Last little bit of millions of pieces

From the latest The Economist report on St. Louis, Missouri:

"Almost by accident, environmentalists discovered that an untouched 25-acre plot in the cemetery was one of the last bits of the prairie that, till the early 19th century, covered most of the site of present-day St Louis."

The cemetery has both the remains of Dred Scott (yes, that one) and, for some Nimiipuu people,

"An important new monument was dedicated in 2003 to the memory of four Nez Perce warriors, two of whom died in St. Louis while visiting William Clark after his expedition through the Louisiana Territory. The warriors had been baptized during their stay in St. Louis, which was intended to gather information and contacts that would empower their people in a land now under the control of European culture."

Oh yeah, that paedocidal maniac, W.T. Sherman is buried there, too.
