Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Port of Galveston and the State of Texas Very lovely is Galveston, this Oleander City of Texas, far from destitute of either picturesque prospects or urban charms. Far different too, its aspects, from those at its genesis, in 1837, when it was visited by the distinguished ornithologist Ando bon, who, beholding nothing more invit ing, of its site, than marsh and mud flat, and its only rara avz's disporting in the well-ruffled plumage of the then new made Lone Star Republic, was not much impressed with the place. The morass he saw has been converted since. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Story of the Galveston Flood: Complete, Graphic, Authentic The Story of the Galveston Flood is a graphic account of one of the most remarkable disasters of modern times. The island on which the city stands was swept by the waters of the Gulf of Mexico for six hours. Accompanied by a storm which lashed the whole Texas coast with terrible fury for sixteen hours, and even now the cause of the rising of the waters is but imperfectly understood. The wind blew, it the testimony of those present is to be believed. From the north east, veering around to the east. Its force was from sixty to one hundred miles an hour, and it would seem that their force was such as to drive the waters out to sea faster than they could flow in. But the flood came, and the island was cov ered to the depth of three feet in the highest places.and there the waters remained, though lashed to foam. By the force of the hurricane, a sort of inexplicable riddle of the apparent violation of the laws of nature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Galveston: The Horrors of a Stricken City; Portraying by Pen and Picture the Awful Calamity That Befell the Queen City on the Gulf and the Terrible Scenes That Followed the Disaster The history of Texas since it became to a considerable degree settled by Americans, who finally rebelled against Mexico and made good their rebellion by sanguinary vic tories, is full of wars and rumors of wars. The Mexi cans were enabled to reinforce from the tribes of war-like Indians numerous and adventurous on the headwaters of the Texan Rivers. The most formidable tribe was the Comanches. The Indian troubles in Texas lasted longer and were more serious than in the case of any other State. After the annexation of Texas the great field of operations of the army of the United States was Texas. The wars with the Indians were severe and protracted struggles, so that there was ample occupation for our crack regiments to a great extent in defending the settlers who pushed for ward with extraordinary hardihood and warred with the Comanches and their allies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Galveston Disaster: Containing a Full and Thrilling Account of the Most Appalling Calamity of Modern Times Thousands of men, women and children swept to sudden death. Millions of dollars worth of property destroyed. Scenes of suffering and desolation that beggar description. Heroic efforts to save human life. The world shocked by the appalling news. Such is the thrilling story of the Galveston flood, and in this volume it is told with wonderful power and effect. There have been many disasters by storm and flood in modern times, but none to equal this. In the brief space of twelve hours more persons lost their lives than were killed during a year of the war between the British and the Boers or during a year and a half of our war in the Philippines. The calamity came suddenly. Galveston was not aware of its impending fate. News of an approaching cyclone produced no alarm. Suddenly word was sent that the hurricane was bending from its usual course and might strike the city. Even then there was no sudden fear, no hurrying to escape, no thought of swift destruction. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, the city waked up to the awful fact that it was to be engulfed by a tidal wave, and buried in the flood of waters. The news of the overwhelming disaster came as a shock to people everywhere. Bulletin boards in all our cities were surrounded by eager crowds to obtain the latest reports. Many who had friends in the stricken city were kept in suspense respecting their fate. With bated breath was the terrible calamity talked about, and in every part of our country committees of relief were immediately formed. The magnitude of the disaster grew from day to day. Every fresh report added to the intelligence already received, and it was made clear that a large part of the city of Galveston, with its inhabitants, had been swept out of existence. This work furnishes a striking description of a great city of the dead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
