Since 1820, fifty-seven men have served as chief executive of the state of Missouri. Prior to statehood, six were appointed as "territorial governors", but through the years all shared the same responsibilities: to oversee the state constitution, enforce state and federal laws, and to maintain stability within the region during times of prosperity and also times of crisis. In his book, Missouri's Governors--From Statehood to Today, author Paul W. Bass presents compelling biographical profiles of all who have governed the Show-Me State including their backgrounds, accomplishments, and actions as governor in times of prosperity and adversity. This is the perfect book for anyone interested in Missouri's rich political history, providing an insightful look at the men, and their deeds, who have shaped the state's evolution through the years.
