Abstract
- The article discusses the economic conditions in Galveston, Texas in 1880. It offers information on the island's port which provided Galveston enough revenue to be considered the wealthiest city in the world in 1891. It provides an analysis of data about the ethnic composition, marriage patterns, and household structure of the men who were most closely tied to the island's export sector during this period.
