Fr. Faherty has done it again!,

This review is from: The St. Louis German Catholics (Paperback)
Fr. Faherty has done it again! "The St. Louis German Catholics" is another contribution to the documentary history of St. Louis. I have often heard Fr. Faherty say that he wrote this book as a sequel to "The Irish In St. Louis " (see my Amazon review) because of all the Irish who had married Germans. Being one of those Irish, I decided to give it a look. I was delighted!
This book which can be appreciated in many ways. I read the surnames of friends and the histories of parishes with which I am familiar. From the pages of this book I developed an appreciation of the contributions of the St. Louis Germans to the religious, commercial and social life of St. Louis. Ever the historian, Fr. Faherty is not satisfied until he explains the developments in Germany which drove its citizens to St. Louis. A consistent explanation is that Bismarck's anti-Catholic policies were a major factor in German immigration to St. Louis. For anyone with an interest in St. Louis, German immigration to America or Church history, "The St. Louis German Catholics" is a must. |
