This is a very interesting report on The Chinese Experiment and it contains oodles of Southern History as it involves the Chinese workers. It is quite a lengthy report. You may just want to do an EDIT FIND (on this page), for Eddyville and then Hurricane. On September 8, 1900, Galveston lost 6000 folks to a hurricane according to this report. http://www.austin.cc.tx.us/itang/sample_chapters/Chapter_One.html I placed a link on the Lyon County page for this also. http://www.rootsweb.com/~kylyon/index.html
