The Will of Missouri: The Life, Times, and Influence of Alexander William Doniphan - Alexander Doniphan Committee

Descriere The Will of Missouri: The Life, Times, and Influence of Alexander William Doniphan - Alexander Doniphan Committee

\n \nThe Will of Missouri: The life, Times, and Influence of Alexander William Doniphan is a collection of writings and essays procured and compiled by the Alexander Doniphan Committee. \n \n \n\n \nWho is the most well-known Missourian? Might it be Shery Crow or Brad Pitt? How about the most influential Missourian? Maybe it is Harry Truman or Chuck Berry? Alexander William Doniphan is perhaps the least well-known yet simultaneously most influential Missourian.\n \n \n\n \nDoniphan was dedicated to the rule of law, even when standing for this principle was not the popular opinion for people of the day. Doniphan believed in the value of education and helped establish one of the first colleges in the western frontier. Doniphan's military exploits remain extraordinary to this day.\n \n \n\n \nTo celebrate the Missouri Bicentennial the Alexander Doniphan Committee sponsored a community writing project to chronicle the life, the times, and the influence of this incredible yet little-known Missourian.\n
