Galveston, Texas, in 1910 was a busy Gulf port still recovering from the hurricane of September 1900, which killed thousands and wrecked much of the island's low-lying city. Local leaders answered with a seawall begun in 1902 and a costly project to raise the grade of the streets and lift buildings by jackscrew, a rebuilding effort that residents followed closely. Cotton shipping, wharves, and the banks and commission houses of the Strand drove the local economy, and the population was roughly 36,000. Galvestonians of the day knew their city as a commercial center of the Texas coast, a place where the view across the water and the rows of downtown buildings signaled that the town had survived the storm and was rebuilding.
