Campbell Being the first to consurrrmate any positive endeavor grants a particular individual or institution a greater uunount of respect and prestige than those who follow afterward. This concept rings true in every area of public re- lations. Brochures of various nursing schools consistently stress the accom- plished "firsts" that set them apart. The formation of a nurses' training school in Galveston, Texas, during the late nineteenth century established historical precedence in several areas. However, more important than claiming a fun- damental position in the annals of nursing education is the context within which the John Sealy Hospital Training School for Nurses fit into the over- all American nursing experience of the late nineteenth century. This article will explore the following questions: Where were nursing schools primarily located during this era? What dates marked the opening of pioneer training institutions in the western and southern regions of the country? What social, economic and political factors influenced the establishment of these training schools? What common challenges did they face? Finally, what was the significance behind the acceptance of the John Sealy Training School for Nurses by the University of Texas regents? The opening of a nursing school in Texas coincided with the establish- ment of a hospital and medical college in Galveston.

    64 The Houston Review 65 and where with the focus upon Magruder's battle. As such, it is an ex- cellent, readable, well-researched presentation- David G. McComb, Professor of History Colorado State UniversitY Foresight Built the Rosenberg Library's Archives Casey Greene The Rosenberg Lib rary in Galveston has long been recogn rzed, for its significant historical collection$. In 1923, the Southwestern His- torical Quarterly called them "a veritable treasure, undoubtedly the most important in the State except those at Austin."r Today, they constitute the core of the Galveston and Texas History Center, one of the Library's most prestigious departments. The genesis of this collection predates the opening of the Rosenberg Library's building to the public in 1904. On August 3, lB7 l, some twelve men founded the Galveston Historical Society, adopting the constitution and by-laws of the New York Historical Society. They sought to acquire and preserve papers, maps, and artifacts "that may serve to illustrate the general history of Texas, and of localities and events therein."2 The founders had the foresight to reco gnize the value of documentary materials that would likely have been lost or destroyed in later years. By 1875, they had collected a variety of papers, including those of Lorenzo de Zavala, the first vice president of the Republic of Texas; those of merchant and land agent James Morgan, as well as a narrative of the Mier Expedition by Joseph D. McCutchan.3 The Galveston His- torical Society engaged in periods of activity followed by inactivity. In 1895, it reorganized as the Texas Historical Society, which aimed to acquire and preserve archival materials and artifacts relating to Texas history.

  • Island Empire: the Influence of the Maceo Family in Galveston
    ISLAND EMPIRE: THE INFLUENCE OF THE MACEO FAMILY IN GALVESTON Tabitha Nicole Boatman, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2014 APPROVED: Scott Belshaw, Committee Chair Chad Trulson, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Committee Member Eric Fritsch, Chair of the Department of Criminal Justice Thomas Evenson, Dean of the College of Public Affairs and Community Service Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Boatman, Tabitha Nicole. Island Empire: The Influence of the Maceo Family in Galveston. Master of Science (Criminal Justice), August 2014, 127 pp., bibliography, 80 titles. From the 1920s until the 1950s, brothers, Sam and Rosario Maceo, ran an influential crime family in Galveston, Texas. The brothers’ success was largely due to Galveston’s transient population, the turbulent history of the island, and the resulting economic decline experienced at the turn of the 20th century. Their success began during Prohibition, when they opened their first club. The establishment offered bootlegged liquor, fine dining, and first class entertainment. After Prohibition, the brothers continued to build an empire on the island through similar clubs, without much opposition from the locals. However, after being suspected of involvement in a drug smuggling ring, the Maceos were placed under scrutiny from outside law enforcement agencies. Through persistent investigations, the Texas Rangers finally shut down the rackets in Galveston in 1957. Despite their influence through the first half of the 20th century, on the island and off the island, their story is largely missing from the current literature. Copyright 2014 by Tabitha Nicole Boatman ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my thesis committee members, particularly Dr.
