Texas Prohibition, Politics and a Tide of Change
Texas debates prohibition outcomes from the Dean Law era to the 1928 Smith Hoover shift. It notes arrests, convictions, and prison strains, Miriam Ferguson's 1924 pardon wave, and anti alcohol sentiment shaping politics. It highlights 1935 bootleg crackdowns, 1854 early bans and the Dean Law’s harsh penalties, then Von Norris and religious figures amid reform. The piece frames prohibition as a failed, evolving policy and promotes a Texas history collection.

Port Sullivan’s Rise and Quiet Retirement in Milam County
Port Sullivan grew from a 1835 settlement to a bustling riverport with 680 people by 1860 and 1,423 in the late 1870s, then faded to 123 by 1880 and vanished by 1890. A Texas Centennial marker misnamed it Fort Sullivan. The cemetery remains as the lone landmark, while abandoned locks and a discontinued post office mark the town’s end.
