The Samuel May Williams Home: The Life and Neighborhood of an Early Galveston Entrepreneur

By Margaret Swett Henson and Deoloce Parmalee

Built in the winter of 1839-1840, this house, and the Texas pioneer who inhabited it, are the central focus of this thoroughly researched and well-written study of Galveston's merchant elite--Gail Borden, Michel Menard, Thomas McKinney, and others--a generation of leaders who did much to shape their city and Texas itself.
