Book Description
This book is a partial collection of research done by Jeanne Newby in her thirty-one years of writing a weekly column in the local newspaper The Webb City Sentinel, known as "Ancestors, Legends and Time." That would include approximately 1,612 articles. Jeanne acquired a passion for local history in those thirty-one years. Not just Webb City but many of the other small towns in the local community, which made up the well-known Southwest Missouri Mining District. In researching the many forefathers of Webb City's past, much genealogy came forth which is another of Jeanne's passions. There were many opportunities for Jeanne to give tours of the city and share the history with individuals and bring that history to life. One fun project was being able to take young second graders, high school students, and other classes on tours as well. The children learned of buildings that no longer existed, what businesses existed in the buildings they see today; and the unique architecture of the beautiful buildings.

Book Description
Agriculture--not mining--brought the first pioneers to Webb City. In 1856, John C. Webb moved his family from Tennessee to southwest Missouri. On the first day of June in 1859, he purchased 240 acres at the General Land Office in Springfield, Missouri. He farmed this land until 1873, when he found lead on top of the ground while plowing his cornfield. Webb City soon became part of the greatest lead and zinc mining district in the world. In September 1875, Webb platted the township of Webb City on part of this same land. His journey from farmer to wealthy mine owner may be a unique story in the world, but it was common in southwest Missouri. Like any boomtown, Webb City grew quickly, and businesses seemingly emerged overnight to meet the needs of the community, making many early founders rich. This book covers the changes in the community as it transitioned from farming to mining, as well as the influence of Route 66.
