Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Old St. Louis This volume is the result of an effort to present the interesting story of the adventurous lives led by the inhabitants of St. Louis in early times, in a form accessible to all, and in a book of size convenient for use. This story has been told before in bulky volumes that may be found upon the shelves of reference rooms in our libraries, but our people know little of the wonderful life of our early pioneers. Few of our children are acquainted with the heroic history of our forefathers in the Mississippi Valley. They can tell of the struggles and accomplishments of the colonists on the Atlantic seaboard, but they have heard little of the greater struggles by which our own section of the United States was wrested from the wilderness. The epic story of this life of our pioneers is about to be presented in dramatic form in the "Pageant and Masque of St. Louis," for the purpose of arousing our people to pride in the glorious past and to unison of effort in the early accomplishment of yet greater things in the future. This prose story of old days in St. Louis is issued in furtherance of that purpose. That the people may appreciate and enjoy the drama, it is necessary they should know the facts of our history, and something of the kind of people who made St. Louis, what manner of life they lived, how they appeared, what forces they encountered and overcame. To give such basis for the enjoyment of the "Pageant and Masque" is the purpose of this volume. No credit for original research is made by him who has prepared it. He has selected freely, from whatever source was found available, the narratives of events deemed suitable to the purpose.

The reader must not look for a history of St Louis, that is, for a chronological and methodical account of the actions of his life and the events of his reign. This would not, in our opinion, correspond to the general design of the collection in which this essay is to find a place. We have thought it better to make a study of the character and sanctity of this great Christian and royal person, considered under the different aspects of his private and public life. It has been our ideal to present to our readers a series of historic pictures in stained glass, devoted to the life of St Louis.

But though his expression of thanks must take this form, he nevertheless feels it his duty to single out four names and a business house for special reference - namely, Miss May Simonds, Reference Librarian of the Mercantile Library, for assistance in looking up material in works of reference; Mr. William T'release, Di rector oi the Missouri Botanical Garden, for ad vice in regard to horticultural and botanical matters; Mr. Francis E. A. Curley, of the Art Museum, for material pertaining to art; Rev. John O. Burke, S.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Louis, the Future Great City of the World: With Biographical Sketches of the Representative Men and Women of St. Louis and Missouri In presenting the historical sketch Of St. Louis, I feel a laudable pride, believing that it is the best yet published, and that it will be so decided by the reader. In the history of the city, the greater attention has been given to that dim traditionary period, the record Of which is fragmentary, and which, therefore, requires our efforts to preserve from that decay which follows all events inscribed only in the recollection Of men. The records of our later history as a city, have been too fully and voluminously kept to run the risk of oblivion, and their elabo ration is left to some future historian. The statistics and facts, which set forth the present advancement of St. Louis in her material growth, have been collected with care, and are presented without exaggeration or any unnecessary ornament. In their simplicity they are eloquent of a present full Of grandeur, and a future glowing with brighter promise than the achievements of the past can even measure. In that promise, so plainly to be read, so far on its way to fulfillment, I see the consummation of my great ambition for the city of my home, the city of my ardent hope and love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketches a Retrospect of Fifty Years of St. Louis Church: With Preliminary Chapters on the Early Days of Webster and Dudley The object of this work is to place in the hands of our people the record of the first fifty years of their Church's life. As a fitting and interesting introduction to the story of the work of St. Louis', we have devoted the first two chapters of the "Sketches" to the history of the locality which has been the scene of her activity. The first chapter deals with the aborigines, the ancient Nipmucks, and tells of their character, mode of life and the events which led practically to their extermination. It is worthy of note that the original parish of St. Louis', extending from Palmer eastward to Worcester, and from Barre and Spencer on the north and southerly into Connecticut - thus covering the southern central part of the state - embraced by far the greater part of the Nipmuck country. The second chapter tells of the passing of the land of the Nipmucks into the hands of the colonists, and the settlement of our section of the Nipmuck country. The work then takes up the appearance of Catholics on the scene, and their efforts to establish a parish - efforts which were at last crowned with success. The origin of the parish and its growth under the three pastors it has known during the fifty years of its existence are then given. This portion of the work contains life sketches and pictures of the priests who labored here before the establishment of the parish, of the three pastors of St. Louis', and of all the assistants who have ever been located here.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genealogical Material in the St. Louis Public Library Today, although it is true that this collection still lacks important sets, it has reached a point in its development where fairly satisfactory research is possible. Naturally, in view of the fact that acquisitions are constantly being received, this list must serve merely as a basis or guide. Since, however, current additions to the collection are listed in the Library's Monthly Bulletins, persons interested may, with little trouble, possess an up-to-date catalogue. It is, of course, impossible to mention all titles which afford genealogical information, for most biographies and histories might be included. Contrary to the custom of many libraries the greater part of the collection here listed is kept upon open shelves in the Reference Room. Such easy access arouses much favorable comment for reasons easily understood. It scarcely needs to be urged that a small collection used exhaustively is more satisfactory than resources inaccessible and material unsuspected.

AS early as the year 1809, shortly after the return of Lewis and Clark from the expedition to the Pacific Ocean, my father came from North Carolina to Upper Louisiana, and pur chased six hundred acres of land on the waters of Bonhomme Creek, in what was then called the St. Louis District, Louisiana Territory, bringing some negroes with him, with a view of establishing a farm and of removing his family to the country. He returned to North Carolina, leaving his plantation in charge of John Ward, a respectable farmer then living on the waters of Creve Coeur Lake. For some years he was deterred from bringing his family on account of the danger and trouble said to exist from the Indians.
