St. Louis sounds amazing as a person and a king.
My 23rd great grandfather. I learned so much. Thank you
Very blessed
🙏🏻❤️🔥⚜️✨👑
As usual, this is a GREAT presentation!! I'm a life long resident of St Louis (62 years) and I recently traveled to Paris to see San Chapelle and the tomb of St Louis in the church of St Denis. They are both beautiful, sublime places that every St Louisan should visit, if they get the chance. Thank you!
I went to grade school in St. Charles and I can't remember once them teaching us about why our city is named Saint Louis. I love that my hometown is named after a man who helped the poor and homeless more than himself. That is the self-less life of a devote Christian albeit a very imperfect one. Great lesson.
Any person, of any faith or nation, that puts the helpless, the crippled, the poor and the disenfranchised before himself is surely a wonderful person.
Politicians today could learn a lot by paying attention to Saint Louis. I cannot imagine any country's leader inviting poor or homeless people into their residence to eat a good meal, much less waiting to eat the leftovers.
He walks Bernie Sanders talk.
kinsmarts genocide is always wrong and always immoral, regardless of what an immoral church has to say. I hope it cleared that up for you.
If they're already suicidal, persecuting them is just speeding up the process.
they didn't have crackheads back then
@JZ's Best Friend Louis 8 who?
It is under Louis IX that the "presumption of innocence" concept was first worded.
Yes
I was born and raised in St.Louis (U.City). Back in the day, we learned about St.L. history, But very little about the man. So this was interesting.
I enjoyed it.
same here.
as a Catholic living in New Orleans, my church was the Cathedral of St. Louis King of France next door to our apartment in the Pontalba building on Jackson Square.
I live in the St. Louis area though not the city itself. I did know that St. Louis was named for Louis IX. Though I seem to have forgotten his involvement in the 7th & 8th Crusades. Fantastic video! thank you
Araeagle in fact, so do I.
The History Guy: History Deserves to Be Remembered me too
Here in Tupelo MS, we love what what you're doing! Keep it up!
@@TheHistoryGuyChannel so do you mean you live in/near St. Louis? I live near st louis and love it.

“ Near “ St. Louis-
That’s a lot of territory.🙂
When people think ofSt.L. They think mostly of the crime, and the “ notorious “ North Side.
21 years I lived there. There are some very nice places to live , there.
I’ve really enjoyed your channel since I stumbled across it last month.
There are some of us St. Louisans who are fortunate to know a bit about King Louis IX.
I attend mass at the oldest church in the city, St. Louis, King of France, more popularly known as the Old Cathedral, located on the Arch grounds. A statue and a portrait of St. Louis are located in the church. Excerpts from a book about the Old Cathedral are printed in the weekly bulletin. A biography of the church’s namesake is part of that book, and I read that excerpt every year when it’s in the bulletin.
I remember that the heart of St. Louis is one of the venerated relics at the Cathedral in Tunis. Mobs ransacked St. Denis in Paris during the French Revolution, and desecrated all of the royal tombs and dumped the bones of all of the Kings and Queens of France that were interred there in a nearby lime pit. Some fragments were saved, but were almost impossible to identify. The bones of St. Louis are probably not in his tomb.
Statues of the saint are also in other churches in the STL area, included Sts. Peter and Paul in the old French neighborhood of Soulard, as well as St. John Nepomuk and the Basilica Cathedral, also known as the New Cathedral. All of the statues show St. Louis holding the Crown of Thrones. The Sisters of Mercy at my grade school in Webster Groves taught us about St. Louis, and I can only imagine that the life of St. Louis was taught at other parish grade schools, as well as St. Louis University HS.
It’s one thing to be taught something, but altogether different to remember it. I enjoy history and look forward to reading those excerpts about the history of the Old Cathedral and King Louis IX as reminders of the rich heritage of the church and it’s patron saint. I also look forward to your videos...keep up the great work!
Thank you for another interesting snippet. It brought tears to my eyes hearing that St Louis fed the poor in his home and he was the server. Then his meal was the left overs.
Don't forget that Adolf Hitler was said to adore children and treated them very well too. (Well not the Jewish ones, kind of like Louis, fed the poor, but not the Jewish poor. )
@@brentkaufman1723
Good.

