Mike Cox, "Legends & Lore of the Texas Capitol"
English | ISBN: 1540216756 | 2017 | 226 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
From its beginning as one of the most ambitious construction projects west of the Mississippi, the imposing red granite Lone Star statehouse loomed large in Texas lore. The iconic landmark rests on a foundation of election rigging, an unsolved murder, land swaps and pre-dedication blackmail. It bore witness to the first meeting between LBJ and Lady Bird, as well as a bizarre resolution honoring the Boston Strangler. Mike Cox digs up a quarry's worth of the capitol's untold history, cataloguing everything from its ghost stories to its public art and collectible tourist kitsch.

Andrew W. Hall, "Civil War Blockade Running on the Texas Coast"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1626195005, 1540224732 | ASIN: B00XRSH4GK | EPUB | pages: 144 | 1.7 mb
In the last months of the American Civil War, the upper Texas coast became a hive of blockade running. Though Texas was often considered an isolated backwater in the conflict, the Union's pervasive and systematic seizure of Southern ports left Galveston as one of the only strongholds of foreign imports in the anemic supply chain to embattled Confederate forces. Long, fast steamships ran in and out of the city's port almost every week, bound to and from Cuba. Join author Andrew W. Hall as he explores the story of Texas's Civil War blockade runners-a story of daring, of desperation and, in many cases, of patriotism turning coat to profiteering.
