Wicked Joplin

Larry Wood

A strange sort of pride tends to embellish infamy, like the notion that Frank and Jesse James robbed every bank in Missouri. But the citizens of Joplin need not exaggerate their community’s unsavory past. Founded in the 1870s as a booming lead-mining camp, Joplin was a wide-open town from the start, and its wild reputation persisted into the mid-twentieth century. A neighboring town’s newspaper aptly described Joplin as a naughty place. ? Join author Larry Wood on a colorful tour of the city’s raucous past.
