A good general history of Indianola, TX was written by Brownson Malsch titled _Indianola: The Mother of Western Texas_. There's a drawing of the long, long piers on the cover, and the book includes photos and information about the famous camels arriving in Texas as well as the demise of the town. I found it good reading. Sorry, no passenger lists. Rosemary Ermis RErmis@compuserve.com Alvin, TX
