Walking Historic Galveston

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.