People who want to change the name of the City of St Louis need to watch this video. Thanks for sharing the good that King Louis the 9th did as well as the not so good things. (I live in a St Louis suburb.)
I would like to see a segment about the 1904 Olympic Games held in St Louis as part of the World’s Fair. It is interesting history that deserves to be remembered.
Wow! I never knew that.
Few people remember it today, but St Louis was the 4th largest city in the county in the 1900 and 1910 censuses-behind only New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. St Louis was among the greatest cities in the world at the time, which was why it was awarded the World’s Fair and Olympic Games.
As a Malaysian Catholic, I'm proud of the Catholic history
St Louise, King of France
St Jadwiga, King of Poland and Lithuania
Guide us!
I was born and raised in St. Louis. I’ve lived in Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand, and traveled to many more places and I still think this is the coolest city on the planet. It’s such a great place to live. Plus we have the St. Louis Cardinals so that in itself is amazing.
I live in ST Louis and thank you for the video. Love your channel.
I was unaware of where the name came from but thanks to your channel I now know why. Thanks for sharing this. Great tie too!
This gives one an appreciation of this aspect of French life. And of the roots of the city so named. For which I thank you.
Thank You So Very Much on the History of Saint Louis amazing knowledge one of which I had never heard before, I am ever so grateful for having heard the history of the City named after Saint Louis. I’ve learned to read and soak in as much knowledge as I can, as they say knowledge is power. God Bless You and God Bless America. 🇺🇸 and all who support Our Nation.
Another excellent video. Bravo! Like all good educators, you know how to make history entertaining/fun.
St. Louis the King, pray for us.
Why I like your channel: the graphics & visuals are varied and appreciated. I like your presentation in voice & script (seems like a friendly chat, not scripted) and your objective take on every story. Varied subject matter a good balance. Thanks, Mr. & Mrs. HG & crew.
I greatly appreciate your research. These videos inspire me to learn more on various historical subjects. Thank you.
In California we have Mission San Luis Rey and the San Luis Rey river, located to the very north of San Diego (St James of Acala) county, the mission being in the modern city of Oceanside. It is quite well preserved and/or reconstructed and well worth the visit if in the area.
Well done History Guy!
It ought to mandatory for all of us in the St. Louis region to watch this video! Thank you!👏👏👏👍
The Saint Chappelle chapel in Paris is just astounding! To get in though, you have to wait in the same line as a bunch of folks about to go into a courtroom for trial, so dress accordingly! It's well worth it!
Christopher, I was overwhelmed by the stained glass in Saint Chappelle...absolutely gorgeous!
It’s very interesting that the architect of the chapel of Firmin Desloges Hospital on South Grand in St. Louis (part of SLU Hospitals) was inspired by Saint Chappelle. It’s not a replica by a long shot, but the chapel is a little gem in STL.
This is one of your best presentations; especially your depiction of what a true follower of Christ OUGHT to be. Thanks.
Except for the part about killing people . . .
Just imagine how many women have been in child marriages, how many women have been the victims of genital mutilation, how many women have been one of multiple wives of one man, how many people have been oppressed by Islam who would not have had those burdened lives had the crusaders won. Centuries of oppression.
@@dugroz He was a king. The first job of a king is to stay in power. All the most virtuous Christian princes and kings throughout history have blood on their hands, without exception.
>a follower of christ shouldn't go on crusades or persecute heretics
>in the year 1200
Those were objectively considered pious acts at the time.
St Louis is the proof you can be a good politician and still be a good person. Something that many rulers of today have to learn
This is simply awesome!
The statue at 6:19 is in front of the St. Louis Art Museum. Before the Arch was built, it was what one saw on everything in St. Louis. It was the icon of the city. BTW that art museum is amazing...and free.
Well, I wish we had someone around like that today. I learn something every time I watch. I've got a couple save that came on today. But I'm finally snapping out of my depression. These help when I can focus.
Someone willing to persecute Jews and Cathars (who were the real pious chrisitians, btw)?
Good episode. It would be good if you mention the years more often.
I lived in he St. Louis area many years ago, this was fascinating to learn about the history of the city’s name and the man whom it was named after.
Big fan of yours now! Aside from my love for your five minute history installments, I am also fascinated by all the historical memorabilia on the walls and shelves and surfaces behind you. I want to look at all those pictures and ask questions. I want to hear you talk about your collection of military hats and why you're so drawn to those. I also collect history.
