Paperback. Condition: Fine. Dust jacket condition: No Jacket (as issued). Very nice and clean. Text free of highlighting and writing. Tightly bound. Appears as new and unread. Sylvan Beach is synonymous with bathing beauties, moonlit pavilions, the jitterbug, the Charleston, and a train called the Moonlight Express, as well as picnics, carnivals, music, romance, love, and legend. The unlikely truth is that familiarity and age can make our most beautiful treasures banal if we do not pause to remember and observe and venerate the events and moments when we first saw, or most appreciated, a place like Sylvan Beach. For this reason, we ask you to come back with us to Sylvan Beach, where, for over 100 years, Houston and much of Texas has come to play, dance, pray, fall in love, relax, or simply swim in the bay. Today, the park and its pavilion are enjoying renewed popularity. About the Author: Ann Uloth Malone is past president of the La Porte Bay Area Heritage Society. She was married to Norman Malone, who served the communities of Lomax and La Porte as councilman and mayor for over 20 years. Dan Becker is a bookstore owner, attorney, and president of the Harris County Historical Society. Photographs in this book come primarily from the La Porte Bay Area Heritage Society Museum Archives. 128 pages.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The city of La Porte and the surrounding communities are laden with historical events and characters. Pioneers began settling 10 years before the Battle of San Jacinto, where Texas gained its independence. The land that was to become the cities of Morgan's Point, Shoreacres, Lomax, and La Porte was home to such Texas luminaries as Gen. Sidney Sherman, Gov. Ross Sterling, Andrew Jackson Houston, and James Morgan. The beauty of the area attracted legions of summer visitors, including Sam Houston and Dr. Ashbel Smith. Years later, pioneers of the Texas oil industry looked to the shores of Galveston Bay in La Porte to entertain and build summer places. La Porte was legally organized January 1, 1892, and for over a century of ups and downs has remained steadfast in preserving the natural beauty that is its legacy, the friendliness that is its nature, and the educational excellence to which the city's founders aspired. Today, La Porte is a unique combination of quaint small-town living with big-city amenities. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
