Galveston and the Civil War - Bibliography

This page represents an interactive version of the Bibliography from my book, Galveston and the Civil War: An Island City in the Maelstrom (The History Press, 2012)!

Wherever possible, I have included hyperlinks to period documents and archives so that you can explore the material yourself!  If the period book or document is not in the public domain, then a link to amazon.com is provided.

  •  The letters from this collection used in the book were written to New Orleans Archbishop Jean Marie Odin; Bishop Odin was previously (until 1861) the bishop of Galveston.  He had many friends in Galveston and they kept up correspondence with him during the war.  I would encourage you to visit the UND Archives Calendar (here).  Many Civil War treasures can be found in the 1861-65 summaries.  You can see my blog post about Bishop Odin and the UND Calendar here.
