During the first half of the nineteenth century, Alton was actually the largest town in the state of Illinois. The town was billed as the \u201cmost desirable place to live on the east side of the Mississippi River,\u201d St. Louis began to be referred to \u2013 much to the dismay of its political and business leaders \u2013 as \u201cthe little town downriver from Alton.\u201d\xa0There are three industries in the area linked to ghostly tales from Alton\u2019s past. We\u2019re going to explore two of them today.
