Purchased book hoping to discover a couple of gems on my stomping grounds, Galveston Bay. But to no avail. Poorly written, the book jumped from one seemingly unrelated chapter to the next. Author, in between dispensing tips that can be found in most any addition of Saltwater Sportsman Magazine, manages to get in an endorsement for some of his other fishing guides buddies.

    Book Description

    As I sit at my computer surrounded by pictures of “Rebel” and “Blue Lady” recording memories of my sailing life, I know just how lucky I have been. Had I been just a few years earlier in arriving on this earth, I would have missed the chance of a middle class working stiff to own such boats. Only one generation earlier had no opportunity to own and sail the boats I have known.

    Author J. Howard Williams experienced a variety of jobs in his lifetime, from a CPA to a marina manager to a boat salesman. But through it all, his heart has belonged to sailing.

    Journey with Williams through a lifetime of sailing adventures in Love at First Sight. On his sailboats Sooner, Sooner II, Rebel, Rebel II, and Blue Lady, he sailed well over 100,000 good and bad miles. On the water of Galveston Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, the Bahamas and the Atlantic coast from 1950 to 1990, Williams experienced and now shares a lifetime of joy for and fascination with the world of sailing.

    Having known the author for nearly a lifetime I was surprised at the drama and clarity of the writing, from technical sailing terms to spontaneous exclamation.I am glad love is in the title for only a mariner in love with the sea could write as the author has. Something haunting about the book. Couldn't put it down for one thing. But then there was the sea and the adventure of ships and those who love them.

    Book Description

    "Devotees of American Civil War literature should find their horizons broadened and their understanding of the war enhanced by this book."

    —Donald S. Frazier, author of Cottonclads! The Battle of Galveston and the Defense of the Texas Coast

    The Civil War history of Galveston is one of the last untold stories from America's bloodiest war, despite the fact that Galveston was a focal point of hostilities throughout the conflict. As other Southern ports fell to the Union, Galveston emerged as one of the Confederacy's only lifelines to the outside world. When the war ended in 1865, Galveston was the only major port still in Confederate hands.

    In this beautifully written narrative history, Ed Cotham draws upon years of archival and on-site research, as well as rare historical photographs, drawings, and maps, to chronicle the Civil War years in Galveston. His story encompasses all the military engagements that took place in the city and on Galveston Bay, including the dramatic Battle of Galveston, in which Confederate forces retook the city on New Year's Day, 1863.

    Cotham sets the events in Galveston within the overall conduct of the war, revealing how the city's loss was a great strategic impediment to the North. Through his pages pass major figures of the era, as well as ordinary soldiers, sailors, and citizens of Galveston, whose courage in the face of privation and danger adds an inspiring dimension to the story.

    4 out of 5 stars Entertaining and informative study of Galveston's part in the Civil War.......2007-01-21

    Don't let the title mislead you, "Battle on the Bay" is much more than a battle monograph. It is a thorough retelling of the actions of the important gulf port city of Galveston, Texas throughout the war. Author Edward Cotham reviews the politics and early war action. He then takes the reader through the 1862 Federal seizure of the port and the brilliant cottonclad attack that recovered the city for the Confederacy. He also reviews the naval and blockade running activity through the end of the war.

    Cotham's narrative is very entertaining and easy to read while at the same time providing the reader a wider understanding of Galveston's place in the war. Despite his obvious enthusiasm for the subject, the author maintains a balanced tone. I especially enjoyed the amusing anecdotes about "Prince John" Magruder's colorful and at times brilliant actions. Cotham does a great job of reviewing anecdotes and events from Galveston's wartime history that provide good sense of the problems facing a city under friendly and enemy occupation.

    The book is well illustrated and has some useful maps of the outlines of fortifications by Don Frazier. Frazier's map of the fight at Kuhn's wharf is helpful and critical to understanding the unique battlefield, but it might have been more so if it had some unit labels on the CSA side as well as a wider view of the surroundings as well as a scale. Lacking in the text itself is a detailed order of battle for the CSA units engaged, commanders, and a breakdown of each unit's substantial casualties.

    I recommend this book to those interested in understanding the Civil War in Texas and particularly to anyone trying to understand the very important strategic coastal war. As a detailed military study, I found Cotham's work about Sabine Pass more compact and focused, while this text about Galveston will appeal to those interested in a wider overview of the war along the Texas coast.

