The Story of Corpus Christi

This book describes the history of Corpus Christi through sketches of persons and events in the history of the city. According to the preface, it does focus less on the history than on the people, presenting in plain narrative form, a recollection of the days when Corpus Christi was young, of the trials and tribulations that fell to the lot of her residents in the war periods, and finally of her emerging as a fast-growing, progressive city of the Southland (p. v).
