Ballwin

Set in the early 1800s, the story follows John Ball, a young settler who purchases 400 acres in Missouri and embarks on a journey to establish his own identity. Influenced by the migration of Kentucky settlers led by Daniel Boone, Ball's efforts in farming and later developing city blocks along Manchester Road lay the foundation for the town of Ballwin. The narrative highlights his pioneering spirit and the historical significance of his contributions to the community's growth.