    5 out of 5 stars Union forces had captured Galveston which was the key to Texas!.......2006-07-04

    "Gen. Magruder will attack the Yankees at Galveston by water and land tommorrow night...If the Yankees fight well it will be a desperate affair & our loss maybe terrible, but if we succeed entirely of which I think there are reasonable hopes it will be a brilliant affair. Galveston will certainly suffer great injury, and may be entirely destroyed. I don't care for this if the enemey can be capture. "
    William Pitt Ballinger, December 30, 1862

    I bought this book last August (2005) while on vacation to Galveston. A shop (on the Strand) in one of the buildings that survived. I walked the down town area and there are few marks that a battle was fought there. Some bullet holes and marks on walls can be found. There are Historical markers but I wish there was more. Like maybe the smoke in the air from cannons and Men rushing the docks with bayonet musktes :) Galveston does have awesome beaches and this is a very fun book. I could not put the book down once I started reading! Included are good maps and photo's of what happen.
    What would you do as Gen. Magruder as you face a superior enemy fortified on Kuhn's Wharf (and with control of the city/island) with the USS Navy backing him up in the bay? The outcome of Texas is in your hands!

    5 out of 5 stars Battle on the Bay.......2004-01-26

    A very detail oriented and illuminating book. I have no trouble recommending this book to any serious student of american history.

    2 out of 5 stars Amusing........2003-12-13

    This is a true, factual account of how a handful of Texans recaptured the Port of Galveston during the Civil War. But it is a book intended, or at least should be intended, for local consumption only.

    Ya gotta love Texans. I do and I am very proud to be one. But to understand us, like any other race, creed or culture, you have to understand our language. We love bombast, tall tales and, well, whoppers! We revel in them, enjoy them immensely. The bigger they are, the more outrageous they are, the better they are. No one will pull your leg quicker than a Texan. Why tell a wimpy whopper? There is no earthly reason for that kind of behavior. It is certainly nothing a true Texan would do. If you are going to swing, go for the fences.

    And that is what the author has done here. Only a Texan could take a minor firefight and turn it into liberation! Men did fight and die here, ships were captured and some prisoners were taken. I do not want to denigrate the heroic bravery of the Northern and Southern soldiers who fought and died in this engagement. But really, to subtitle this book The Civil War Struggle for Galveston is silly. This wasn't Shiloh, Chickamauga, Vicksburg or Gettysburg. Four Union ships stopped by, landed a hundred or so soldiers and got gobbled up due to inadequate support. This happened thousands of times to both sides during the four years of the war.

    Sorry guys, nothing of significance happened in Texas during the war. It was just too far from the scene of the contest to have an overland impact and the Federal Navy and capture of New Orleans and Vicksburg rendered Texas completely unnecessary as a theater of operations.

    4 out of 5 stars Battle on the Bay.......2003-11-11

    I have found Edward T. Gorham's book "Battle ON The Bay" a very thoughtful read. He not only gave the history of the battle of Galveston, he also informed you on the accounts of all the events leading up to Siege of Galveston. But also thoroughly developed the Commanding Officers of both the Union and Confederacy, in this battle, which occurred New Years day, 1863. "BATTLE ON THE BAY" also informs the reader of the accounts from the Confederatec victory to the end of the war. This book had humor as well as excitement. I could not put this book down. Every page held my attention, and I wondered what the next page contained. This book did a good job on informing me about the history of the area where I live.

                Book Description

                Michael Kun — Pulitzer Prize-nominated author — and Howard Bloom — former newspaper reporter and columnist — explain that, contrary to popular belief, a walk is not always as good as a hit. They argue that it’s not always wrong to root against the home team. They contend that the Houston Astros’ jerseys were not the ugliest jerseys ever worn in the major leagues. They rail against the common misconception that Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance was a great double play combination. They insist that Shoeless Joe Jackson did not bat right-handed, he did not go barefoot, and he did not refuse to accept money to throw the World Series. They heap scorn upon those who believe Joe DiMaggio was ever “The Greatest Living Baseball Player.” And they offer a sound rebuke to anyone who thinks a baseball book can’t be smart, funny and informative all at the same time.

                The Baseball Uncyclopedia is a witty and irreverent guide that debunks some of the mythology, opinions and widely held beliefs about baseball that fans have clung to for generations.

                3 out of 5 stars Some Good Stuff.......2006-11-24

                I enjoyed this book. But, seemingly not as much as previous reviewers. The basic format was from A (David Aardsma) to Z (Dutch Zwilling) with quite a bit in between. Particularly, I liked the sections on major league playing brothers,the pitch count,the hidden ball trick,manager Preston Gomez twice lifting pitchers in the process of throwing no-hitters that had gone eight innings,Phil Linz playing the harmonica from the back of the team bus after the Yankees had lost a game,pitcher Wilson Alvarez's no hitter in his second major league game. In his first start he retired no batters. All in all a worthwhile addition to a baseball fans library.

                5 out of 5 stars A great read.......2006-04-28

                I consider myself a rabid baseball fan, and as such, have prided myself on collecting random baseball factoids through the years... Most baseball fact books are tedious rehashings of standard (and admittedly boring) baseball trivia. We all know that Dave Winfield was drafted in 3 professional sports... We all know that Nolan Ryan struck out the side on nine pitches a gazillion times... We've been ready for something else for some time now. This book is the something else. Not only was it well written and very humorous, but is was entirely filled with original baseball facts and thoughts. Now that's impressive. Kudos to Kun and Bloom, and thanks for the great read.

