Battle of Galveston: "My Father Is Here"
Artifacts. Stories.
In Episode 4 of my video series, Artifacts. Stories., I joined Kathleen Maca, author of Galveston’s Broadway Cemeteries, at the grave of a union soldier killed in the Civil War battle known as the Battle of Galveston. Rosenberg Library’s Museum Curator, Eleanor Barton, shows me two sketches of the battle.
