History of the Lou with Sue: The Admiral & Bloody Island

This week on HOTLWS, Sue is joined by local historian and author Joe Sonderman who takes us through the history of the SS Admiral. It was a fixture on the St. Louis riverfront for decades...where did it come from and where did it go? Next, Andrew Wanko, Public Historian for the Missouri Historical Society introduces us to a man who thought St. Louis should be the capitol of the U.S., and talks about Bloody Island, where St. Louisans used to go to DUEL. That's right...we had a specific place for that!
