Beschreibung

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.

Anbieterinformationen

The books of an old bookie -- i.e., a book enthusiast and collector for many years. They have become TOO MANY, and it's time to go about selling them. My areas of specialisation are Texana and folklore, with smaller collections of history and children's fiction and non-fiction between 1930 and 1970.

Gesch�ftsbedingungen:

Dies ist weder Half Price Books noch Strand Bookstore, sondern eine Person, die B�cher als Nebenbesch�ftigung und Leidenschaft verkauft. Wenn Sie mit mir Gesch�fte machen, haben Sie mit ***mir ***zu tun, nicht mit einem anonymen Angestellten. Ich gehe davon aus, dass die Verk�ufe endg�ltig sind, au�er im Falle von erheblichen Zustandsabweichungen oder verlorenen und verirrten Sendungen, und missbillige die Reue des K�ufers.

Versandinformationen:

Books will be wrapped securely in unused newspaper stock and shipped in bubble-padded mailing envelopes. Additional bubble-wrap may be included for large, heavy, or specially fragile items. After multiple instances of the US Post Awful losing books for me (it averaged about one per month) I have changed to UPS for US domestic shipments. Unfortunately, this also means I CANNOT ship to Post Office box addresses any longer (the delivery trucks won't fit into the little boxes) and I have to charge more S&H than I used.

I send international shipments via the broker Global Post, at International First Class rates. This will of necessity delay delivery at times.
