I explore one of Galveston's lost wharves that helped build the Republic of Texas and spur investment in Galveston Island in the 1840s and 1850s. Kuhn's Wharf and the long wooden piers that adorned the young port of Galveston attracted a population and commerce to Galveston Island, making it one of the richest cities in the republic, state, and United States through the 1800s.
Author and historian Ed Cotham Jr helps tell the story of the Battle of Galveston, which took place around Kuhn's Wharf and the Hendley Building on the Strand. Check out the Full Podcast with Mr. Ed Cotham Jr. on the Galveston Unscripted Podcast feed and RUclips.

Another great episode!
Another excellent video, JR! I think if you add in the fact that until the Panama Canal was built, Galveston played a key role in travel and shipping goods to the southwest, especially southern California via the railway system. No wonder Galveston was called "The Wall Street of the West!"
Great video, J.R.! I guess since at that time the waterfront was just beyond the Hendley Building at 20th Street, about 700 feet of where Kuhn's wharf stood is inland today due to infill.
What a great video! That happens to be my maiden name, and I know my family entered through the port of Galveston. It makes me wonder…
Good, but you didn't finish the story about the battle of Galveston. Perhaps you have another video about this? Also, when/why was Avenue B renamed the Strand?
