in a museum or research it's all a labor of love). I mentioned our local Lemp distribution facility in our Commercial street district, and I already e-mailed Nicki the Sanborn map pages of it's location of the years (which can also be found through the Library of Congress). If you all like I can look for more information on their distribution facility here. It wasn't a big facility, but it was here from about 1888 to prohibition.
I have a question for Stephen Walker: How was he received by the coroner's office when he approached them for answers? Also grabbing my attention was the bonus information in his book, such as the St. Louis Zoo. The Taylor book's inclusion of the caves system also fascinates me. I appreciated the warning about the taking of liberties & the speculation that evidently marks the Pittman volume. It's best to know such a thing going into it, and now we do. I love to read & this will be a nice homework assignment.
I’m crap at researching so I’m grateful for presentations like this. Have you guys talked about the Lemp mansion? I’m wondering if I missed it or if that’s something you thinking about touching on, later.
Well done! I appreciate the shout-out. I do believe you've given a fair and accurate assessment of all the books. Keep up the great work!
Added the Fortune Teller Bar on the bucket list for next fall’s trip.
Same. How can one NOT be drawn to such a place, lol?? It's a great bar name.

We're always interested in such information. Copy Matt at matt.mizell@protonmail.com

Stephen tells a great story about seeing the coroner...he had no problems getting the information he needed.
@@MansardStudios I hope he shares his coroner story one day. Glad he suffered no obstacles.

We owe you that info and it's coming in a near future episode.
So you think “Lemp, the Haunted History” is the one to start with?
Absolutely. He is the one who started doing all the research. The others have compelling info too but Stephen P Walker really fills you in.
@@MansardStudiosthanks. I followed the link and ordered a used copy.
I wouldn’t put any weight into stories on “hauntings”. Those types of stories, while entertaining, are often the product of over active imaginations.
We have a similar outlook.
Though our Directors Meghan and JD have a different perspective lol. Brings balance to the team ;)
