In this comparison I chose to pick St. Louis in 1862 vs Alton in 1906. Based on the data there was a cross between the Cirrus I noticed how regardless to the word count difference both are centered around the words City and St. Louis. I would have thought the Alton one would be more focused on Alton itself and the history, but since it’s in the metro area of St. Louis it makes more sense as to why it appears in the article still. Also seeing how St. Louis 1862 had way more information about the city and what took place compared to the Alton 1906 and that could be due to the fact that STL is still bigger than Alton therefore have more information about what took place.
