Letter from John Lovejoy on Galveston disaster
In a Sept. 16 1900 letter from Galveston Texas John Lovejoy reports to W B Dobbins that Tamable and family are safe while Judge Sampson’s home was swept away. He notes 700 acres of homes along the south side wiped out, 4100 houses on the 12th ward gone, and a 10 000 person death toll estimate. He describes months of chaos and the need for outside help as the city vows to rebuild stronger.
