The Texas town of Indianola was destroyed by two severe hurricanes in the late nineteenth century, but for decades it was a major port and point of entry for the Lone Star State, as well as the start of a trail that led to San Antonio, the Hill Country, and Chihuahua, Mexico. This volume by Brownson Malsch takes a chronological look at the town's history from 1844 to 1886, when it was hit by the second of the two storms.

The author shows how settlers of diverse backgrounds from both America and Europe cooperated in building the school, lighthouse, newspaper, railroad, and other aspects of the town. The book describes in detail anecdotes of small-town life along the Texas coast in the nineteenth century down to how Christmas was celebrated. A fascinating anecdote recalls the arrival at Indianola of camels for use in Texas.

Life on the Texas coast was not easy then--settlers had to face shipwrecks, yellow fever and other diseases, extreme weather, and other hardships. Northern troops occupied the town during the Civil War, and the Mexican War and Panic of 1873 affected Indianola as well. Malsch interviewed many former Indianola residents, and these interviews were instrumental in the author's outstanding description of the hurricane of 1875.

Had no major hurricanes hit, Indianola might have survived, but it was not to be. This book is a vivid portrait of life in early Texas as well as a reminder of the role that fate and chance play in history.

I bought this book solely for researching Indianola for a book I am writing. What a great help it was. I commend the author for all the stories, detail, and endless hours of research that went into this book. Indianola's story is not always a happy but it rose above the ashes more than once. If you like Texas history, you will want this book in your collection.

This is a very well-researched book. A little dry reading unless you are a Texas history buff like me.
