German immigrant Tony Faust entered rough and rowdy St. Louis in the mid-nineteenth century. As patriarch of the Faust family, he lived lavishly. Tony’s savvy son, Edward, rose to the top of the St. Louis business elite, and in so doing, 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. 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.
A narrative that has never been told, Oysters to Angus is historically important to both St. Louis City and County. Elizabeth Terry is an historian and author in St. Louis.
