Synopsis
Tony Faust entered rough and rowdy St. Louis in the mid-nineteenth century. As patriarch of the Faust family, he lived lavishly while rebelling against those who wished to shut down his saloon. Tony's savvy son, Edward, rose to the top of the St. Louis business elite, and in doing so, shunned his German-American heritage. In contrast, Tony Faust's steady grandson Leicester quietly built his farm in St. Louis County. That land became his legacy: a park built upon the proud Faust name.
This scholarly work boasts original research and provides a fresh perspective on pivotal events in St. Louis history. Through it all, the Fausts navigate the timeline alongside the iconic Busch family, firmly entrenching themselves as movers and shakers of the St. Louis scene. In Oysters to Angus, Elizabeth Terry accomplishes the challenge of providing both an academic study and a must-read account of one of America's influential families.
