Description

The Famous Faces of Indy's WTTV-4 Sammy Terry, Cowboy Bob, Janie and More by Julie Young. In the final months of the American Civil War, the upper Texas coast became a hub of blockade running. Despite being considered an isolated region in the conflict, Galveston emerged as one of the few strongholds for foreign imports, with long, fast steamships regularly arriving and departing from its port. This book explores the story of Texas's Civil War blockade runners, revealing a tale of daring, desperation, and sometimes, patriotism turning to profiteering. Author Julie Young delves into this fascinating period in American history, shedding light on the people who risked everything to bring goods to the embattled Confederate forces. With a focus on the individuals behind the blockade running, this book offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in the Civil War.
