- Westport,
Missouri's Port of Many Returns
- Patricia Cleary Miller / Hardcover / Published 1983
- This first popular history of Westport, recreates Westport's
noisy story from its birth as a tiny trading post in the Missouri wilderness
to its vigorous present as four and one-half square miles in the middle of
Kansas City, Missouri. Author Patricia Miller shows how the
little trading center exploded into life when hundreds and then thousands of
people going to Santa Fe, California, and Oregon made it their port to the
west.
The Civil War stopped this frontier prosperity and for ten years,
Westport and the farms and villages along the Kansas - Missouri border were
terrorized by guerrilla bands led by the likes of John Brown and William
Quantrill. After the war, Westport was economically shattered but over
time it transformed itself from a broken farm village to a lovely suburb so
enticing to its big new neighbor Kansas City that the city swallowed
Westport up, annexing it in 1897. But Westport's history was far
from over. It took on new life as a fashionable residential area and the
city's cultural center.
