Wilton, Boone County, Missouri: History and Stories of a River Town:

by David Sapp

Overview

Wilton in Boone County, Missouri, was born of the Missouri River, grew up with the coming of the railroad, and was drained of most of its energy by the automobile. It has been home to a succession of settlers, preachers, river men, speculators, entrepreneurs, and the "regular folks," all with visions and dreams.

In a way, its story is the story of small town America. In addition to the town's story, this book is especially rich with the names and actions of not only the movers and shakers but also the many folks who called the river bottoms near Wilton home.
