Illustrated with 15 woodcuts by Lowell Collins. In 1850 Texas was producing less than half million bales of cotton on land capable of producing 3 to 5 million bales. The problems were transportation, slave labor and the associated problem of bringing slaves through Cuba and Central America. With secession this brought Texas in direct conflict with the federal government. Galveston dominated the Texas coastal areas in terms of trade, banking and journalism. It was the largest city in Texas and known as Queen City of the Gulf. The study of this struggle is the theme of this book. Contents in Three Parts: A Profile of Galveston, Texas Crescent Cotton Expansion Avant-Garde of Secession, and The Climax. This story is told in Seven Chapters: The Island City An Introduction, Formal and informal Institutions, The Social Scene, Editor-Publisher Politicians, The Railroads Transportation for Cotton, the Problem of Slave Labor, and Secession Galveston. Includes Sources and Bibliography.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Collins, Lowell (illustrator). 1st Edition. xiv, 355 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm. ; dark green cloth ; spine-sunned dj in mylar. The "Queen City" of Texas they called her or the "Octopus of the Gulf." Galveston from 1845 to 1860 was the center of culture in Texas or the monster with an economic strangle hold on all Texas trade. It was a city with wide paved streets, impressive buildings, and neat gardens; yet it was also a pestilence-ridden place where no sanitary code was ever enforced and where one in every two children died before reaching maturity. Its citizens, avid for culture and knowledge, attended concerts and plays in great numbers and exhibited an eager interest in science and history; yet they could not be brought to support the school system. Galveston was a city where no person in need was ever left uncared for, where the sick and needy strangers or friends were succored; yet no free Negro was safe from legalized abduction and forced enslavement, and the city served as a center for the revived African slave trade.
