Isaac’s Storm is a great book. It got me fascinated in Galveston history.
Never try to build a great city on a sand bar.
Viva la BOI

I’ve got Isaac’s Storm......amazing how they built that city so high after the storm......
For some interesting Galveston history, do a search on “Maceo Crime Family.” Their wing of the Mafia ruled Galveston and the immediate area for decades. One of their grandsons is Tillman Firtitta, owner of the Golden Nugget casinos, jillions of restaurants and the Houston Rockets. The several Vic and Anthony’s steak houses are named for two of the Maceo family, Fertitta’s uncles.