I found out I was his 25th great-granddaughter after living in St. Louis for 30 years.
Question of Hugues De Molay (France) : Whose 25th great-granddaughter?
Wonderful class!
Great info. thank you!
I've lived in the Greater St Louis area for my entire life, and I have never known exactly who King Louis was. Even though our city isn't the greatest, it's great to know the man who this city is named after was a man of good moral character.
"burned the talmud"

I live really close to stl. it’s the best city to live in in my opinion. Good People, Good food, and a good atmosphere overall. Every body is really cool to hang around with.
I love your videos so much, you're wonderful History Guy.
I am amazed at many of the facts about King Louis IX - authentic concern for the poor; feeding them and listening to them; seeing them as his responsibility. I can't myself think of his equal in a monarch for that. He threw out the wacky practice of "trial by ordeal" which was still around hundreds of years later in New England. And yet he must have had it in him to be tough as he's respected for not demurring from the hard decisions of justice. France prospered under him and he avoided war (England), when he could, keeping France strong in that way. He was enlightened before the Enlightenment (450 years later). I am grateful to hear about a leader of this rare stature. Then again, perhaps we need to be grateful to his mother, Blanche, who raised an outstanding man. I think that France was culturally a leg up on every country for him.Thank you for presenting him!
Refreshing
People try to spurn good St. Louis because of his efforts to end Catharism (or Albigensianism) without actually knowing what they believed, and did as a result of their beliefs. Because of their belief that only the spiritual is good, and that matter was evil they practiced crazy things like mass suicide. If you ask me, and ideology like that is dangerous to society. Thank God for St. Louis!
Frankly, given the time period it wasn't just a necessary act, it was a good and virtuous one.
Wonderful observations and research!!!
Great conclusion! Thank you again!
Great lesson. One of our best state high school teams is named after a St. Louis. We also have a community named St.Louis Heights. Our history goes back to the 1800s
Another interesting story, but I am distracted by that really long tie! Didn’t know you wore or even owned any of those! ; )
Another lovely story! Thank you for sharing. I understood that King Louis was the grandson (maternal line) of Alphonse X (the learned) which was the king that requested the first Spanish Encyclopaedia and asking that in the "games" section, the first entry should be dedicated to chess giving a lovely account as to why this should be so. He wrote or said wonderful things about the movements of the knights. Perhaps one day, you will remind us about Alphonse X, the Learned from Spain. Best to you.
This inspired to read more about Louis IX, which lead me down a rabbit hole about the Angevin Empire, which I think would make a really interesting subject for an episode!
How about the Sykes-Picot agreement ? History that deserves to be remembered today
I really enjoy your channel
If people remembered that treaty they would maybe stop trying to influence politics in the middle east through force.
Very Very Good! Awesome, Keep it up. I enjoy your videos

I wonder if there would be enough interest potential in remembering the history of Pierre Laclède Liguest to warrant one of your "short snippets of history that deserve to be remembered?" I don't know how deserving of remembrance it would be; but, you can tell from my surname that I would be highly interested in anything you might know about him.
Did you know that his partner on the trip up the Mississippi from New Orleans, René Auguste Chouteau, was Pierre's stepson? The location of the trading post they built on the banks of the Mississippi, which was the future site of St.Louis, they called "Laclede's Landing."
I too love history and thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Are you still living in the St. Louis area?
And one of the main streets is Chouteau.
I am a descendant of Jean Baptiste Gamache. He was with Laclede and Choteau in the fur trade coming from Quebec. I am not sure about Shaw. It appears my guy got into a tiff with the other gents, broke off and established south St. Louis County. Specifically; Lemay Ferry Rd, the River Des Pere area, Arnold Mo along the river where he built and operated a ferry. He also owned what is now Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery. I recently found out when he started making Lemay Ferry Rd, it was known as "Grapevine Rd" because he used grapevine roots that are always 6ft long to measure the distance. He married an Indian Princess which is who I decend from but had another family in New Baden.
I would love a timeline along with confirmation and more facts. JB was ultimately taken back by the government.
My grandmother, a Gamache unfortunately died in her early 50's.
You have a great channel btw🇺🇸
@@jcsgodmother: No Ma'am. I live in South Texas. I am descended from Joseph Clede who was born in Hutte-Garrone, France sometime around 1830/35. His son, my great grandfather, John Joseph Clede, was born in New Orleans in 1863. I have not yet found the connection to Pierre.
