Description

Steve Schoenbeck, Archives Manager and the Webster Groves Historical Society will discuss his new book, Webster Groves: A Walk Through History.  Among other topics, Steve will dicuss the fact that General Grant's cabin, "Hardscrabble," had been moved to Old Orchard (Webster Groves) in 1891 for use as the offices of realtors Edward and Justin Joy, and the lore that connects General Grant with John Helfenstein, an early settler in Webster.
