Numerous books were published shortly after the storm. Many of those depicted the suffering, horrific experiences and heroicism of those who survived the the storm.
Lists of dead were updated and published daily for about the first month in newspapers of the many cities of Texas as well as other cities throughout the United States. After many additions and corrections a “final list of the dead” was published about a month after the Storm in the Galveston newspaper. That list is published on this site on the Those Who Died Pages
In the year 2000 when this website was created many of the books listed below were out of print and others were being published or reprinted due to the centennial observations of the Storm. It is now 2020. We have not made a study to see the availablity status of any of the books
This researcher has a copy of most of the books listed below. After supplementing the List of Those Who Died with the 1900 Galveston City Directory, which has been done and supplementing information found in the 1900 Galveston Federal Census, which has partially been completed, It is planned to go through some of the books listed below for additional information.
