| Summary: | Walking Historic Galveston: A Guide to its Neighborhoods is the city's first practical, comprehensive walking guide of the Island's most concentrated historic areas with interesting anecdotes about the people of their past. Written in a very readable voice, the book is designed for the "Everyman" who wanders the city streets and wonders about the inside human stories of those who lived, loved, and worked in the unusual buildings that survived them. Fifth generation Galvestonian JAN JOHNSON has been seriously studying the Island's rich history as a Tour Guide since 1982. Based on her driving tours, Walking Historic Galveston: A Guide to Its Neighborhoods offers walker-friendly routes of portions of nine distinct districts recognized as historical on the Island. |
