I think it's more a case of St. Louis being on the river. Travelers from both Philly, and Baltimore either ended up in Pittsburgh, or Wheeling, with folks continuing down the river to Cincy, Louisville, and then either up to St. Louis, or down to New Orleans. The Philly influence is felt all along the rivers.
Fantastic thread by the way. I love the lack of touristy stuff. You got to the real nitty gritty!!!
