The animal wealth of the western "wilderness" provided by talented "savages" encouraged French-Americans from Illinois, Canada and Louisiana to found a cosmopolitan center of international commerce that was a model of multicultural harmony. Historian J. Frederick Fausz offers a fresh interpretation of Saint Louis from 1764 to 1804, explaining how Pierre Lacl de, the early Chouteaus, Saint Ange de Bellerive and the Osage Indians established a "gateway" to an enlightened, alternative frontier of peace and prosperity before Lewis and Clark were even born. Historians, genealogists and general readers will appreciate the well-researched perspectives in this engaging story about a novel French West long ignored in American History.

Judge Cleveland adheres to the Methodist tenets because of the broad and liberal grounds they occupy, while he accepts orthodox Christianity in every guise, and looks more to the life of the individual than to the particular creed or theory of church government he may espouse. His political principles are characteristically Demo cratic. Judge Cleveland became a Mason in 1848. In Liberty Lodge No. 48, and was master of that lodge for sixteen years. He has also taken the Royal Arch degrees. He was deputy district grand master for the first judicial district for several years.
