It starts with introductory chapters on Senor Galvez, early exploration of the Texas coast, and Galveston during the Civil War. From there, it explores one of the most colorful railroads in America, the Galveston, Colorado, and Santa Fe Railroad, and how it moved from its humble beginnings to being part of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad. It is a study in vitality, the very spirit of a growing America. Included are maps, illustrations, appendices, a bibliography, and an index. This copy is clean and solid.
