Volume I covers two capitals of the Republic of Texas, the first major seaport, an important steamboat terminal, an outlaw haven, a significant crossroads settlement, and the ghost of intended Houston. Only one of them survives as a major city today, but they were all important in their glory days. The chapters include: East and West Columbia, Egypt, Matagorda, Houston, Texana, and Helena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTown histories tend to focus on institutions rather than individuals. This book, however, is about much more than general stores, hotels, banks, and churches. An emphasis is placed on the achievements and exploits of the town founders, builders, and prominent later residents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Tom Davis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1681790971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681790978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wild Horse Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Joe Tom Davis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125182230783,"sku":"9781681790978","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_022d76fe-6d2c-4ecb-b9cf-4b46e4108e30.jpg?v=1687441128","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historic-towns-of-texas-joe-tom-davis-9781681790978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
