Texas Tales and Tall Ships by Malcom Lee Johnson Pdf

All the "little facts" you never learned in school. Have you ever wondered how many "Republic's of Texas" have there been? You probably will be "shocked" at the answer.

When and by whom? Have you ever wondered which was the "very first" steamboat to come to Texas and what happened to it? You will probably be surprised! Have you ever wondered what roll did Texas play during World War II? And were there any casualties? Have you ever wondered where the "Original Capitol of Texas" was? Hint, today to visit this historic place, you will have to travel out of state! Yes! Texas used to be even bigger! If you have ever pondered any of these questions, then you really do need to read the two-volume book Texas Tales and Tall Ships by Malcom Lee Johnson.

Galveston's the Elissa: The Tall Ship of Texas by Kurt D. Voss Pdf

For nearly three decades, the 1877 sailing ship Elissa has been widely recognized as one of the finest maritime preservation projects in the world. Unlike some tall ships of today, the Elissa is not a replica but a survivor. Over her century-long commercial history, she carried cargoes to ports around the world for a succession of owners. Her working life as a freighter came to an end in Piraeus, Greece, where she was rescued from the salvage yard by a variety of ship preservationists who refused to let her die. The story of Elissa's discovery and restoration by the Galveston Historical Foundation is nothing short of miraculous.

Texas and Her Fifty-Nine Flags by Lawrence Drake Williams, Jr. Pdf

Texans are fiercely proud of their “Lone Star” flag. It has flown from foxholes, been displayed at military bases around the world, and even been to space. Most Americans don’t even know that the state has had a grand total of fifty-nine different flags over the course of its great history. Texas and Her Fifty-Nine Flags explores the standards for a different approach to a history of Texas. Throughout each chapter, the author provides a story taken from history texts, research and anecdotes collected during his teaching and travels, which took fifteen years. This unique history of Texas will captivate the reader from the first Spanish flag through revolutions and pirates, to the “Bonnie Blue Flag” of the Civil War.
