Description: Carthage, Missouri, Images of America, Paperback Translated as "New City," Carthage was founded in 1842 as the county seat of Jasper in southwest Missouri. The town prospered for two decades untilmilitary advances during the Civil War destroyed the entire town and dispersed its population. This volume, assembled by the Powers Museum, offers a pictorial glimpse into the rebuilding and growth ofthis historic city during its most influential years.The citizens of Carthage quickly rebuilt the city during the late 1860s and early 1870s, and eventuallyreclaimed its pre-war prominence as an agriculturaland trade center located at the edge of the northernprairies and the Ozark foothills. When lead, zinc, and limestone were discovered and developed intoprosperous industries, families began to arrive fromall over to take advantage of the area's economicopportunities. Carthage's trademark Victorianarchitecture, still in place today, is a result of the economic affluence of the town during this latenineteenth and early twentieth century period.
