Missouri has always had a talent for being exactly in the wrong place at the right time. Too north to be South, too south to be North, and too stubborn to pick a side about anything else, it has spent centuries collecting misunderstandings like souvenirs.
Misery, Missouri, and Other Misunderstandings is a fast, irreverent romp through the state’s strangest moments, from frontier chaos and river town hustle to political showdowns that somehow made everything more complicated than it needed to be. Along the way you will meet con men, dreamers, rail barons, riverboat gamblers, and ordinary Missourians just trying to survive whatever the next century throws at them.
This is not a polite history. It is a story of ambition, contradiction, and a state that has repeatedly asked the world to show it something better, only to argue about the answer when it arrives.
