The Maceos and the Free State of Galveston - by Kimber Fountain (Paperback)

The Maceo Family Legacy is a gripping tale of two penniless Sicilian immigrants who rose from humble beginnings to lead an entire city to prosperity through their underground economy of illegal booze and gambling.

Despite the nature of their industry and its abrupt end, the Maceos left a lasting legacy on Galveston that has been cloaked in stereotypes and rumors for decades.

Through meticulous research and personal interviews with living descendants, Kimber Fountain lifts the veil on the Maceo family's closely guarded heritage, revealing a story of glamour, fame, and fortune that has inspired generations.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Galveston and the Maceo family's remarkable legacy.
