A collection of poems, ballads, quotes, and prose about Galveston, Texas.
Jean Elizabeth Ward has lived equally in the North and in the South. Has traveled abroad and has a background as versified as her poetry. In September 1999 she moved into the old part of Seabrook, close to the Kemah bridge. Needing to be as close to the sea as she could be. Dreams and nightmares began and she began to keep a journal of them, not realizing exactly what they were until someone told her that it sounded like she might be dreaming of Galveston. When she bought a computer she began to do research on the names she had imagined/Dreamed, finding them to be real people. She finally organized her poetry and prose with the only thought of preserving them for her Grandchildren. Finally deciding to publish them, hoping they would not be received in a negative way. Either way it has been cathartic for her as she continues to live by the bay with her little blind dog, writing her book and illustrating them.
From the bestselling author of The Devil in the White City, here is the true story of the deadliest hurricane in history. National Bestseller September 8, 1900, began innocently in the seaside town of Galveston, Texas. Even Isaac Cline, resident meteorologist for the U.S. Weather Bureau failed to grasp the true meaning of the strange deep-sea swells and peculiar winds that greeted the city that morning. Mere hours later, Galveston found itself submerged in a monster hurricane that completely destroyed the town and killed over six thousand people in what remains the greatest natural disaster in American history--and Isaac Cline found himself the victim of a devastating personal tragedy. Using Cline's own telegrams, letters, and reports, the testimony of scores of survivors, and our latest understanding of the science of hurricanes, Erik Larson builds a chronicle of one man's heroic struggle and fatal miscalculation in the face of a storm of unimaginable magnitude. Riveting, powerful, and unbearably suspenseful, Isaac's Storm is the story of what can happen when human arrogance meets the great uncontrollable force of nature.
Alleys and back buildings have been largely overlooked in studies of the American urban environment. And yet, rental alley houses, servant and slave quarters, carriage houses, stables, and other secondary structures have lined the alleys and filled the backyards of Galveston since its early days as a growing port city on the upper Texas Gulf Coast. Like their counterparts in other cities, these buildings and their inhabitants have had a profound visual, physical, and social impact on the history and development of Galveston. Interweaving written documents, oral interviews, and pictorial images, Beasley presents a vivid picture of Galveston’s alleys and alley life from the founding of the city into the twentieth century. The book blends a unique combination of research, photography, and the voices of those who have lived and live along the alleys. Beasley has uncovered and analyzed a wealth of new information not only about the back buildings of Galveston but also about their occupants and the complex cultural forces at work in their lives.
