The narrative centers on the life and work of Bill Hill, who served as the city editor of The Sedalia Democrat. After his passing, his daughter uncovered a manuscript detailing Sedalia's history and its connection to Scott Joplin. The book features interviews with notable ragtime composers, G. Thomas "Tom" Ireland and Arthur Marshall, providing firsthand accounts of the era. Although Bill's original notes are missing, he cites his sources throughout the text, adding authenticity to this historical account.
