Originally published in 1912 to debunk myths that had been floated
about Houston's founding and earliest years, it is now considered a
must-have book for collectors of Houston history. Nearly all later
works on Houston cite Dr. Young's excellent work. The text covers
the city's founding, the early mayors, Civil War and
Reconstruction. There are sections on early buildings, bridges, the
development of railroads and fire companies. It covers Houston's
early physicians and lawyers, the many, many newspapers, and the
first banks. There is much on Houston's military history, its
sawmills and cotton industry. Read about early literary efforts in
Houston, the Lyceum, Carnegie Library, and the founding of the Rice
Institute. Want to know about about early labor unions? The first
telegraphs? About how the telephone and electric lighting came to
town? It's all here.
