Born on the Island — Linda S. Bingham

Galveston sits on an island just east of Houston, Texas. A favorite tourist spot for decades, natives born on the island refer to each other as BOI. This is the story of one such family. On September 8, 1900 Galveston was struck by a killer hurricane. When Faith Kohl Coolidge returns from Europe in 1900, she finds her family decimated and her city in ruins. This is the story of one survivor's family and it is also Galveston's story. An Eakin Press Imprint from Wild Horse Media Group