                5 out of 5 stars The Newest Member of Michael Kun's Cult.......2006-04-26

                As a lifelong baseball fan, I approached this book with some amount of trepidation. Poking fun at baseball can be a dangerous thing. You run the risk of ticking people off or, much worse, just sounding stupid. After reading all of the reviews of Michael Kun's books, most of which seem to be from a growing cult of readers, I figured it was worth a try. And I'm very glad I did. The book isn't perfect. Far from it. There are a few sections that didn't work for me at all, and the interplay between Kun and his co-author didn't always work, either. But Kun is so consistent -- and so consistently funny -- that I have gone ahead and ordered all of his other books. I'm not ready to dub him a genius yet, like some of the other customer reviews, but the key word may be "yet."

                4 out of 5 stars A fun read.......2006-03-28

                Unlike the other reviewers here, I have not read any of the author's other works...yet. I did find this book very entertaining though, so if Kun's other books are similar in style I'm sure I'll enjoy. I did however find a few things wrong in this text. I'm looking over my shoulder and find no girlfriend around, I hope that the significant others of Kun and Howard, and their editor for that matter aren't around. I don't want to embarrass them. First of all, Big and Little Poison are the nicknames of the Waners (Paul and Lloyd) NOT the Wagners (Honus and Lloyd(?)). Also, is was Tug Mcgraw that said he'd never smoked artificial turf, not Ken Brett. There were a couple of other things wrong here, but as I said it was an enjoyable read and even found myself laughing out loud at times.

                5 out of 5 stars Something For Everyone.......2006-03-16

                Entertaining from cover to cover. Keeps you laughing while at the same time giving interesting "tidbits" to rattle off while watching a game or in in any conversation. That's the beauty of this book-whether you're a die hard fan, casual follower, or not that interested in baseball, you'll still enjoy it.

                            Book Description

                            What do you think of when you think of the beach--a hot sun? Burning sands? Crowds of people tanning, picnicking, and playing? Well, there's another beach, one with breathtaking sunrises and thrilling sunsets, with cool breezes and empty expanses, and where the heavens meet the earth. That what you'll see here, and each photo captures nature so closely you'll almost smell the salty sea as you turn the pages. The photographs venture into many spaces: Sanibel Island on the Gulf coast, with its imposing landmark ironwork lighthouse and impressive dunes covered with shells. The Chincoteague Refuge in Virginia shelters beautiful birds, countless deer, and its famous wild ponies. Not so far from New York City lie the Hamptons, where during stormy weather the raging Atlantic forms six-foot waves that break on shore. An unequalled testament to some of America's most spectacular shores.

                              Book Description

                              This amusing and provocative collection of early hand-tinted postcards and black-and-white photographs presents the American female bather in her colorful seaside costumes. Posed and spontaneous, sober and giddy, these early images offer a delightful ode to women at the beach. They also serve as an evocative social document of the newly liberated woman. Victorian women in their last age of innocence went to the beach heavily clad and were bystanders as men frolicked in the surf. But social mores and fashions began to change at the turn of the century. Women cast aside their cumbersome garments for scantier and sometimes risqué bathing frocks, which in turn gave way to the daring swimsuit. A camera-happy nation documented these carefree women at the beach. Beach Beauties captures the best of these delightful seaside scenes.

                              I mean, it's not the best SVU book. It has a dorky title

                              3 out of 5 stars Not as Good as the first 3.......1999-01-01

                              This book was all right, excpet that I found that the narrative had sort of darkened. The first books were uplifting and light-heartered. Except when Winston Egbert was involved the novel seemed a bit meancing. Still it wasn't that bad, but not excellent reading.

                              4 out of 5 stars One of the best LIFEGUARD books yet!.......1998-10-25

                              This book was one of the best LIFEGUARD books I've ever read. I don't think Jessica should have gone to all those lenghs to try and impress Ben when it was pretty obvious that Ben was involved with Priya. Stu is a pretty weird guy; not exactly Nina's type. Elizabeth's back with Ryan, who is also a weied character. I would though recommend this book to all Sweet Valley fans.

                              3 out of 5 stars HMM, so-so book........1997-08-26

                              I guess it was ok, since Liz wasn't seeing anyone really at the time, cuz of Todd and she cooled it cuz of Gin-Yung, but I don't like Ryan. Oh, well, Liz was back with Ryan, thats boiut it. If you like SVU with Todd adn Liz NOT Tom and Liz email me and we can talk.

                              I have purchased the book written by Kenneth Beer MD - Palm Beach Perfect Skin and am so happy that I did. It explained in great detail an easy way to stay looking younger without having to go through major surgery. I have since purchased his products that are described in the book and can tell you the self heating crystals are absolutely wonderful. My skin has never felt so smooth. I would recommend everyone to get this book so they can achieve better looking skin becuase I can already see and feel a difference.
