| Galveston after the fire of 8 June 1877 |
“She called him ‘a half-hammered, kinky-headed, limber-legged, yaller negro who knew nothing about the science of salvation or the refined instincts that make up the cream of Christian piety.” - Galveston Daily News (Sep. 27, 1877)
and then fills in the story. Oh, Christian Brotherhood, how affable though art.
In 1877 Galveston may have had a population of 15,000. Wikipedia doesn't mention the fire.
