A Book by William L. Thomas, 1911

One of the landmark publications in St. Louis County history was The History of St. Louis County, Missouri, volume 1, by William L. Thomas, first published in 1911 by the S. J. Clarke Publishing Company. Thomas’s book told the story of the county from its beginnings to the turn of the twentieth century. Filled with names, dates, places, photos, and wonderful historical details, the book was out of print and difficult to find outside of libraries and archives until recently.

In 2011, a St. Louis publisher, Todd Abrams, republished this treasure, making it available to all researchers. Although the reprinted book does have an index, it is not complete because it is just a duplication of what was in the original book. Hence, with Mr. Abrams’s permission, StLGS volunteers have re-indexed the book, and that index is presented below. Make note of the page numbers you need. You can find the book at most local libraries and at the StLGS office.
