Gregg Andrews¹ "City of Dust: A Cement Company Town in the Land of Tom
Sawyer" has received Phi Alpha Theta¹s 1997 Best Book Award in the Category

residents, New London officials, and prominent judges and attorneys in the
Hannibal area. If anyone has memories of these sisters or anything related
to their role in the community, contact Andrews by mail at: Department of