Just watched this one, Fantastic ! So much history in my home town. And I love it !
What in the Talmud was so disagreeable to such a fair and just man?

Great tie. :) I must record this video in my memory as the first where it's not a bow tie.
There a few older episodes without. I started out wearing different ties, and even an episode without a tie. But I wore bow tie one time and viewers liked it.
Love the Bow Tie!
Great video, my far ancestor Etienne Boileau was king Louis prevot of Paris, he also went on a crusade with the king and got held captive, Etienne son Robert was also in the 8th crusade . Etienne wrote ( livres des metier) he also wrote a book of laws but it was lost or some say burn in fire .
I seriously doubt your ancestry of the provost Etienne Boileau exactly Boyleaux. Charles of the Boileau descendant fled France for England because of Protestantism, he joined the British armies, therefore a traitor to France, repudiated, he abandoned all his titles, his possessions to his younger brother in 1722.
This part of the Anglo-Saxon descendants of Charles Boileau immigrated from England to New Zealand, Canada, and no longer has anything to do with the French source branch, transforming the name Boileau through marriages into Ebenezer, Davenport Graham, Clark
The surname Boileau in France is borne by thousands of people in France and very few people know Etienne Boileau of whom nothing remains, only academics and insiders
@itsasederki3533 I'm not from the branch of Charles Boileau , however, I did hear about branches that are not true Boileau. I remember reading about it a few years ago. All I remember is that they claim that there were 3 branches that didn't make sense to me then and now. So From the 3 branches, all I remember is the family crest. One was indeed the Charles Boileau the crest with castle on it. I'm from the Red lion salient, red on Silver background and the Boileau that I'm dependent from had a crest of that lion salien on his house . My line came to Canada from Britanny France.
@@kimberlyboileau1473
In fact the line of Etienne Boylesve (Frenchified as Boileau) comes from Anjou, Orléans and its Armorial, which is not proven "Armes et Blasons" is azure with a gold chevron and silver crescent, sewn with three silver stars on a red background. There is no line of Boileau in Brittany. The other 2 are Nicolas Boileau the French poet in Île de France and Boileau de Castelnau de Nîmes who have absolutely nothing to do with Etienne Boylesve called Boileau, provost of St Louis.
okay, this is epic
5:43 "The two crusades he lead to the holy land" no they weren't to the holy land, one was in Egypt and the other was in Tunis, these are not parts of the so called holy land
Yes but if successful the crusades would have taken wealthy and strategic areas from Muslims to support the crusades states in the holy Land proper, they were in a sense step one of a plan to retake Christian territory in the holy land
Where's your bow tie? Great video!
I didn't start with the bow tie. I just wore one once and people liked it.
@@TheHistoryGuyChannel I just want you to know that while we are fascinated with your wardrobe because of your "rock star" status, we aren't ignoring the history stuff.
Also, teasing all the ladies by starting with a tie in this one and then "stripping" was a nice touch.
Also, also: the History Cats bow tie was super duper adorable !
I have really enjoyed your series. Can you do a segment about the Battle of San Pasquale and the taking of California from Mexico? I live in Ramona, California very close to the site yet almost nobody I've spoken to about the subject has ever heard about it. Thanks for you efforts to educate, illuminate and elucidate.
People talk shit about St.Louis but I've always thought it was a very pretty city with all the hills and greenery, especially along 44. Especially all those old brick buildings.
Harry Buttwhisker
I have a cousin who (gets permission ) takes photographs of the many “ reliefs” on many of the buildings and recreates them (for sale) . There’s a lot of very cool architecture in St.L.
@luca kro watch yourself. I grind my own meat, I know how to get rid of a body and Teddy will eat anything!
I believe that stems from the reputation East St. Louis has thrust upon the St. Louis area. I believe outsiders associate East St Louis as actually being part of the city proper.
I flew into the airport once for a connecting flight and saw the arches from the air. It was pretty neat.
@@NorthernChev No, St Louis is a dump too.
He seems like an extraordinarily good man for his time. The expansion of the inquisition wasn't so nice of him though.
