Galveston Bookshop will host a book signing with returning authors Chris O’Shea Roper and Tom Linton and their look into the origins of the cowboy mythos, by way of the early cattlemen of the Texas Gulf Coast.
The story of the original cowboys of the Gulf Coast salt-grass prairies began long before Stephen F. Austin established a colony in the area and invited settlers to join him. It began with dispossessed farmers and nomadic cattle herders from as far away as Scotland, Nova Scotia, and Africa.
These cowboys and cattlemen lived a life far removed from the glamorous accounts that Hollywood would have us believe. Originally, their trail drives took them east to New Orleans during the Civil War years, and later north along trails with names like Chisolm. It has even been said that the mystique of the cowboy of the Wild Wild West owes its existence to these cowboys of the Wild Wild East.
Many of them – with names like Broussard, Butler, Campbell, Dick, and White – established farms and ranches that grew into family enterprises that make up the fabric of these coastal-prairie communities today. Some of the formerly enslaved also established homesteads in an area now preserved as The 1867 Settlement.
This book blends historical research into the origins of these men and women, with personal anecdotes and stories from their descendants to create a very readable tale.

*There is always live music and activities/information offered by one of our many Community Partners, whether it’s Rosenberg Library, Galveston Island State Park – Texas Parks and Wildlife, Galveston Sports Massage, facepainting or beyond…
*Products typically available include: kombucha, fresh bread, hand-roasted coffee, teas/salves/tinctures, olive oil, baked goods, salsa, jams, fresh eggs & meats and fresh produce. All GOFM markets utilize only LOCAL vendors selling foods they grow or make themselves, which means at certain times of year we have very little produce because our local farmers have very little harvest (ie if it has rained a great deal, or the middle of summer, immediately after several days of freeze, etc.)
