Bibliography Related
to the 1904 World's Fair
The grandest of all World’s Fairs, held in St. Louis
in 1904, celebrated America’s progress in the century
since the Louisiana Purchase. This fair, however, did not
focus on the economic or technological aspects of progress
as earlier fairs had. It instead focused on the all-around
superiority of western and especially Anglo-Saxon civilization,
through exhibits, intellectual discourse and the Olympics.