A great man
that was very interesting
I have to go thru each list and just push play, looking for any video I haven’t thumbed up yet,( meaning it’s one I haven’t seen yet, I thumbs up them as soon as I’ve seen them)...I’m running out of your videos.....ahhhhhh
Very good indeed. Only one nit. In fact, L&C started in a town up the Illinois river, and traveled to St. Charles, Mo where they picked up the last of their supplies and personnel. Thus St. Charles claims that L&C started their fabled "discovery" of where the French had already been from there, certainly not St. Louis
I did not realize St Louis was only under French rule 40 years. I thought it was older than that. More like El Paso. There were Europeans living in El Paso when the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock.
To be more accurate, STL was never under French rule. Laclede and Chouteau established their trading post in 1764, a year after the New France territory west of the Mississippi had been ceded to the Spanish after the French lost the Seven Years War (French and Indian War). Their patron in New Orleans, Saint-Maxent, knew about the change of ownership, but it was not widely known by his competitors, which was why the trading post was established on the first high ground south of the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, on the west bank of the Mississippi.
The territory east of the Mississippi was taken into the growing British Empire. Many Catholic Frenchmen in French settlements (Cahokia, Prairie du Rocher, etc.) on the east side of river moved over to St. Louis to be ruled by Catholic Spain rather than the British Protestants. It was still illegal to be Catholic in Great Britain at the time, which caused some serious consternation among Catholics in territory ruled by the British in North America.
St. Louis was most definitely a French settlement, but ruled by the Spanish. After conquering Spain, Napoleon secretly took Louisiana back right before he sold it to the US in 1803.
May I suggest a video of the rise and heavy decline of East St. Louis, Illinois? Once one of the greatest industrial centers of the Rust Belt now one of the most squalid and dangerous places to live in the US.
I was born in E.St.Louis in 1945 and left home in 1961 because it was a very dangerous town.I do not remember it otherwise but it certainly had good music and a good high school football team.
Bless St. Louis. And you should do a video on the other line of Louis kings. St. Louis of Thuringia and his bloodline.
As a member of the St Louis Jewish Orthodox community I must say that your historic frame of view is much different than many Jews. He isn’t as respected, let alone honored, for his accomplishments and “kindness” as he is for his oppression of others, and causing one of our holiest and wisest sages of the last 1500 years to flee for his life after being forced by this King Louis on threat of death. (Recounted in his collected writings on the incident in the book “The Disputation.”)
This was the 13th century any religion that was similar to Christianity was viewed as blasphemy/santanic it is not in are right to judge him/them for they only did their actions out of fear and limited understanding of the world it would have been a different story if he was born in the 21th century

Lewis and Clark did not leave from St. Louis on their journey west. They left from a small town in Illinois 20 miles upstream from St. Louis. Wood River Illinois is site number 1 on the Lewis and Clark trail. They couldn’t prepare for a military quest in St. Louis because it was French territory in 1803. There’s many reasons they chose Wood River as the starting point for the Corps of Discovery.
1000th like. Greetings from Missouri!
I am dying to have THG fan the flames of history about the Cathars.
I was in St. Louis Friday (well, Brentwood, but that's close enough). Been to Laclede's Landing many times and driven down Chouteau quite often. Thanks for this, and all, your videos.
Wow.. excellent! You hear so little about the kings of France before louis XIV..
The neck tie instead of the bowtie was a momentary distraction, but casual History Guy for the conclusion had me yelling in my head HE'S NOT WEARING A TIE!!!???
You should do a video on your ties, in particular the "novelty" ones. It's not always easy to see what's on them, especially on smaller screens. You could go into the progression of the tie in dress attire from, assumingly from a practical piece of clothing to the eventual elimination of it even in business attire. What got you into wearing bowties? The novel designs are obviously because you're an entertaining guy.
I didn't start with the bow tie- if I am not wearing one, you know it was one of the first few episodes I made.
@@TheHistoryGuyChannel ah, ok. I hadn't even noticed there wasn't your bowtie bug in the corner.
you should do a lecture on the history of the Bow Tie......
Chouteau was trusted by the Osage Indian who traded furs to the family and hence his family created a trading post now known as Salina, OK where salt springs led to salt works known far and wide in frontier Oklahoma and Arkansas
I don't live in St. Louis. I live in SOULARD! St. Louis just happens around me.
Steven Vicino that's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard
Steven Vicino
Well, that can be taken a number of ways.
