Sunset Hills Prehistoric Past To More Current Past

After reading an earlier posting by editor Dan Barger on the subject of the prehistoric past of Sunset Hills I noticed it was of similar depiction of history described  by  the  Sunset Hills Historical  Society and I was curious if much has ever been written about the land in which Sunset Country Club sits upon .  When  I  saw Mr. Barger's posting , a photo of a mounting of Indian artifacts reminded me of a much larger and higher quantity of arrowheads and stone tools that were allegedly found on the approximately  177  acres  of  the  Country  Club  property . A  room  once  called  the  Thunderbird  Room  in  the  club  was  lined  with  paintings  and  artifacts  of  Indians  , who , at  the  time  , our  schools  left  out  the  history  of  the  people  who  had  walked  on  the  ground  before  us , so I never knew what tribe or nation of Indians had made the hundreds of arrowheads displayed  there .  The  articles  and  postings on Sunset  Hills  website and this news posting  briefly  talk  about  Sunset Hills  Indian  grave  sights  and  mention  the  Indian  tribes the Sauk and the Reynards .  It  is  interesting  that  both  of  these  words Sauk and Reynard  are  reference  to  a  fox .  There  had  been  a skulk or troop of fox within  these  177  acres  for  many  years . Thus the repeated naming of subdivisions , such as Fox Meadows etc... To avoid  a  massive  man  hunt  to  rid  another  animal  that  had  claim  to  Sunset  Hills before even the Indians , I will leave it as" the legend has it" the ghosts of these fox still frequent and on occasion  one  can  hear  the  midnight  scream  of  the  legendary  fox . Or  it  could  Charlie Morgan , getting in a late practice round . Speaking of which , his wife Peg Morgan claimed to have found several  arrowheads  herself  on  the  course  through  the  years . My  point  of this  little  story  is  that  Sunset  Country  Club  is  a  large  part  of  the  history  of  Sunset  Hills,  that  may  contain  in  it's  basement / closed  off  underground  cave  below  it  , more history that some might find interesting  . It  may  already  be  being  shared  or  it  could  be  overlooked . I know back in the 1990's golf pro Gary Fears had somehow stumbled on old photos of the original  two  story  clubhouse , with a stained glass ladies locker room  and  separate   pro  shop  in  back  of  the  original  # 1  tee  along  Geyer Rd..  Though  August  Busch  Sr. and  and  his  mother  Lily  Anheuser were not founders of area salt springs , they were certainly  allowing  their  horses  to  drink  from  streams  throughout  as  they  rode  on  the  many  horse  trails  still evident  throughout  this  part  of  Sunset  Hills .  Starting  the  largest  brewery  in  the  world  deserves  at  least  a  mention , though some  of  my  close  friends  may  disagree . A bit like walking through  the  Busch  castle  and  not  seeing  a  single  photo  of  August  Busch  III  or  IV . The absence  draws  more  attention  than  mention .
