Galveston's Broadway Cemeteries | Kathleen Shanahan Maca

1 post | 1 read

Beginning in 1839 with the donation of four square blocks of land, the grouping of cemeteries on the central boulevard of Galveston has grown to include seven separate cemeteries within their gates. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, it is the resting place of famous and infamous citizens from Galveston's colorful past, including veterans from every war between 1812 and the present, heroes, scoundrels, philanthropists, murderers, pioneers of the Republic of Texas, groundbreaking scientists, and working-class citizens from around the world. Due to several grade raisings, there are up to three layers of burials within the cemetery, with some of the markers being lost forever. The stories of some of the "residents" are gathered here for you to enjoy.

Galveston's Broadway Cemeteries | Kathleen Shanahan Maca

I wrote this book to share it only the history of the cemeteries themselves, but of some of the fascinating people who rest there: millionaires, bartenders, soldiers, philanthropists, ships captains, scoundrels and more. I hope you enjoy it!
