    Red Tide Warning
    by Lenore Myka
    (excerpt; first appeared in The American Scholar)

    The first sign is posted in the window of the empty ranger station and written in the style of a ransom note: w-A-R-n-i-N–g. The second flashes on a giant electronic sign just below the largest American flag I have ever known—alternating between park closure dates and announcements for an upcoming triathlon: warning. The third is fastened to a wooden stake stabbed into the edge of the dunes, its sides curling scroll-like in the morning wind:

    Red tide present.
    May cause eye, throat, or skin irritation.
    May cause coughing or sneezing.
    Avoid the beach if you have asthma or a respiratory condition.
    Onshore winds and rough surf worsen its effects.
    Can kill fish and other sea animals.
    Do not swim near dead fish or touch them.
    Wear shoes to prevent injuries from stepping on bones of dead fish.
    Keep pets away from the water, sea foam, and dead fish.

    This blog posts on Mondays. This year, , I am dedicating the first Monday of the month to Texas Books, in which I share with you some of the more unusual and interesting books in the Texas Bibliothek, that is, my working library. Listen in any time to the related podcast series.

    Last month I posted Part I of Selected Cabeza de Vaca Books, spotlighting the and editions and the various English translations of Cabeza de Vaca&#;s La Relación. (These translations included the Smith, Bandelier, Covey, and the perhaps unsurpassable Adorno and Pautz.) Herewith, for Part II, I offer some notes, tackled chronologically by their date of publication, on notable biographies and narrative histories of Cabeza de Vaca&#;s North American odyssey which I happen to have at-hand in my working library— what I have dubbed the Texas Bibliothek.

    (By the way, my own longform essay available on Kindle, &#;Dispatch from the Sister Republic or, Papelito Habla,&#; discusses Cabeza de Vaca&#;s odyssey a

    Spring has arrived on Galveston Island and once again, the island waits with open arms. 

    By Forest Riggs

    Countless books have chronicled the island’s rich history. The early struggles and historic roles of the island have been recorded and told in volumes of works. Reading any one these works can easily draw the reader into a captivation wit the tiny hamlet in the Gulf of Mexico. The history is rich and filled with many dramatic stories that have been used in song, movies, novels and even stage plays.  

    Needless to say, Galveston Island fryst vatten a unique place; upon simply hearing the very word “Galveston,†the mind instantly conjures all sorts of thoughts and images. In this respect, Galveston ranks right up there on a list with cities such as San Francisco, New York, Washington D.C. and other notable places. Each of these great cities inspires memories, images and thoughts.