I have an associate who lets LIFE “happen “around him,too.
I am a Soulardian as well. As much as I liked and understood your comment, other folks may benefit from the explanation that we consider our neighborhood to be an “island” cut off from the rest of the city by I-55. I even heard from a visitor to STL that we have many great neighborhoods, disconnected from each other, that form an archipelago, making our city less knowable than other great American cities.
Clay Boone: I think we'll go to St. Louis.

What a wonderful person 🙏✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
Sounds like he did alot more good than bad. Not like the evil man he is being portrayed by that unschooled mob wanting erase him from the city. I mean who was perfect in those times, other than Jesus. Let the past be in the past already.
Exactly. For the bad things associated with him, today's criticism makes a huge mistake of judging the past solely on modern values. He lived in the days when supressing heretics and crusading was universally regarded as a good thing. I'm sure that in our society he would find other ways of manifesting his piety instead of crusading (e.g. even more of his charitable works). Some may say: "Then what about the times the slavery was widespread, was it also ok if everyone thought it wasn't immoral?" To that I have a simple response. If they lived in a society where this idea was not challenged and regarded as positive, a slave owner would not be morally responsible. But in the real world, the idea of slavery was opposed much more than crusading in Louis times. The Catholic church condemned it in 16th century with the rise of colonialism, if I'm not mistaken. So there was a strong moral authority in the western culture to proclaim it wrong. With its abolition in many European countries in early 19th century and also in the north of US, there was plenty of evidence to prove the southern slave owners wrong. Therefore, they are morally guilty. If such knowledge had been nonexistent, then the slave owners would not have been morally guilty. Louis did nothing immoral.
Louis the Catholic. A more appropriate appellation.
Yes, like Isabel the Catholic, Europe's Greatest Queen!!!
I liked your video, but I would make one comment, specifically about King Louis going to war for religious reasons.
He went to war because Christians were being killed trying to go to the historical sites for 400 years prior to that time...honestly, I'm surprised it took that long for any Christian nation to actually do something, to protect Christians.
Burning the Talmud...Smart guy.
...yea, but his town has that "Red Bird" team ...
(and named for Catholic Cardinals)
And I'm a Cubbie girl, born mere blocks from Wrigley Field, and thus - "not so much Louis"!
*GO CUBS - GO!!!!!!!!!*
Call me a Heritic!
the cards where not named for the Catholic Cardinals..I know your a Cubbie fan and do not know the Red Bird history..it is named for the bird not anything to do with the church..now you know it is just named for a wonderful beautiful bird just like the cubs are named after a bear the lovable little bear that dreams to be like the cards with all the world series we have won second to the Yankees..cheers oh Go RED BIRDS
The St Louis Cardinals are named as such due to new uniforms in 1899 which featured Cardinal Red stripes and socks. And the Cardinals on the bat on uniform should tell you they were named after the red bird. Go CARDINALS!!!
So this starts out with a necktie and ends with no tie. Was this when you decided to switch to bowties?
I would like to see an episode about your collection of hats and why you collect them.
I just happened to wear a bow tie one episode and viewers responded (not like the channel had a lot of viewers yet. )
So he would be the guy then. The last place I lived in California was Oceanside, and one of the old Spanish missions was practically within sight of where I lived, would have been were it not for the hill. It was Mision San Luis Rey de Francia - St. Louis King of France Mission "the king of the missions" - established as part of the California missions in the late 18th century when the area that would be Oceanside about a hundred years later was part of Spain. So why would Spanish padres name their mission after a French king? Well, now we know. They were Catholic first and foremost, and St. Louis was a great Catholic. They also named the river after him, the San Luis Rey river, but it isn't much of a river.
I understood it that Lewis and Clark left from St. Charles Mo. near St. Louis and not from St. Louis itself.
Rick Lang well maybe you should do a little research before you comment on something that has nothing to do with the subject at hand...... but just so you get a little of education, the official start of their journey started on the other side of the river in Illinois where they camped to gain provisions and men...... a word of advice, if you would like to state something of fact, you should know the facts.
They started om May 14, at what was called Camp Dubois, what we now call Wood River, Ill. which is just north of St. Louis. So roughly speaking - St. Louis. They arrived at St. Charles on the 16th.
Wow. Described his part in the Inquisition in one sentence.
