I am a resident of the Gateway City and this book caught my eye. I'm not a literary critic by profession, and can only provide my personal experience. There is a large cast of characters. St. Louis' roots are decidedly French, and I have difficulty keeping all the French names straight. I suppose I was expecting more in depth stories of fewer characters, beginning with their arrival in St. Louis, rather than information about many people, beginning with their lives in France. It seems to be a straightforward historical record, rather than a book about the founders' personal lives. I have not gotten far into the book; it may become easier to read.
