Catfish and Crystal by Ernest Kirschten. Garden City, NY, Doubleday & Co. 1960. An anecdotal and reverent history of St. Louis by a local newswriter. Very good at establishing for non-St. Louisans the character of the city and some of its significant events from its French colonial days to the 20th Century. No direct genealogy, but good descriptions of the lives of the more well-known early settlers and native sons. (Review submitted by Andy Beck at beck123@earthlink.net).

Pictorial St. Louis - the great metropolis of the Mississippi Valley: a topigraphical survey drawn in perspective, A. D. 1875. - Dry, Camille N. St. Louis: McGraw-Young Publishing, 1997. 215 pages, hard bound, oversized, on acid free paper. This is by far the most definitive work of this time period in St. Louis history. It's almost magical how this level of detail could have been accomplished in 1875. Some of the drawings almost look photographical. This is the third (at least) reprint of the original 1875 Atlas. A little pricey at $55, but well worth it. See next item...
(Index to) Pictorial St. Louis - the great metropolis of the Mississippi Valley: a topographical survey drawn in perspective, A. D. 1875. Dave Lossos, 1999. Privately printed. Pictorial St. Louis is both a brilliant, artistic feat and a baffling definition of "Who's Who" in St. Louis in the year 1875. As to whether your ancestors are listed or not seems based largely on what profession they were in, or their social status. Schools and churches are richly identified, yet cemeteries are seldom noted. My index contains about 5400 entries. Click here for this Index.
