Excellent Video about my favorite hotel!

So cool seeing a home that once belonged in my family. We still have a few pieces of marble that we believe come from there.

Is anyone going to mention the constant flow of "clean" sewage from the water treatment facility that spews onto the beaches!?!? The Texas beaches test positive for high fecal matter every year.

Amazing! I live in Seabrook but love Galveston. Your production is very well done. I can imagine the time and effort that went into this presentation.

Love this

Americans from Eastern states also came to Texas via Galveston. My great, great maternal grandfather's family, who came from Kentucky, came via the Ohio River, then down the Mississippi River & into the Gulf. From there they traveled overland to the newly settled This was faster & safer than traveling overland to Collin County. Among this group were German Jews.

Here's a bit of aviation history: the Crash Boat Basin neighborhood. Ever wondered why it's called that? Well, it's built around the Army airfield crash boat basin - where "crash boats" departed to recover any aircrew who ditched while on patrol in the Gulf. I don't know if they ever had to go out, but that's how the area got its name.

Im a 1949 , Houston, Yes Jetties. We fished Galveston Bay to San Luis Pass and Grions was used, through the others are famous for mf rocks, dike, Austin's Granit

Great video and interview, J.R.! Long live the Texas Navy!

Very interesting to learn a little bit more about what the process of coming through Galveston was like for them. In the 1850s, a part of my family came from Germany through Ellis Island, and the other part came through Galveston. I'm from the Galveston branch, and I'm not sure we know what became of those in the north. In any case, my great-great grandfather purchased land in what is now Washington County, TX. Of course the original stake has been split and divided over the years, but I'm typing this from a portion of that right now, maybe 400 yards away from the spot where my great-great grandfather's home sat all those years ago. Anyway, very cool info!

Nice❤ E .A.

Would you happen to have any information about the Boots and Sandals Rebellion- where during an election they deployed the use of a cannon in downtown Galveston to win a fight! I thought it just a crazy story, though have little information. One on our Ancestors CM McDonald ( the local elementary school is named after him) was a major participant. He owned a General Store- the local Ferry and an interest in the Santo Tomas mines.

JR! A very informative and intriguing interview! A+!

Seems like history’s repeats itself

Very good! Scott Powell, president of TNA, provides some great tidbits of early Texas history.

Great and interesting video. One important correction to an offhanded comment at the end: at no point in the history of the united states since independence have most people here been immigrants. We are actually at a near all time high right now, as far as immigrant ratios go, at just 14%. Immigration was actually extremely low for almost all of American history prior to the 1960s, with a short exception to that rule in the late 1800s early 1900s. Its so extreme that even today, half of the ancestry of the American population is pre-revolutionary war. America has never been a nation of immigrants, our current state is the closest we’ve ever come.

I stayed here back in the mid 90s it was GORGEOUS! I really enjoyed my stay. Beautiful room. Comfortable bed. Big black whirlpool tub in the room. Heavenly 😇

I went there for a ghost tour 2 months ago and there are soooooo many crackheads running around! They were wandering around the cemetery, yelling at themselves, running behind us muttering nonsense....the guide said there's a number of Graves that were destroyed by crackheads going on rages and taking a hammer 🔨 to areas....be careful going here

Awesome interview I really enjoyed that one keep up the good work 🚀🚀🚀🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🫡🫡🫡🛥️🛶🚢⚓️🚣

Hey Jr, I have never asked this question... my question is why is there not a bridge over Offatts Bayou to the Moody Gardens area. That would reduce travel time so much to the nicest tourist attractions on the island. Yes, I am a golfer.

Btw lots of Menards in south west Louisiana

Very interesting and enjoyable . My mother’s family came to what is now Texas in 17th century. They wound up in Louisiana not by choice lol

What brown dirty water? People pay for mud baths you know. So jump in there or else I'll throw you in there. It's healthy.

Thanks for this explanation. We love our ferries, good to know they will be around.

We do have a lot of clay under as well…

Oil Spills, thats why. I went to Galveston and the sand stuck to my feet. Please. The cleanup chemicals have seeped into the beach sands and turned it into something nasty.

You have amazing content and as a history loving Texan myself, I have a super special place in my heart for Galveston. I Run a channel myself as well and would love the opportunity to talk to about potential collaboration. Keep up the amazing work

My great-great-great grandfather, along with his mother, his wife and four little children (three boys and a girl), arrived in Galveston from Germany in the fall of 1845. Like many, they were then transported down to Indianola where abysmal conditions awaited them. Several thousand would die in Indianola, or along the trail up to New Braunfels. He died, his mother died, and two of the little boys and the little girl died. Only his wife (my great-great-great grandmother), and one of the little boys (my great-great grandfather) survived to make it to New Braunfels.

I live on 9th street .the alleys are creepy especially the sound of wind going through them

Great storm 124 years ago today

It's funny how we lost the Tech to make those windows. When you mentioned it his body language while explaining the lost tech and the quick change of subject is telling. The lodge has the tech in the vault. The Mason lies clearly. We need to take the tech back in every single vault in every temple. The are holding society back and are evil period!

Whenever I experience the freeze in 2021 my house did not lose power. My city was actually mostly still powered.

I’m not sure why RUclips has been unsubscribing me from various channels including yours. But I’m back subscribed again

surprised that big cow could make it upstairs.

The wavy design on the old causeway exterior was incorporated into the new causeway in the center barrier I realized watching this video. They incorporated the old into the new. That is some great thinking of the people who designed the new causeway. What a great tribute.

😢 I’m pretty sure a pact is required. It’s so openly luciferian now. It’s not even a secret. The trained clairvoyants are way too smart.

Aim high.

Obelisks are an ancient shape of monument built for the pagan Egyptian god Ra. Obelisks originated in ancient Egypt around 2300 BCE, during the Old Kingdom period. The shape of an obelisk is thought to symbolize a single ray of the sun...originally used as funerary monuments and were believed to attract the sun's rays, which would help resurrect the deceased. Romans started using them and dedicated them to their pagan gods. Originally called "tekhenu" in Egyptian, the work Obelisk means "pointed instrument" in Greek.

I live about an hour and a half away from Galveston and you can’t pay me to go in that nasty water. I had my wedding in Galveston back in 2020, and Galveston is where I was born, but I’m not getting in that water lol. The island itself is beautiful and if it wasn’t for the nasty water Galveston would be perfect. It was so funny when people here were mad at what Charles Barkley said. I was like he’s not lying yall know our beaches here is dirty. I know a few months back there was some algae the was in the water and at night it gave the water a blue glowing illumination, and the waves were glowing blue from the algae. It was absolutely beautiful

I used to go out and play in the rain while growing up on Galveston Island. I had the whole world to myself. I'd come in soaking wet, when the lightning and thunder got closer, and my grandma would say "That boy is crazy, he's gonna catch his death of cold playing around out there like that". I didn't think I was crazy. I thought I was smart! Thank you for making and sharing this video.

While you were making this video I was sound asleep in my house over here Nere Ball High school. i slept like a baby.

Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing this! ❤

Dirty ass water

Wow. Awesome! 🩷😀

Wonderful interview, good information. I find myself coming across the same repetitive info when it comes to Texas history, but I always learn something on your channel

Texans have always treated Colorado as their personal annex. I work construction and they think they have privileges that they really don't.

Beautiful

What a liar!!

My family has a long history in Galveston. Love the island.
